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！！！

台灣，我們的國家，一直以來便以充滿自由、民主、多元、包容的價值而自豪，身為國際的一份子，即便不被他國認同，我們依然願意敞開大門、伸出援手，如同蔡英文總統說的Taiwan is helping，因為這是我們深信的價值，現在如是、未來亦如是。
　　
我們已經把蔡總統的文章轉換成簡體中文了，請大家分享出去，讓FB上的 #外國朋友們，也能看到我們台灣人一直對自身所堅持的價值感到驕傲。
　　
简体中文翻译：
　　
对于今天台湾被指控在国际社会上发动种族歧视攻击的言论，我要表达强烈的抗议。台湾向来反对任何形式的歧视，我们长年被排除在国际组织之外，比谁都知道被歧视和孤立是什么滋味。
　　
借着今天这个机会，我想要邀请世界卫生组织谭德塞干事长（Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus）访问台湾，感受一下台湾人民如何努力在遭受歧视和孤立之中，坚持走向世界、贡献国际社会。
　　
在世界各地，包括谭德塞干事长的家乡在内，都可以看到台湾的医疗人员和志愿工作者无私奉献的身影，台湾人不会用肤色、语言去区分他人，所有人都是我们的兄弟姐妹。台湾，从来没有因为无法加入国际组织，就减少对国际的支持。
　　
疫情期间，台湾倾全国之力防疫，成绩也受到世界瞩目。即使世界卫生组织因为政治的操弄将台湾排除在门外，我们还是扛起国际社会成员的责任，主动援助口罩等防疫物资，给疫情严重国家的医护人员。
　　
#TaiwanCanHelp，而且Taiwan is helping，这一点，从来不会因为国度或种族而有差别。
　　
自由、民主、多元、包容，是台湾人坚信的价值，我们不会接受利用种族歧视的言论，来攻击不同意见的人。如果谭德塞干事长能抵挡中国的压力，踏上台湾的土地，就能了解到我们对防疫的努力，并且理解真正受到不公平待遇的，其实是台湾人民。我相信只有台湾的加入，世界卫生组织的拼图才会完整。
　
英文原文：
　
I strongly protest the accusations today that Taiwan is instigating racist attacks in the international community. Taiwan has always opposed all forms of discrimination. For years, we have been excluded from international organizations, and we know better than anyone else what it feels like to be discriminated against and isolated.
　　
I want to take this opportunity to invite Director-General Tedros to visit Taiwan and experience for himself how committed the Taiwanese people are to engaging with and contributing to the world, even in the face of discrimination and isolation.
　　
Taiwan’s selfless medical workers and volunteers can be found around the world. The Taiwanese people do not differentiate by skin color or language; all of us are brothers and sisters. We have never let our inability to join international organizations lessen our support for the international community.
　　
Taiwan has poured all of its efforts into stopping the spread of COVID-19, and our achievements have received a great deal of attention from around the world. Despite being excluded from the WHO due to political manipulation, we have shouldered our responsibility as a member of the international community and taken the initiative to donate face masks and other supplies to medical workers in countries hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic.
　　
#TaiwanCanHelp, and the spirit of Taiwan is Helping has never been influenced by nationality or race.
　　
Taiwan is dedicated to the values of freedom, democracy, diversity, and tolerance. We do not condone the use of racist remarks to attack those with different opinions. If Director-General Tedros could withstand pressure from China and come to Taiwan to see Taiwan’s efforts to fight COVID-19 for himself, he would be able to see that the Taiwanese people are the true victims of unfair treatment. I believe that the WHO will only truly be complete if Taiwan is included.

After a month's worth of gruelling shooting, all the casts and production crews have poured their blood, sweat & tears into this project, creating a beautiful work of art.

聽過了原英版嗎？http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwyjxsOYnys 雖然歌詞有一點下流我很喜歡這首歌。你們有沒有喝醉過然後打電話給你們的前女／男友？ 這首繞舌歌曲代表這種感覺。

莎莎君是我的好朋友。 她為了這首歌特別花時間學中文。

When Drake's song "Marvin's Room" came out earlier in the summer something came over me and I was immediately drawn to the honesty of the track. I feel like we've all been there before and I wanted to put my own multi-cultural bilingual spin on it!

Sha Sha Jones poured her heart out into this rendition and I hope you are as moved by her beautiful voice as I am. Thank you, Sha Sha for your energy and for learning the Mandarin. It was such an honor to collab with you.

Special Thanks to my cousin Karen Shueh for help with the bilingual translation and George Wang for the idea.

Simplified Lyrics:

德瑞克 -- 我不要妳跟他在一起 (中英文版)

(大文)：
马子的号码
还在我电话
赶快去找她
我已经呆来呆去太久了

我以前的女友
有个新的男朋友
但我喝了太多
我就打她电话跟她说：

我好讨厌妳的男朋友
我知道妳有时还会想到我
我说
我好讨厌这个王八蛋
我知道妳看不出来他多烂

我不要妳跟他在一起
希望你们赶快分手
我不要妳跟他在一起
很抱歉我喝了太多红酒

(莎莎君) :
Listen

听着
Don't say you're sorry
不用道歉
But why did you call me？
‪但‬是你为什么打电话来？
I already told you
‪我所有想说的话‬
Everything I had to say
早就跟你说了

What we had was special
‪我们曾经拥有的时间很‬宝贵
And no one can replace it
是无法取代的
But now that time is over
但现在那个时间过了
and we chose to go our separate ways
我们也选择各走各路

Don't be hating on the guy I've found
不要说我新男友的坏话
Cause it wasn't him who didn't stick around
又不是他决定要跟我分手
Don't be hating on this guy I like
不要说我好男友的坏话
Cause he makes me happy and he treats me right
他让我快乐又对我好

You're just saying I can do better
你觉得你比他好
Tell me have you heard yourself lately?
你有没有告错？
You're just saying I can do better
你觉得你比他好
Please don't make another mistake
拜托别再犯错

(大文)：
I need you right now
我现在需要妳

(莎莎君)：
Are you down to listen to me?
你听到我了吗？

(大文)：
Too many drinks have been given to me
人家灌我太多酒
Leaving was not my decision to make
离开不是我的错

(莎莎君)：
You have to live with the path that you take
你做的事你自己负责

(大文)：
You said long distance was too hard to do
妳說远距离恋爱太幸苦

(莎莎君)：
You have to learn to accept that it's true
你要学会接受这个事实

(大文)：
Why can't you see that I love you the most?
妳为什么看不出来我最爱妳？

(莎莎君)：
I just can't live my life loving a ghost
只是我无法爱着一团空气

你不要我跟他在一起
