ABSTRACT:
Cultural fracture is an important concept in the study of migration in
recent years. This concept tries to explain the special living status
of migrants in the light of cultural perspective, and a community of
relatives-occupation of migrants is a concrete manifestation of
cultural fracture and proactive choice in the face of risks of
migration. This paper investigated a family of micro-supermarket
business in Shanghai as a sample. This family came from Yongjia of
Wenzhou, an industrial region, and were merged into another city in a
short period of time. Taking their life history in this metropolis as a
stage, this research showed the organization, daily life, network
between family members, and self-sufficiency and interdependence within
this network. The uniqueness of the communities of relatives-occupation
was then exhibited, compared with the traditional village family
communities. Considering the special status of the community in the
city culture, this paper re-evaluated the force of cultural fracture
and criticized the previous studies on the migration groups.
