Hakka culture, Hakka spirit

[sllee <sllee@asiawind.com>]

Tai Ga Hao,

I think the current discussion on the Singapore conference raises some 
interesting issues. It might be interesting to ask and answer the 
following questions ourselves:

1. How do we feel or think Hakka culture and Hakka spirit are? How is it
similar to (or distinct from) the original Han culture?

2. Do we feel that ALL Hakka traditions need to be preserved (this might be
flame inviting), and whether we need to expand on the original concept of
Hakka culture in the modern world? Are Hakkas merely parochialists
(regionalists, xenophobists, nationalists, conservationists...) concerned 
about Hakka's own interest and survival? 

This would be important for what and how we define as survival of Hakka.
I would like to take a pool of our netters and summarize the result.
