Abstract
- Starting with the 2005 Chinese Heritage Centre exhibition 'Chinese More or Less' (for which I wrote the storyboard) - specifically with that part of the exhibition that profiles diasporic Chinese exemplars of different ways of combining cosmopolitanism with Chineseness - this paper attempts to respond to questions raised by Anthony Reid, viz: whether my moving from diaspora to Shanghai comes of 'Shanghai (re)joining the diasporic sense of Chinese modernity and post-modernity'; whether 'the diaspora no longer seems quite so distinctive once China is again an open and cosmopolitan place'; and whether I am still a 'Chinese Overseas' when I live in Shanghai.
