Whenever the United States is mentioned, Hollywood movies and Coca Cola come to mind; with Japan, it's sumo and sushi that are synonymous with the island nation's culture; France is always associated with wine and perfume; while for Brazil, samba and free-flowing football are common associations.

What is the cultural identity of our nation? Kungfu? Peking Opera? Or dumplings?

Asked such a question, we can easily end up scratching our heads, as we find it quite difficult to come up with a clear answer.
