Today United States known as a social and cultural mosaic has seemingly been the inclusive homeland for different ethnic and racial groups. However, beneath the fact that the value of diversity is now popularly promoted as an American label, how much do Americans truly know with each other? Asian American Studies are not only about bringing up with those people missing in the history of the U.S to call attention for the once marginalized Asian communities, but can also give students insights about how the history has shaped American American experiences and influenced others in a variety of ways so that a true understanding of the diversity can be achieved. According to Sylvia Yanagisako's "Rethinking the Centrality of Racism in Asian American History," she points out that Asian American history studies still lack the focus on the transnational perspective to understand the Asian migration history and the social formations of Asian communities. The Asian migration history is significantly embodied in the interactions between countries, the connections between families, and even the heritages between generations. There is no doubt that the transnational perspective provides a comprehensive understanding of social formations of Asian American communities and the complexity of Asian American identity. The transnational perspective lays the foundation for understanding the immigration and exclusion of Asian American within the context of "American imperialism and labor exploitation of third-world peoples, both at home and abroad  (Yanagisako 18) in the mid-nineteenth-century. When tracing back the Asian migration history as early as 1840s, apparently, the waves of migrants were mingling with the changing world. As Chan emphasizes, "Asian international migration was part of a larger, global phenomenon  in hopes that "the movement of workers, capitals, and technology across national boundaries  would benefit those dominant entrepreneurs to enjoy their pursuits of materialism worldwide(4). As Ding's video depicts that the internal and external troubles led to the decline of China, the transnational perspective reminds us that understanding the international context is a better way to help explain why "emigration therefore became not just a means to a better life, but a lifeline  (Chan 8). On the other hand, the West began to regard China as a inferior and vulnerable country, so the Chinese Exclusion Act featured the justification for the political and cultural hegemony of the West at that time, to some degree, reveals the substantiation of the transnational perspective because it is the first discriminatory law for a specific nation. Also, the transnational perspective allows us to explore the more diverse roots of those "transnational families  wandering within the global waves. Although Chinese immigration in the mid-nineteenth-century has been simply signaled as some terms like "coolie trade," "labor trade" and "prostitution trade," however, this kind of narrative centered on the stifling history easily disguises people to ignore the existence of the humanity and the bond of love that also bridge the nations. Yung Wing, who was the first Chinese student graduated from Yale in 1840s, devoted his life to the realization of the Chinese Educational Mission, "a program that brought young men from China to study in the United States  and surviving from the struggles of his transnational life due to "the anti-Chinese sentiment in US  as described in his memoir, "My Life in China and America" (Railton).
