I grew up with drinking starbucks, eating kfc and mcdonald's, and I started learning and speaking english since I was 6 years old. tbh I see myself as a western girl. I'd say drinking starbucks is kinda represents an identity for me.
tbh western culture has a very big impact on Chinese culture, such as american culture and british culture back in the day and now. If you look back in time, let's say during ww2. I'd say shanghai is definitely a hot spot. shanghai is one of the international settlement during ww2, and there are many architectures in there have western architecture style. tbh I'm very much into the architecture in shanghai which have the western architecture style. If you've ever been to shanghai or if you search ' waitan, shanghai western style architecture' on the internet, you'd find out there're pretty much western style architecture in there. And you'd also see there is a very high building which located at waitan which pretty much similar with the big ben in London haha. tbh I've only been to shanghai once before for travelling when I was 19 years old, and yeh that was a while ago, but I still remember how much I love the architecture there.
In my opinion, identity is very important and necessary for every individual. Identity determines in which culture I see myself. I'd say I'd see myself as a western girl who has strong opinion and confident in my own skin. tbh identifing myself in western culture and be confident in my own skin are completely two different things. I love how I look, and I'm happier and more appreciate about the way I think, and the way I behave.🤍
Love ja, enjoy yourself, stay positive🤍
Cheers
