评分或许是无数美国梦故事里面一个并没不太特别的故事,但是作为少数中国移民的故事还是有一些代表性的。感受最深的是他作为一个移民试图融入一个陌生国家的心路历程。为了不被别人视为一个 Asian boy,为了看起来更「美国化」,反而刻意做了一些奇怪的 事情。「群体认同感」真得是...

评分本月读书《How to American》,作者是一个华裔演员Jimmy Ouyang中文名叫欧阳万诚,之前是通过美剧《硅谷》认识到他的。他在里面扮演一个中国到美国发展的程序员。因为我自己也在国外也是搞程序开发,听着他一口中式英语很有共鸣。这本书用诙谐幽默的叙事手法讲述他13岁左右从香...

图书标签: 美国 传记 移民 Jimmy 英文原版 Comedy Biography 英文原著
Standup comic, actor and fan favorite from HBO's Silicon Valley and the film Crazy Rich Asians shares his memoir of growing up as a Chinese immigrant in California and making it in Hollywood.
"I turned down a job in finance to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. My dad thought I was crazy. But I figured it was better to disappoint my parents for a few years than to disappoint myself for the rest of my life. I had to disappoint them in order to pursue what I loved. That was the only way to have my Chinese turnip cake and eat an American apple pie too."
Jimmy O. Yang is a standup comedian, film and TV actor and fan favorite as the character Jian Yang from the popular HBO series Silicon Valley. In How to American, he shares his story of growing up as a Chinese immigrant who pursued a Hollywood career against the wishes of his parents: Yang arrived in Los Angeles from Hong Kong at age 13, learned English by watching BET RapCity for three hours a day, and worked as a strip club DJ while pursuing his comedy career. He chronicles a near deportation episode during a college trip Tijuana to finally becoming a proud US citizen ten years later. Featuring those and many other hilarious stories, while sharing some hard-earned lessons, How to American mocks stereotypes while offering tongue in cheek advice on pursuing the American dreams of fame, fortune, and strippers.

评分挺真诚的讲自己很有趣的经历。美国梦对每个人都有点不太一样。有些事情之前没有想过,也大概就是在美国这样的大熔炉里identity才会变成重要的社会议题,也会跟个人成长这么息息相关。到处做宣传讲的话都一样就有点烦。也不是很认同他以为的美国吧,虽然有点道理可还是觉得肤浅, completely anecdotal
评分这个建议听audio 特别好笑
