Bevan Chuang migrated to New Zealand from Hong Kong at age 15 with his family in 1996. As a 1.5 generation immigrant, he straddles both Chinese and New Zealand cultures. He helps support his family publicly due to his mother's limited English skills but remains a child at home. Bevan experiences internal conflicts around balancing his Chinese and Kiwi identities and challenging or conforming to different cultural expectations. Open communication and understanding between generations can help 1.5 immigrants navigate these challenges.
