Abstract
Assimilation is a lifelong job for foreign-born Chinese Americans due to the fact that Chinese and
American cultures are drastically different from each other. Thus, they have to struggle for negotiations
between two cultures. This paper will discuss how Chinese female professors at University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign struggle for negotiations and assimilations in the cross-cultural setting of China and
America. During ten weeks of fieldwork, I used ethnographic approaches, including interview,
participant observation, and “go-along” method. This paper will present the research group’s struggles
for negotiations and assimilations in America through shaping sketches of them, describing their
struggles in the cross-cultural marriages, and mapping their houses both in China and in America.
