| Haifa’s Yan Yan Restaurant was established by
Chinese-Vietnamese refugee Kien Wong. Wong is a devout Christian
who evangelizes Chinese migrant workers and expatriates. His
children, meanwhile, variously negotiate their complex identities
as Christian Chinese Israelis in a Jewish homeland surrounded by
Arab states, rocked by Palestinian uprisings and steeped in
religious orthodoxy – in a country where religion and ethnic
identity are powerful sources of tension as well as solace. |
