Chunhua, a Korean-Chinese, lives in Japan. Her mom lives in South Korea, and her grandmother lives in her hometown, Yanbian. Most of the Korean-Chinese youth left their hometowns to go to Japan or Korea to make money. This is the story of Korean Chinese, living as strangers.

As Japanese, I watched this content with being really interested in… and the fact that 80k Korean-Chinese people are living in Tokyo is so surprising. As native, we usually can not find who is Japanese but who’s not from their appearance especially in East Asian people… Anyway, people with different context share common space in real life and it is mind-blowing.

In China, students need to learn a foreign language as early as in primary schools, usually in local Korean ethnic schools they teach Japanese instead of the more popular English, because the grammars of Korean and Japanese are quite identical, it's easier for them to master, and unlike in Korea, Korean Chinese have no problem in learning Kanji. So it's no surprise many of the students would choose to further study Japanese when they go to colleage and finally end up in Japan.

Please make more documentaries about Korean Chinese and Chinese Korean.

Yes I echo this sentiment. We need more content on the Korean Chinese connection. Yanbian peoples have been especially discriminated against in Japan and SK as not being fully integrated into Korean national culture. Yanbian a and Chinese Koreans are Korean people ethnically but nationally something else. They are stil Koreans in blood and spirit!

A minute into this and the choice for background music takes me right out of it. Why choose an old Mötley Crüe song just because the title is "Home Sweet Home"? Cultural and context miss.

_Sixx added, “We didn’t know what to do, so we started writing songs for ‘Theater of Pain,’ and ‘Home Sweet Home’ started to come out. The lyrics came out of that feeling of being gone so long and wanting to come back, which is ironic, because all you ever want is to get in a band and go on the road, but then you’re on the road and you want to come home.”_ It does seem to fit well enough?? What is your problem?

@@terrayi I think it was a wonderful choice. as a person whose family is all over the world; we barely get to meet eachother. I found the beginning of this doc very cinematic. It almost felt like a movie. Great job guys

@@fizakhanniazi4770 I felt that the documentary was indeed fantastic. The song choice just felt very out of place. The only thing connecting it is the title. The tone and the band don't match the rest of the documentary. The documentary, I would say, is *too* good for the song choice. Is Mötley Crüe just some copyright free music? Nothing about that band connects to this doc. Surely there is a song about home or family that is Korean, Chinese or Japanese?
