SUMMARY:Chinatown ’75 Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:CHINATOWN ‘75 is an interactive walking tour that tells the story of the police brutality case that rocked Chinatown and the protest movement that arose in its wake. In May of 1975\, 25\,000 protesters marched from Chinatown to City Hall to demand justice for the beating of Peter Yew. \nBased on archival research and oral histories with march participants\, CHINATOWN ‘75 traces the route of the original Peter Yew protest march to paint an in-depth portrait of a transformative moment in Chinatown’s history. We’ll explore how the interactions between radical social movements\, community organizations\, and the NYPD shaped the ensuing demonstrations\, and how the iconic photographs of the march came to symbolize a generation of Asian American activism. \nImportant: The meeting location is the south side of Canal Street and Elizabeth Street. The ending location is Foley Square. Tour runs rain or shine. \nDate and Time: 8/15 at 2:00 PM\, 8/16 at 11:00 AM\nTIckets: $28.52 Student/Senior\, $33.85 General \nTours will be led by Dr. Michael Menor Salgarolo\, a New York City-based historian\, walking tour guide\, retired stand-up comedian\, and founder of UNASSIMILATED Walking Tours. He holds a PhD in History from NYU and is now an Assistant Professor of History at Bard College. \nThis walk is presented by UNASSIMILATED Walking Tours and Think!Chinatown\, as part of the 2026 Chinatown Storytelling Festival. \nUNASSIMILATED is a walking tour company that crafts unique narrative experiences to tell a people’s history of Asian America. We bring knowledge from the archive to the sidewalks to amplify forgotten and silenced Asian American voices from the past.

SUMMARY:Chunxiang: a Queer Musical
DESCRIPTION:This August\, join us for the first public presentation of Chunxiang: A Queer Musical\, an original Mandarin musical inspired by The Peony Pavilion. \nABOUT THIS WORKSHOP \nThis event is a work-in-progress staged musical reading workshop featuring the first half of the musical. It is not a complete production or a fully staged performance. \nThrough live readings and musical performances\, audiences will have an early opportunity to experience the world\, characters\, and music of the piece as it continues to take shape. \nThe presentation will be followed by a conversation with the creative team. We invite audience members to share their responses\, questions\, and ideas. Your feedback will become part of the musical’s ongoing development. \nRather than simply attending a finished performance\, you are being invited into the creative process and helping us discover what this story may become. \nABOUT THE MUSICAL \nChunxiang: a queer musical is an original Chinese-language musical reimagining the Ming-dynasty classic The Peony Pavilion through a queer-feminist lens. The piece blends the lyricism of Chinese opera with the emotional immediacy of contemporary musical theatre\, exploring desire\, death\, and rebirth across time. \nAt its heart is the belief that queerness is not a modern invention\, but as old as human longing itself. By restoring queer voices within canonical texts\, the work bridges tradition and the present\, offering both continuity and new ways of seeing. \nThis August in Flushing\, join us for a work-in-progress musical reading workshop\, and become part of the musical’s development. \nLanguage: Mandarin Chinese with EN supertitles \nWhether you’re a theatre lover\, a fan of new musicals\, or simply curious about new stories\, we‘d love to have you with us at this early stage of the journey. \n📅 Saturday\, August 15\, 2026\n🕒 2:00–4:00 PM\n🏠 Glow Cultural Center\n📍 133-29 41st Ave\, Flushing\, NY\n🗣️ Performed in Mandarin Chinese with English supertitles\n🎟️ Donation-based RSVP

SUMMARY:Eastwind Summer Book Club: Orphan Bachelors
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our second annual Summer Book Club where we’ll be discussing Fae Myenne Ng’s intimate and striking memoir Orphan Bachelors!\n\n\nJoin us for an heartfelt discussion on Orphan Bachelors\, the Fae Myenne Ng’s award-winning memoir on being a confession baby\, Chinatown daughter\, baa-bai sister\, caretaker of exotics\, literary balloon peddler\, and grand historian of a doomed American family. \nPlease RSVP for the Zoom link. This will be a virtual event\, so come in your comfiest clothes and have your favorite snacks on hand. We encourage you to finish the book before the event\, but you’re more than welcome to join us no matter how far you’ve read. We look forward to seeing you! \nThere is also a special book club sale for the book on our website. The paperback is $5 off for book club attendees! \nAbout the Book \nIn pre-Communist China\, Fae Myenne Ng’s father memorized a book of lies and gained entry to the United States as a stranger’s son\, evading the Exclusion Act\, an immigration law which he believed was meant to extinguish the Chinese American family. During the McCarthy era\, he entered the Confession Program in a failed attempt to salvage his marriage only to have his citizenship revoked to resident alien. Exclusion and Confession\, America’s two slamming doors. As Ng’s father said\, “America didn’t have to kill any Chinese\, the Exclusion Act ensured none would be born.” \nNg was her parents’ precocious first born\, the translator\, the bossy eldest sister. A child raised by a seafaring father and a seamstress mother\, by San Francisco’s Chinatown and its legendary Orphan Bachelors — men without wives or children\, Exclusion’s living legacy. She and her siblings were their stand-in descendants\, Ng’s family grocery store their haven. \nEach Orphan Bachelor bequeathed the children their true American inheritance. Ng absorbed their suspicious\, lonely\, barren nature; she found storytelling and chosen children in the form of her students. Exclusion’s legacy followed her from the back alleys of Chinatown in the 60s\, to Manhattan in the 80s\, to the high desert of California in the 90s\, until her return home in the 2000s when the untimely deaths of her youngest brother and her father devastated the family. A a child\, Ng believed her father’s lies; as an adult\, she returned to her childhood home to write his truth.Orphan Bachelors weaves together the history of one family\, lucky to exist and nevertheless doomed; an elegy for brothers estranged and for elders lost; and insights into writing between languages and teaching between generations. It also features Cantonese profanity\, snakes that cure fear and opium that conquers sorrow\, and a seemingly immortal creep of tortoises. In this powerful remembrance\, Fae Myenne Ng gives voice to her valiant ancestors\, her bold and ruthless Orphan Bachelors\, and her own inner self\, howling in Cantonese\, impossible to translate but determined to be heard.

SUMMARY:Author Talks: Kim Eui-Kyung
DESCRIPTION:In her absorbing and candid novel Hello Baby\, Kim Eui-Kyung explores what women endure to become mothers. The novel features six women in their thirties and forties who strike up a friendship at a fertility clinic in Seoul and share their personal paths to motherhood via a group chat they name “Hello Baby.” Switching between the six characters—a journalist\, a police officer\, a vet\, a lawyer\, and two housewives—this thought-provoking novel explores the social pressure and emotional strain on women struggling to conceive. Written with insight\, humor\, and great empathy\, Hello Baby is a moving portrait of what it means to be a woman today and the lengths some will go to seek motherhood.  \nIn this episode of Author Talks\, Kim Eui-Kyung discusses her novel\, translated into English by Sora Kim-Russell.
