How OCGC started
“OCGC started as an idea because there is something that cannot really be described: There is an immediate connection whenever fellow Third Culture Chinese meet: our shared values, our experiences of growing up among different cultures, the question around identity. More importantly, we believed that a community gives us the opportunity to help each other navigate our collective, yet unique experience as third culture individuals. That is what we want OCGC to be.”
Daniel Vuong and Jens Lin, OCGC Founders
What our members think about OCGC
I’m not really good with words but there’s an immediate connection whenever I meet fellow overseas Chinese: our shared values, our experiences of growing up between different cultures, the big question for our identity or simply laughs about taking Chinese classes when our peers could enjoy their weekends. More importantly, I believe that a community gives us the opportunity to help each other navigate our collective, yet unique experience as third culture individuals.
