Thank you for your citation: reading this below by Amy Tan brought up a huge smile on my face, which reminded me of my great uncle's broken English:
Here's what she said in part: "Du Yusong having business like fruit stand. Like off the street kind. He is Du like Du Zong -- but not Tsung-ming Island people. The local people call putong, the river east side, he belong to that side local people. That man want to ask Du Zong father take him in like become own family. Du Zong father wasn't look down on him, but didn't take seriously, until that man big like become a mafia. Now important person, very hard to inviting him. Chinese way, came only to show respect, don't stay for dinner. Respect for making big celebration, he shows up. Mean gives lots of respect. Chinese custom. Chinese social life that way. If too important won't have to stay too long. He come to my wedding. I didn't see, I heard it. I gone to boy's side, they have YMCA dinner. Chinese age I was nineteen."
"... I later decided I should envision a reader for the stories I would write. And the reader I decided upon was my mother, because these were stories about mothers. So with this reader in mind -- and in fact she did read my early drafts--I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English I spoke to my mother, which for lack of a better term might be described as "simple"; the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as "broken"; my translation of her Chinese, which could certainly be described as "watered down"; and what I imagined to be her translation of her Chinese if she could speak in perfect English, her internal language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to capture what language ability tests can never reveal: her intent, her passion, her imagery, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts. Apart from what any critic had to say about my writing, I knew I had succeeded where it counted when my mother finished reading my book and gave me her verdict: "So easy to read."
My conviction was: the more Chinglish, the more people to say "So easy to understand."

Hwang's best-known play was M. Butterfly, which premiered on Broadway in 1988. The play is a deconstruction of Giacomo Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly,[11] alluding to news reports of the 20th-century relationship between French diplomat Bernard Boursicot and Shi Pei Pu, a male Chinese opera singer. Shi purportedly convinced Boursicot that he was a woman throughout their twenty-year relationship.[12] The play won numerous awards for Best Play: a Tony Award (which Hwang was the first Asian American to win), the Drama Desk Award, the John Gassner Award, and the Outer Critics Circle Award. It was the first of three of his works to become a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.《蝴蝶夫人》,該片於1988年在百老匯首映。該劇是賈科莫·普契尼的歌劇

我舅公自称讲一口上海洋泾滨与广府/港台音英语,他生活在唐人街带地方囗音的美英语。他讲拼几个英语单词,无语句,无时态。讲法语,无动词变位。即便如此,他生意与西洋人任来往!
后来我留意英国辞典用广府(即广州)/港台音标人名地名物名. e.g., 孙逸仙 (Sun Yat-sen)、蒋介石 (Chiang Kai-shek)、广州 (Canton)、香港 (Hong Kong)、功夫 (Kung fu)、豆腐 Tofu, 十七世纪西洋人从香港入广州. 事实上,生活在西方世界,不怕洋泾滨港台音, 就怕你不敢开口呻。发扬光大洋泾滨港台音!
"何曾几时,每当有著名的中国人讲英语,必遭来国人一片哗然,嘲笑的,批评的,谩骂的,甚至上升到国格,人格的高度,英语不就是一个工具,至于吗?
前不久,小米老总雷军在印度说英语的视频传到中国,遭来一片吐槽,说他丢人丢到国外去了。打开视频,我被感动了,雷军操着超级烂的英语,敢在母语是英语的印度,大声的喊英语,台上台下热烈的互动,这是一份多么强烈的自信,会一句,就说一句,比一句不会,一句不说,像个傻子一样站在那里强一百倍,难怪人家的事业做的那么大。
中央电视台一个记者用英语采访非洲国家的总统,又遭来批评,什么口音重,中式英语,相反人家老外倒说他,说得很好啊!姑且不说英语怎样,人家影响采访了没有?对方听懂没有?目的达到没有?一切效果都很好,有点口音,有点不足有什么好指责的?"

上海洋泾滨与广府/港台音英语
上海洋涇濱與廣府/港台音英語
洋泾浜,原是上海的一条河浜,位于从前的公共租界和法租界之间,后来被填成一条马路,即今天的延安东路。所谓“洋泾浜英语”,是指不讲语法,按中国话“字对字”地转成的英语。它最初是十九世纪中外商人使用的混杂语言,只有口头形式,没有统一的书面形式,而且变体很多。
洋泾滨英语(pidgin english)即混杂英语,混合英语,英汉夹杂语,母语或者其他语言与英语混合在一起说。洋泾滨英语也叫皮钦语,为英文“pidgin”的音译,俗称“洋泾浜”(读yáng jīng bāng ,源于上海一处靠近租界的地名),属于“混合语”, 以前特指是华人、葡萄牙人和英国人在中国从事贸易的联系语言,现已泛指带地方囗音的美/英语. 民国时期的上海,一些为招揽外国人生意的小摊贩,没法系统的学习外语,靠自己摸索出来的一些发音不标准的日常售货用的英语.被所谓的上等人看不起,称之为洋泾滨.
从纯粹语言学的观点看,只是语言发展的一个阶段,指在没有共同语言而社会交际中语言混合的产物。

哈哈,good point!First,all of Chinese need to speak up. Dont be silent. No matter with accent or not.
Dont keep silence just because of fearing making mistakes.:)
Dont impress the others that Chinese only know how to work,but not know how to talk.
It's now that "Chinese accent” already sounds just as seductive and sexy as those shopping centers typical European, British accents, like television chef Nigella Lawson. Hehe..
Speak out so Chinese not only know how to work but also know how to talk English well! way to go!
