Generations Abroad Media (GAM)
Born Abroad. Rising as One Generation.
They are Abroad-Born Chinese (ABC).
A Next Generation (ABC Next Gen) shaped by more than one culture - grounded in modern life, contributing across disciplines, cultures, and societies.
Generations Abroad Media (GAM) exists to honor, document, and present this generation with pride.
This is where it begins
Founding Editor’s Note - To You, ABC Next Gen
You were born abroad, and you are rising as one generation.
You are the Abroad-Born Chinese (ABC) Next Gen: raised across cultures, grounded in modern life, and contributing openly across universities, professions, creative fields, and communities worldwide.
For the first time in history, a generation like yours, is fully visible - not as immigrants or descendants of migration, but as confident participants and leaders in the societies where you grew up.
This recognition is unprecedented.
It marks a turning point -
Old images of Abroad Chinese, shaped by Chinatowns, labor histories, and survival narratives, no longer define the present.
You represent something new: a generation shaped by more than one culture, fluent in complexity, and trusted by the world.
You belong not only to an identity, but to the societies you shape, the histories you are changing, and the future you are building.
What makes this generation remarkable is not that you are extraordinary.
It is that, taken together, you are real - thoughtful, capable, ethical, creative, and grounded.
Some of you move quietly. Some confidently. Some lead early. Others grow steadily.
Yet across different countries, disciplines, and life paths, there is something deeply shared.
When we look closely, we begin to see it clearly.
Generations Abroad Media (GAM) exists to honor this turning point and to present this generation as it truly is, with pride and accuracy.
GAM is a stage for vivid and meaningful moments of life, seen from multiple perspectives.
Here, real experiences are reflected through stories, conversations, films, and programs -
created by Next Gen voices, parents, peers, mentors, and experts across fields.
Through these mirrors, you may recognize others, and more importantly, see yourself more clearly and more fully.
This platform is not built to define you, but to support you, connect you, and reflect the depth of who you already are.
Let us continue to change history and contribute to our world - together.
Welcome to the GAM community.

What comes next
编者寄语｜写给海外华人父母
你们这一代人, 走过了历史。
离开熟悉的土地，在陌生的国家扎根, 工作, 抚育下一代, 并不是为了被看见, 而是为了让孩子有更多选择, 更稳的未来。
在很长一段历史中, 海外华人的形象被固定在早期移民, 劳工, 生存与忍耐之中。那段历史真实, 艰难, 也值得被尊重。但它已不再完整地代表今天。
你们的孩子, 正在改写这段历史。
他们成长于所在的国家, 被本地社会认可, 信任与尊重 。不再被视为“外来者”，而是作为同代人, 同事, 同行者走进主流社会的各个领域。这种变化在海外华人历史中前所未有。
这不是偶然。
它来自你们几十年的付出 - 在两种文化之间的坚持, 取舍与适应, 在家庭中传递价值, 责任与自律,
在不确定中为孩子创造稳定。你们并非只是“支持者”，而是这一历史转折的重要奠基者。
然而，在孩子逐渐走向更广阔世界的同时, 我们这一代父母也常常站在一个新的位置上 - 既为他们感到骄傲, 又需要学会放手。既希望他们走得稳, 也需要接受他们与我们不同。
Generations Abroad Media (GAM) 正是在这样的历史时刻出现的。
GAM 是一个共同的舞台，呈现海外华人下一代真实而多样的人生片段, 也让父母的视角, 经验与成长被看见。在这里, 人生并不被简化为成就, 家庭也不被压缩为结果, 我们通过不同世代, 不同领域, 不同地区的真实经历, 彼此理解，彼此映照，继续向前。
或许在这里, 你会重新理解孩子，也重新理解自己。
你们已经走过了一段不容易的路。而接下来的路，不需要独自完成。让我们继续携手,见证这一代人如何改变历史, 并为这个世界作出真实而长久的贡献。
欢迎来到 Generations Abroad Media（GAM), 一个属于这一历史时刻的共同舞台。

Thinking about 2026
Y. · Parent · New Jersey
2026 feels like a year where I want to slow down a little. To notice everyday moments more - meals, short conversations, quiet evenings and not rush past them.
Thinking about 2026
H. · Parent · Vancouver
When I think about 2026, I’m learning to hold things more lightly. Less urgency to fix, less need to advise. More trust that growth is happening even when I can’t see it clearly.
Thinking about 2026
L. · Parent · San Jose
As 2026 approaches, I find myself thinking less about plans and more about presence. I hope to listen better - not just to what my child says, but to what they don’t always put into words.

Felt rushed all day for no clear reason. Slowed down in the evening. The day felt different immediately.
Y. · Parent · New Jersey
Short phone call tonight.
No big topics, just checking in. Sometimes that’s enough.
K. · Next Gen · Austin
Ordered groceries online and forgot one key item. Ended up improvising dinner. It worked better than expected.
D. · Next Gen · Los Angeles
Took a different route home today. Same distance, completely different mood.
Might do this more often.
Thank you for being here
