that has gotten many, many, many people talking,

動名詞

critics loving it, saying it-it's a beautiful new way

that everybody wants to be talking about right now.

But when you read it, it's basically written

Uh, I work in Hollywood, so I already had the software.

of what you were talking about in the previous segment.

-Stories, um, resonate with people. -Right.

And, um, I wanted to tell the story that way

also because of the-- what the story's about,

It's a story about a character, Willis Wu,

who is a man who just dreams of making it big on the big screen.

and what resonates in the book is it talks about the challenges

that he faces and so many Asian Americans and Asians in America

have faced with being represented onscreen

in a way that is not boiled down to stereotypes.

Right. Yeah, I mean, it's, um, h-his dream.

So, Will-- To-- Willis' story is basically that he--

And, um-- So, you know, everyone's seen Law & Order,

And way in the back, pretty much out of focus,

-in the Law & Order univor-- universe?" -Right.

And-and I-- and I started to get interested in this world

and exploring the world, because the view from the bottom

-It-it really is powerful, because... -(applause)

you talk about in this book one man's journey,

deals with how Asians have been pushed to the side in America

that-that Asians have it good though, because they go, like,

"so they-they're seen as less threatening

But-but you have a different view on that idea.

the model minority is just sort of the age-old strategy

-of divide, you know, divide and conquer. -Mm-hmm.

And holding one group up justifies holding a group apart.

And it's not just you're, sort of, saying Asians have it good.

You're kind of showing the other groups you could do it, too.

And also, the fact is there are plenty of Asians

You know, there are, the-the characters in this book

they're struggling to assimilate culturally.

And I, and that's a story that we don't see as often.

We see... in the media, stories about Asian succ--

Asian American success, but not always this story.

In this book, is, um, is a character who dreams

of just getting to play the lead in a kung fu film.

That's-that's what he's dreaming of doing.

Interestingly enough, though, and-and I mean, I get why

the character's doing it, that's one of the things that you say,

like, always broke your heart in the smallest way,

when you'll be watching TV with your family,

is you'd look up when you saw an Asian person on screen.

And then they would always distilled into, like,

a few categories... like, why do you think

that that affected you so much, especially with your children?

is that I'm a dad and I'm, my kids are old enough

And sort of, I had made peace with being, you know,

But now, they're old enough that I have to turn and explain

to them, you know, why is that guy doing a funny accent?

-Right. -You know, or why-why is that person

squinting their eyes and playing an Asian on TV?

And you know, there has been a lot of progress.

we still don't see enough, and we don't... I don't...
