U born perak and that's your hometown.
Yr dad from Johor so that's his hometown. You are 50/50 mix of hokkien and Cantonese but choose English as yr mother tongue. Still become a cinapek in the future. Anything else about your identity crisis? |

QUOTE(mushigen @ Apr 10 2025, 09:54 AM) But according to some people I've met, Chinese regard one's hometown based on their father's hometown, not their birthplace/growing up place. This is 祖籍。Family origin from older times. Using this logic, your hometown is in China. >Your hometown is your father's hometown. >Your father's hometown is your grandpa's hometown. >Your grandpa's hometown is your great grandpa's hometown...  Is relevant in bloodline but relationship wise, those who moved out are no longer close to each other unless everyone is wealthy, you know what i mean. |
