●Foreword
After knowing things about overseas Chinese from Myanmar, don’t you have more interest in them? Now, let us conjecture what they will face in the future. According to the information we collect, the followings are our discussion and conclusion.
●The future of overseas Chinese from Myanmar
The first generation of overseas Chinese from Myanmar has lived in Myanmar for many years, so their living habits are much like the Burmese’.They came to Taiwan and also introduced their culture here. They might have faced a lot of problems including language, work and even discrimination in the beginning. Though this kind of problem is alleviated now, it is unavoidable that some locals still stereotyped them. For example, from their viewpoints, the Burmese have a high crime rate. On the other hand, the overseas Chinese from Myanmar may also feel inferior because of their personal experience, like suffering from some frustration due to their identity. And then they will consider that it doesn’t matter if their children can’t speak Burmese, refuse to treasure the heritage, or even hide their own identities. They hope their descendants will adapt themselves into the Taiwanese society and lead a comfortable life in the future.

●The Progress of Myanmar Street
For the purpose of preserving and uniting Burmese culture, Myanmar Street needs to progress. How can Myanmar Street progress? The following are our suggestions.
Establish a Bulletin Board At the entrance of Myanmar Street, there is just only a sign marked “南洋觀光美食街”. Someone who comes newly may not know how special the place is. We can set up a bulletin board explaining some route plans, activities, and also a brief introduction of the overseas Chinese of Myanmar, and most of all, the information should be updated regularly. It will probably arouse tourists’ interest and also show the tourists how particular the overseas Chinese of Myanmar are. |

Keep Clean There are many eating houses on Myanmar Street. Tourists come and go, leaving some garbage on the floor. We suggest setting up public garbage cans, publicize the importance of cleanness and arrange someone to tidy it up on a regular basis.

Advertisement and Expandability Currently, a lot of people only know Myanmar Street via “Songkran Festival”. However, if Myanmar Street is usually connected with some interesting ads or commercials, it may attract more people to visit here. After getting more popular, the business on Myanmar Street will be able to thrive, and what’s better, the special cuisine of the overseas Chinese from Myanmar can be passed down from generation to generation. |
