Abstract:

Chinese immigrants are distributed in various countries all around the world；thereby the history and ways of life of Chinese immigrants in those countries are different. We analyzed the reasons and characteristics of the first two generations of Chinese immigrants to Spain by studying the origin and history. In Spain，the Chinese immigrants，who live in a relatively closed world，have the greatest difficulty in blending with the local communities. Language is not the only impediment for them to blend with Spanish communities；differences in lifestyle，values and ways of thinking are also factors contributing to their isolation.

Key words: Chinese in Spain；traditional thoughts；cultural conflicts；culture blending；social integration
