Shang-Chi Marvel Simu Liu Marvel Studios

Shang-Chi is number ONE at the box-office for the THIRD week in a row! It's made over $300 MILLION worldwide. What a feat in this covid era for any movie, let alone an ASIAN-LED one!

I personally am feeling so inspired from watching Shang-Chi!! I don’t think I’ve ever understood what (Asian) representation feels like until I watched this movie. Being born in and raised in the US, as an Asian-American, I didn’t feel like I belonged. I spent a lot of my childhood living a double life – quiet and reserved at school, and felt much more at home in a Chinese school.

I've trained in Wushu since I was 7 but it wasn’t until I watched Mulan that I got the courage to show people who I really was. I never want my children to feel that way! I love how Shang-Chi the movie represented all of those groups, North American-born Chinese, overseas Chinese, and Asian immigrants as a whole. The characters were so relatable – from the nods to taking off our shoes, to getting scolded about getting married to our most filial friends, to getting scolded about our job choices – and it showed how there is actually someone like me in the writers’ room.

Cheers also for including Indian Americans as Asian-Americans because they are. The action scenes were phenomenal and you could tell the cast really poured their heart into training and preparing for performance. And finally, in the end credits, seeing the first Asian superhero actually stand beside Mr. Wong, Captain Marvel and Dr. Bruce Banner aka The Hulk, just made me realize that, oh man, this is real. This actually happened. Let’s keep these Asian-led blockbusters coming!!

尚氣與十環傳奇已經連續三週票房第一！全球票房收入超過 3 億美元。在新冠病毒的時間點還能有這樣的票房對任何電影來說都是一項壯舉，更不用說是以亞洲文化為主題電影了！

尚氣這部電影讓我受到了很多啟發！！在我看了這部電影之前，我感覺我從來都不知道（亞洲）被再現在大螢幕上的感覺。我在美國出生和長大，作為亞裔美國人，我時常找不到歸屬感。我的童年有很大部分時間都過著雙重生活——在學校安靜又拘謹，而到了中文學校才有家的感覺。我從 7 歲開始練習武術，但直到看到《花木蘭》，我才鼓起勇氣向其他人展現真正的自我。我不希望我的孩子在未來也有這樣的經歷！我喜歡這部電影《尚氣》的原因不只是因為好看，它也代表了所有以下這些群體，北美出生的華人、海外華人和整個亞洲移民。這些角色是如此的具有象徵意義，可以產生共鳴——從點頭到脫鞋、因為嫁給我們最孝順的朋友而被責罵、甚至是被質疑我們的工作選擇——這看得出編劇裡居然也有像我這樣的人，我也為電影將印度裔美國人納入亞裔美國人的一員感到開心。動作場面真的非常壯觀！你可以看出演員們真的全身心地投入到訓練和準備中。最後，可以看到第一個亞洲超級英雄站在王先生、驚奇隊長和布班納博士（綠巨人）旁邊，讓我意識到，天啊，這是真的嗎？我不是在做夢吧。我相信未來一定有更多亞洲文化主導題材的電影！！！

分享另一種 “AI” 👉 人稱 「小 AI」 的 Andre Iguodala

休息空檔看到這則新聞，想起剛剛好的2年前的這週讀了他的自傳，再拿出來分享一下。不知道他在台灣知名度如何，是否可以出中文版呢？

“On drive, on leadership, on pain, on accomplishment, on the shame of being given a role, and the glory of taking a role on” （關於自我驅動力，關於領導力，關於痛苦，關於成就，關於被賦予某個角色帶來的羞辱，以及承擔該角色所帶來的光榮）

🌻台灣時間昨天(08/08)是父親節. 在這邊祝各位父親佳節愉快. 也希望大家珍惜與家人相處的時光. 對家人表達愛意, 也不需要特別等到這一天.

🌻美國生活
Lockdown後, 請小心腰圍..........

前幾天去了醫院. 醫生也說, 疫情後, 她大約有1/4的孩童客戶是過重(還是肥胖). 也有些孩子還得了憂鬱症.

這篇文章介紹了跟減重有關的公司:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-long-can-bmw-resist-teslas-pull-11628005314

上面那句話說的挺好. 財測是高層對未來營運做預估的一種方法. 之前放掉一家公司, 就是因為公司的營收預估一直做得不好, 加上也還有比它更好的公司.

🌻上週做的功課與閱讀
上週花比較多的時間在看公司的財報結果. 功課反而有些亂掉了. 不過還是整理了一下看到的一些資訊:

🌻美國這幾天目前最紅的亞裔Sunisa Lee.......苗族人(Hmong).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qn49CBmd9M

中西部真的挺多. 都有在Wisonsin, Minnesota碰到過.

苗族人定居美國的故事: https://bit.ly/3yxYA50
"大批苗族人在70年代以難民身份來美定居，至今美國苗族人口約有26萬。他們集中在美國中西部地區生活，明尼蘇達州正是 苗族社群的最大聚居地，人口逾6.6萬人，蘇妮莎正是出生於該州首府聖保羅巿（Saint Paul）。蘇妮莎的父母正是來美的難民之一，然而雖然成功逃避戰亂，但至今六成美國苗族人屬於低收入階層，超過四分一更屬貧窮階層。"

The only thing our parents knew was to push us to go to school, get an education and go to college. They never thought that us as Asians could do any extracurricular activities without being judged,” said Amy Vang, owner of Little Luxuries Nail Lounge, where Lee got her nails done ahead of the Olympics. “That’s why Suni’s story has touched so many people…It has opened eyes in the Hmong community, to parents, that you can support your children in whatever they want to do and they can become successful.”

🌻Apple TV+的"Schmigadoon"這部片挺不錯........有興趣的話可以看看(尤其是喜歡歌舞劇的讀者).
劇裡面的這首歌我也很喜歡. 與大家分享.
