Whether due to differences of language and culture or lingering psychological ties to their roots, the first generation of Chinese immigrants, even if they became U.S. citizens, found it hard to think of the U.S. as their home, and most didn't care to.
或許是東西方文化和語言上的大差異，也可能是因為中國人「葉落歸根」的觀念，今天在美國的第一代華人移民，縱然成為美國公民，多數還是不太願意，也很難把美國當成自己的國家。
