Abstract:<\/strong>
\nThis dissertation explores the changes in Chinese master students\u2019 identity and their sense of belonging during the years of their stay in Germany. The main purpose is to understand how they perceive their attachment to China politically, culturally and ethnically and how the perception gradually changed after their experiences in Germany, where they have learnt and developed different strategies to negotiate their identity and belonging. The study applies a combination of longitudinal method and the method of the biographical narrative interview which tracks 25 Chinese students\u2019 lived experiences and processes of their change from their first semester until after they graduate from Germany, in order to capture critical moments of their transitions. The dissertation provides longitudinal evidence to reveal the complex and multilayered nature of the changing progress of these students\u2019 identity and also supports that students\u2019 transcultural experiences in Germany which helped them \u201cunlearn\u201d a normalized concept of \u201cChineseness\u201d assisted them to go beyond their state-bound national loyalty and postulate a potential transcultural position in today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n
