Description:

The first week of shelter-in-place, an old friend of mine who lives in Beijing reached out to me and asked if I was interested in a part-time gig teaching English. A friend of hers was looking for an online English instructor for her 7-year-old son, who was out of school for the rest of the year.At the time, I had no idea how my life in quarantine would be shaped. I was supposed to be working on a grant and a paper as part of my day job as a scientist, but I d already wasted a few days lying on my porch staring at the clouds. I remembered a theme from one of my favorite books, Gao Xingjian s Soul Mountain : even when living under a cruel, authoritarian regime, the oppression of loneliness often outweighs the oppression of society. In quarantine, all the excitement I previously had for the PhD I was going to start in August had faded, simply I don t know because I was alone? Here s a new op-ed I wrote for NYT Chinese. The title roughly translates to, To Fight the Diseases of the Spirit, Asian Americans Must Reject Whitening . In short, I discuss the pandemic of the spirit (i.e. racism), which arrived in the US long before the coronavirus pandemic did, and which will be a lot harder to cure. Further, I talk about Asian American complicity with the model minority stereotype, how anti-Asian racism during the coronavirus pandemic is forcing the Asian American community to reconsider their head-down-work-hard attitude, and why going forward we need to instead show solidarity with other US minorities instead of trying to whiten. Bullet journaling is something I’ve wanted to get into for a while now. The concept is simple: You have a notebook full of dotted pages. This means you are not confined by the left-right, top-down format of a regular lined notebook. In Mountain View, a group of Chinese parents learn to use the democratic process to prevent the opening of marijuana stores. For a population oft criticized for their political inaction, what is the price of speaking out, and who will listen?https://cn.nytimes.com/usa/20191209/chinese-grannies-ganja/ Here s another one I wrote! Reflecting on my relationship with my parents language, especially through those teen years of motivated rebellion/rejection and then college, when I re-evaluated who I wanted to be based on the cultures that made me an arc that I think many children of immigrants will identify with.Part 1:http://cn.nytstyle.com/education-career/20161018/chinese-class-usa1Part 2:http://cn.nytstyle.com/education-career/20161019/chinese-class-usa2/ At the age of 65, my grandma left her job as a surgeon in the #1hospital in China to come to the U.S. with barely any knowledge ofEnglish to raise me me while my parents finished grad school.Re-starting from scratch as a gas station cashier/ dim sum restaurantcart pusher, she built a new career using a synthesis of Westernmedical theory and traditional Chinese medicine to help couples whocouldn t conceive. Twenty years and ~300 successful births later (anda number of humorous cross-cultural misadventures and onenear-arrest), grandma has finally retired. This is her story, as seen through my child eyes and my now eyes.http://cn.nytstyle.com/culture/20151222/tc22laolao/ Forgot to announce this!
