I produced a 20 episode documentary “Australia Chinese New Migrants”, It has been showing on screen through Chinese TV station networks in China. Unfortunately they are all in Chinese language at this stage. But I’d still like to introduce a few episodes of the documentary below. There are also linked to the trailers of the documentary. Even though the trailers are in Chinese, but you will still be able to see the image of the documentary. However I am going to re-edit it to English version next year. 

 The Milk Bars     

It was based on stories about new Chinese migrants operating milk bars in Australia. The documentary talks about two types of new Chinese migrants with totally different backgrounds: one had a very good education and a very good job in China; the other did not attend much school back in China and does not understand much English at all. However, after arriving in Australia, they end up with the same destiny and the same job – becoming the owners of milk bars.
