Jook-sing : ウィキペディア英語版
Jook-sing

''Jook-sing'' or ''zuk-sing'' (竹升) is a Cantonese term for an overseas Chinese person who was born in a Western environment and/or a Chinese person who more readily or strongly identifies with Western culture than traditional Chinese culture.
== Etymology ==
The term ''jook-sing'' evolved from ''zuk-gong'' (竹杠; ''zhugang'' in Mandarin) which means a "bamboo pole" or "rod". Since ''gong'' (杠) is a Cantonese homophone of the inauspicious word 降 which means "descend" or "downward", it is replaced with ''sing'' (升), which means "ascend" or "upward".
The stem of the bamboo plant is hollow and compartmentalized; thus water poured in one end does not flow out of the other end. The metaphor is that ''jook-sings'' are not part of either culture; water within the ''jook-sing'' does not flow and connect to either end. The term may or may not be derogatory. Use of the term predates World War II.〔()〕
