    It’s impressive. Paloma won the II Premio Nacional de Poesía Viva. I don’t really know how to do justice to the competition’s name, but it translates to something like “Second National Prize for Living Poetry”. It’s “living poetry” because contestants recited their poems aloud, rather than having their work only in print. If you are good at Spanish...

    Paloma’s youth is shared by many Overseas Chinese. Her parents migrated from Wenzhou in the ‘90s to Valencia province. They toiled in their restaurants day to night. They had little time to spend with Paloma and so her elder brother became her teacher of Chinese culture. “But I didn’t like it at all. It was very boring learning to write hanzi (Chin...

    Paloma’s parents took her to Wenzhou twice before she turned 10. She hated it because she felt out of place. “I was with my family and they spoke wenzhouhua (Wenzhou dialect) but when they spoke to me, they spoke putonghua (Mandarin),” she said. “But everyone just considered me a xiangjiaoren(banana; a person who was white inside but Asian on the o...

    Summer 2012 came and Paloma left her parents completely mystified one day when she told them she wanted to visit China.

That one month renewed her relationship to her Chinese...

    When Paloma visited Wenzhou after seven years of absence, her relatives noted that her Chinese was better when she last visited, at eight years old. Paloma learned Chinese from her brother when she was younger. Then there was the blackout of Chinese culture. But when she visited Wenzhou in 2012, her mother signed her up for one-to-one classes with ...

    So that begs the question. How come Paloma had such a difficult time with being Chinese in her youth? It turns out that she felt that it came down to not having any role models or references in the small town that she lived in. Her cousins who grew up in a bigger city, Valencia, had a much better grasp of Chinese because they were able to attend Ch...

    I guess I have never seen it this way but Paloma made a good point. When she was a university student, she spent a year in China as an exchange student. That really helped her situate her Chinese identity as a huaqiao (Overseas Chinese). It also helped her understand her parents. Paloma spent one year in the Shanghai International Studies Universit...

    Paloma eats lunch at 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. It’s a very unique Spanish trait. Unlike her brother or parents, she was born in Spain. As a result, Paloma has different expectations from her parents. As she spent time in her parent’s restaurant, she often thought that she didn’t want to be there. She didn’t want society to pigeonhole her into typical areas...

    “Spanish people have a lot of wrong ideas and stereotypes about Chinese people,” she said. She’d like Spanish society to see Chinese people as multi-dimensional people. She’d like to see stereotypes of Chinese people as uncultured, dirty, super studious, dog eaters and all other baseless accusations disappear. She’d like to see the end of “Chinese ...
