评分看了两页就觉得,这可真是一个不好好读书的浪里小白条,这么光明正大地展示自己曾经的尴尬处境也是不易。或许喜剧正是那一道窗口,可以笑着说出狼狈,用幽默化解严肃。 其中有很多流行文化的融入,比如吐槽他爸爸是一个行走的yelp评论机,笑到爆炸。 中美文化的冲突也很明显,...

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...
评分This is the very first audible book I've ever listened to and it absolutely blew my mind with how easy and natural the narration is for me to immerse into. I didn't know Jimmy O.Yang at all before this book and had never seen the hit tv show silicon valley ...

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.
After reading this one, I love more about Jimmy.
评分my mission is to make asian immigrants as sexy as ryan gosling. xD
评分听audio,第一分钟我就笑喷了 “ A lot of you guys are wondering oh my god it’s Jian Yang from Silicon Valley but he talks like a normal person, of course I do It’s called ACTING you people!”
评分audible上是他本人念(演)的~基本上贡献了拍方向盘大笑若干次,以及粉上他爹了~作为一个亚裔strip club同好,真的笑哭了~不过听到说他回香港点了个凤爪吃,然后突然觉得在那时候他可以放下亚裔的身份那段,给我听哭了。我感觉我们属于同一类,太害怕不融入,导致融入得太好了,只有拿下作为异乡人的无形帽子的那一刻,有点可怜自己,那个理所当然的想法和举止跟人不一样的作为外国人的自己,在所谓包容的美国文化里淹没不见了。但是还是亚裔之光啦~我还是很欣赏他这种不惧怕被刻板化的精神,在亚裔的表面之下他依旧是个优秀的相声演员,喜剧演员,这才是作为亚裔的民族自信啊。
评分这个建议听audio 特别好笑
