The Chinese-French marriages I investigated revealed a strong ability to balance their cultural capital Shanghai, the biggest city in China. Due to the city’s colonized history, French cultural influence continues in Shanghai today. I used the participant observation method and interviews to conduct in-depth ethnographic work with three Chinese women who married their French husbands. By applying Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of capital, I evaluate the cultural capital possessed by the Chinese-French families in Shanghai. If the women are experiencing the same unequal family status as the mail-order brides? Differ from mail-order brides, the three Chinese women have the autonomy to choose their husbands, are well-educated businesswomen, and are empowered by Western feminist theory. Based on Bourdieu's theory. I proposed the idea of balancing cultural capital, including foods and languages, in the three marriages. In terms of the power dynamics in the family, two of Chinese-French families were primarily French in daily family conversations, and they all agreed that their French husbands had more authority in their Children’s education and determination in food customs. Nevertheless, all three women expressed appreciation toward French culture and satisfaction with their marriages. Moreover, they are proud of a mixture of cultural values in their daily routines. Therefore, I argue that Chinese-French marriages are more beneficial to Chinese women's cultural capital than Chinese marriages.
