Keep your Christianity sheathed

Upon receiving the news that Aiiieeeee! will be reissued, Professor Justin Tse wrote the following email to Frank Chin:


November 30, 2018

Dear Frank,

Thank you so much for this email. As you know, I am one of the young professors who is not as old as the book but assigns it in far too many of the Asian American studies courses I teach here at Northwestern. In the Chinese American studies course I recently finished teaching, I assigned parts of it, as well as The Big Aiiieeeeee, for the students to adjudicate the fight you had with Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan. We worked down from what seemed to be contention about feminism and misogyny and down to the problem of Christianity in relation to the martial tradition. Next quarter, I will reprise my courses on Asian American religions, as well as Asian American social movements, and of course Aiiieeeee is an important text to consider in both.

In other words, I have taught it so many times that I have been unofficially known as the ‘Frank Chin’ guy. I don’t know how I feel about that because you always ask us to be critical, even of you, because what you wish for is criticism, not a kind of weasely sucking up to you. What’s more, as you know, I’m still a Christian.

I’m looking forward to all of this, and if there’s a chance I can come by and see you when it is republished, I’ll look forward to it.

Cheers,
Justin

Frank to Justin:

My beef with Mad Maxine Hong Kingston is she fakes her Chinese facts - Far Mulan of the BALLAD OF MULAN is not tattooed. Yue Fei, a man, born centuries and a dynasty after Mulan's publication, is known for his mother tattooing his back, to defy The Sun of Heaven's claim to exclusive rights to this life. His life is the Country's not the Commandant - take a walk along the the long corridor at the Ming Summer Palace outside of Peking - there's a panel of Mother Yue tattooing Yue Fei's back, and Yue's wife holding a candle to light mom's work.

Mad Max Hong Kingston's pitiful Chinese victim of woman-hating culture is not one of the Four Beauties, four concubines famous for Chinese kings using to seduce and dethrone enemy kings.

If anyone is a misogynist it's Max and her crybaby supporters, all White and all Christians. Max obviously hates women generals who modeled themselves on Mulan, Liang Hongyu, Mu Guiying, and Chen Liangyu

Prove your gripe is Chinese, you Christian you!

Keep your Christianity sheathed.

You draw your soul.

I draw out mine. Kingdoms rise and fall/ Nations cone go/ Its a good day to die. Let the good times roll /

You keep it sheathed.

I keep it sheathed.

In a word: Read!

If a new AA lit mag is the goal of the reprinting- start with Asian morals and ethics as Asian Americans read what is written. - Yellow Pre-history thru Yellow children's stories - For the AA Mag, get Gary Locke's official American word on the subject of Maxine Hong Kingston and the tattoos of Far Mulan and American-Chinese literature.

Justin to Frank:

December 1, 2018


Dear Frank,

Like Sun Wukong, my provocations have achieved their desired effects. I cannot leave your five-finger mountain, try as I might to fly to the ends of the earth on my big stick. I must reply before you trap me for five hundred years.

I always recount the conclusion of our meeting at the Panama to my classes. Those exposed to your work in my courses, especially in ‘Come All Ye Asian American Writers of the Real and the Fake,’ are often scared off by it, thinking you to be someone who requires them to toe the party line. I sometimes tell them that Frank knows that I am a Christian. They wonder how it is possible that we can even manage to have a conversation. It is then that I tell them what we discussed. What you desire is not agreement or compliance; in fact, it goes against all of those stories of righteousness that you tell – Ngawk Fei, the 108 outlaws on Leungshan, the sworn brothers Low Bay, Guan Yu, and Cheung Fei. What you want is a fight over the text. Criticism, you complain in the 1991 Aiiieeeee preface, is sorely lacking for much of Asian American literature. We are afraid to fight. Your words are thus like fire in my ears: sheathe the identity, draw your soul, read the text.

In this, I reflect on the question of party lines in Asian America. To speak in terms of ideology and partisanship seems to me to be the work of the jook sing, those who do not know and therefore must make stuff up. The mistake is to position your work, and the work in Aiiieeeee!, as an ideological faction in Asian America. Ideology, it seems to me, is the fantasy of the missionary. The martial forest, however, is not an ideological geography. It is the practice of righteousness and revenge.

Recently, Jin Yong died. He was a novelist based in Hong Kong much beloved by Chinese people around the world. He wrote stories of martial heroism, and his trilogy on the Condor Heroes is an extended meditation on Ngawk Fei, his ethic of righteousness, and his contempt for corruption. I grew up with these stories, along with the tales that my grandfather told me from the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West. I had thought about your statement in ‘Come All Ye’ about these stories circulating throughout Chinatown, and I just wanted to say that even for a suburban Christian kid like me, television, Chinese school, and grandparents mean that I too have no excuse. In my childhood, I understood Christianity to teach the same things as the Ngawk Fei kind of righteousness that you mention. It was not until junior high that I encountered a much more colonizing form of white evangelicalism that introduced me to the idea that I should pick between the two. In many ways, reading your work and having spoken with you rescued me from being a jook sing. You helped me to remember my childhood, and I must admit that I have spent more time than I care to admit recently re-watching the stories that I saw on television now on YouTube. My Cantonese is not as bad as I thought, and the more I watched, the deeper into the world I got. In fact, I found myself speaking more in Cantonese as a result recently.

My one regret in our correspondence is that I am so bad at writing back when you reply so quickly. It is so ‘mm ho yee see,’ which does not simply mean ‘sorry,’ but really refers to a ‘bad meaning/insight.’ Seeing the speed of your reply, I will try not to be so ‘mo yee hay,’ lacking in righteousness, in the future.

Dear Readers,

I received an email from Curtis Choy - he will be retiring his website by the end of the year. Please visit the site:

http://www.chonkmoonhunter.com

Frank Chin's blogsite here would not have been up had Curtis not suggested it and built v.1 for him. Please checkout Curtis' website and purchase his movies before they go away. Curtis made the feature-length documentary on Frank called What's Wrong With Frank Chin? and Dupont Guy: The Schiz of Grant Avenue, based on Frank's teachings. Furthermore, one of the top blog articles that gets the most hits in this blogsite is the interview with him here. When you read it, you'll see why it remains so popular.

TCG's Short Video on Frank Chin

The Theatre Communications Group interviewed Frank Chin for their "Legacy Leaders of Color" tribute videos.  It's quite entertaining and informative. Enjoy:

Viet Nguyen on Frank Chin

(photo of Viet Nguyen comes from NBC News)

In his critique of Wesley Yang's The Souls of Yellow Folk, Pulitzer-prize winning author Viet Nguyen mentioned Frank Chin...

This Asian-American legacy in politics and art is invisible to Yang, who does not even mention Frank Chin, the writer who most forcefully dealt with the agonies of Asian-American manhood. Chin, who connected racial emasculation to the treatment of Asian-Americans as objects of “racist love” (as opposed to the “racist hate” directed against African-Americans), argued that Asian-American writing had to be a form of fighting. Yang flails rather than fights, which suggests that there is something inadequate about the Asian-American legacy for him. He may not be alone. His neglect of historical forebears and his almost exclusive focus on the personal is indicative of a generational shift in Asian-American thinking; revolution is not very fashionable today.

ATTN: COMMITTEE OF 100

October 30, 2018

COMMITTEE OF 100
257 PARK AVENUE SOUTH, 19TH FLOOR
NEW YORK, 10010


Dear Anonymous Committee:


I'm Frank Chin, a Chinaman writer.  I recommend you acquire a copy of just released Nisei Naysayer (from Stanford U Press), by Art Hansen and James Omura - it is the life of Nisei journalist (the only non-JACL journalist and hence a JACL pariah thru WWII); edited by noted historian Art Hansen.  Hansen notes every reference Jimmie makes - Jimmie, Art Hansen, and others note my presence - in Jimmie Omura's and the Nisei story of 1939 to 1972.

One hundred what?  What are you?  Not Chinese or anything Chinese or vaguely Asian?  Certainly not a lobby group interested in the education of Asians born in the United States.  And absolute contempt for Chinese children's literature that takes Far Mulan from children's chant to adult Liang Hongyu who grows up studying Far Mulan, and riding the Yellow River watered country with Han Zhisong in the world of fact and literature.

White man FDR (President Roosevelt, the spokesman of American) is racist and wrong - no Nisei Americans Born in America bombs Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Clinton and Obama are white racially wrong to replace Chinese CIV with Maxine Hong Kingston's Cameron House lies about Yellow men and women.  (Generations of removing boys and girls has killed the taste of Yellows for Yellows).

Obama is the first Black Pres. of the United States built by the White man, of the White man, for the White man, who runs the government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

"That’s a dirty Yankee lie," Shane says in Shane.

And Jack Palance says, “PROVE IT.”

-PROVE IT ? –

Yellows have no Jack Palance. Yellows have no manhood. None at all. The Yellow men aren’t manly. Ask a Yellow woman. Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan. (Don’t forget Lisa See and White Mother Carolyn See, the wife of a Chinese who did her wrong, and writes about her life, becomes a critic on the L.A. Times, has a Chinese faking daughter with a million dollar book contract – who makes a fast buck on Vanity TV – million dollars later - today poof!).  There lives today only one Yellow with a Chinatown that helped him achieve office by office to Washington State Governor, twice. Then, higher and higher Clinton drafts Gary Locke to take the portfolio of Ambassador to China. The Chinese like him departmentally. If Gary Locke says FDR mucked the Japanese Americans up into Bettina Goering in Herman Goering forever – and Far Mulan is not tattooed, Maxine Hong Kingston’s version of Chinese CIV is false. Every American is morally obligated to read what was American history with the birth of George Washington in Virginia, and Lincoln’s birth in Kentucky. Will the President of the United States listen?

Gary Locke is the only Yellow to achieve the office by office Ambassordial Pres appointed high enough to be heard by the Pres. who appointed him.

I imagine that Gary Locke talks the US into dumping FDR’s stereotype of Japs, and dumping the JACL and the myth of Masaoka. He talks every White man to admit Whites like Maxine Hong Kingston’s White racist hate of everything and everyone Chinese better than real written Chinese children's songs and stories. White racists supported Kingston's white racist lies to please Pres. Clinton and Pres. Obama for fifty years in public schools before Kingston, Jade Snow Wong; and the first is Donaldina Chinatown's avenging angel attacking yellow man feeling up a frightened Yellow woman, and rescuing her, and keeping Chinese girls in Cameron House - The Ways of Ah-Sin, by Cameron House missionary become head of Chung Mei Home - where Chinese American boys born in America are taught to wear blackface sing for their captain, and dream of becoming President of China --

Once a Yellow man makes every White American gulp, look Yellows in the eye and clean themselves of the Masoaka- Kingston stink, and apologize that Yellow will have done the restored the honor of the first published, first edition of Wong Sam & Associates Chinese –English Phrase Book Wang Sam’s associates are translators for Chinese hauled into court – Publisher is Wells Fargo Express – 1872 -1879 - Once, is enough, but three times, Chinese style, would be nice.

That done, Yellows will be media equal with Blacks, Browns, Chicanos, Muslims, Native Americans, American Indians, Mexicans and all people under the sun and moon lucky enough to have color and a culture that goes with it.

PS: August 25th the day Asian America went belly up and Asian America doesn't know and doesn't care and doesn't live - the lives that don't have the morals and ethics to exist in the written world. I ask my people to out their art and they proudly have none. I ask my art to out my people. There are none. I ask the art of my neighbors to help me, spark art in my people, on August 25th. Whoo! I get stories of White racism vs Jews, Irish, Blacks, native peoples of America, north and south. Everyone stays in thrall of their own, selves and lit, and none of mine, history lessons are brag not help, I have read a history lesson- - that's why I ask - art , you bitch! Where are my people? The media of the world condenses into George. George is all that's left of media life of the Asian American voice and news George. Take it away, George. Oh, no. TV forgets George? George forgets the people as fans? Uhh, George? George? Text of lit and TV demands the appearance of George Takei as Mr Sulu, apologizing for the White Racist lies about Frank Emi, and Heart Mt. Fair Play Committee at Frank Emi's grave in Los Angeles, covered as news by Los Angeles local and network news camera crews.

PPS: PBS - Yan Can Cook – series on Chengdu, China, licks what is written and eaten and waters Chinese CIV from childhood to who knows where? Whew! Saved by the bell of the wok. Bong! Why Chengdu? Remember Li Bing, turning the summer floods on the Min int the fertile Chengdu plains? The Romance of the 3 Kingdoms? Remember Bertolt Brecht's Commie white racist classic that suckered AAS at UCLA founders Yuji Ichioka, Emily Gee , Russell Leong, THE GOOD WOMAN OF SETZUAN? REMEMBER WHAT IS WRITTEN AND WHO WROTE IT. What is written is still written. Stand up for the peoples text. Common text is a people's identity and reason for being. The common texts have crossed languages with the stories and philosophies reaching cross the land and sea to round the world. No text of any peoples conspires with the White Man against the people till 1849 and the Chinese become the Yellow Peril to White women at night in the White man's newspaper prose of 1889.

Anna May Wong to Constance Wu?

(Constance Wu)

(October 3, 2018) 10AM - The Hagfish McConnell more haggy than before - ornamented by a shiny well coiffed ornamental oriental - wife Elaine Chao goddess of a new white enterprise (ornaments for Summer) Crazy Rich Asians. About to come on view - here comes Constance Wu, the too old to know-nothing like five-year old Shirley Temple with a charming adult vocabulary she plays - Fresh Off the Boat - is Eddie Huang’s phrase? - wha’hap to David Henry Hwang’s F. O. B.? Season 5 of Fresh Off the Boat? - the new generation of Hollywood pets - remember Lucy Liu the ‘yellow beauty’ on the lawyer show whose glance leaves men shuddering. She has a new show on CBS now. Then there was Bai Ling as Michael Wincott’s evil sister in Brandon Lee’s last performance in the 1994 movie The Crow. And down down to an adult dumb as child actor five yr old Shirley Temple who talks like a big person. A long long long way down from Sessue Hayakawa coming back to Hollywood that had shit on him, to boost Anna May Wong to first billing and the first eye to eye lusty acting between electric yellows in 1930’s Daughter of the Dragon.

(Eddie Huang)

Why do Asian American scholars and movie makers and historians not ask why? Why, Hayakawa, a Jap, did what he did for a chink? Was he that anxious to press his Jap lips on her Chinese lillies that he agreed to return to the scene of his humiliation? Or was the anxiety in Anna May Wong’s Lips?

(Sessue Hayakawa and Anna May Wong)

The Bessie Loo’s deal with the devil of the movies MGM’s Irving Thalberg to play Chinese in the movie of Pearl Buck’s The Good Earth issued in 1937. From 1930 Sessue Hayakawa and Anna May Wong to 1968 Irene Tsu fighting off the lips of an uncredited yellow in the uniform of a North Viet officer, as Jack Soo’s kidnapped wife in the John Wayne directed movie The Green Berets.

Does Sessue Hayakawa’s lips ever seal a kiss with Anna May Wong’s luscious reds in Daughter of the Dragon? One must see the movie, a picture is worth a thousand words, says the paper in the fortune cookie.

Why do yellows tell the white man’s story of Yellow America, and none of their own Yellow stories of Yellows around the world to America? In 1999, does President Clinton have reasons other than the literary cultural anthropological accomplishments of Maxine Hong Kingston in creative writing in mind, when he awards her his President’s humanities medal? Does the President have Chinese-American advisers at the time of his decision? Advisors in Chinese literature? The Chinese know the Chinese lit Americans know/ Thanks to John Service of Wild Bill Donovan’s OSS/ But the Americans don’t know the White American lit out in the world of what is written.

The Japanese are right. The Chinese originality ran out with the Manchu Qing Dynasty in 1911. New ideas in the mold of Confucius brewed and wormed in Japanese soil where it grows into Japanese who knows what?

In America the Japs are taken over the self-contempt and dependence on inferior Yellows and express themselves in ornamental contentless consciously faceless art of nothing for 150 years. Our cowardly devotion to white racism is proved in our lack of art. Thanks for nothing FDR, Clinton, Obama, Trump and all the Yellow Ornaments.

STRANGER,

I’m asking you, a White man’s neighborhood paper to publish my Yellow scold, of my own Yellow people. Who seem to have forgotten the operatic sixties brought by the Chows. Ruby the obvious with her showpiece puffy high hair, the front of Ruby Chow’s Chinese Cuisine, and Ping Chow, the opera man, cooking in the kitchen.

Maybe the Yellows asked by a Stranger will tell you the truth of what’ what.

I ask you to ask Ambassador Gary Locke, former Gov of Washington if the children’s chant heroine was tattooed, as Maxine Hong Kingston asserts in THE WOMAN WARRIOR.

I want you to ask the Asian American Studies Dept at U W their reaction to Pres Clinton’s awarding Maxine Hong Kingston, his Humanities Medal, amd a years later, Pres Obama, gives her his Arts medal. Does Kingston deserve beging honored above the texts of Chinese lit?

I want you to talk to George Takei about his knowledge and experience with James Matsumoto Omura , a journalist born on Bainbridge Island.

Stanford U Press is releasing the first , and only book by Dr Arthur Hansen the White man, everybody trusts, on the life of James Omura, in his own words. James Omura who was made out as a dupe of Japs in camp to sabotague the JACL program of patriotic co-opeation with the gov. Meaning, kiss my JACL ass, you Jap you.


George Takei, is the only Japanese-American on the White air of American news in sight taling about the 10 wartime concentration camps for 10,000 Jap souls each. George though his ultra vocabulary silly powers manages to please all sides and rise superior as the Admiral he’s become in his world of tv and holiday comicon.

August 25, a Saturday at the Japanese American National Museum, taken over by the Japanese gov of Japan, with George Takei on the Board, hosts the release of NISEI NAYSAYER, at 2: pm.

Will the artists, not the people, but the artists of the people, show up?

COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS ARE THE LITERATURE OF THE RULING GENERATION OF YELLOW NEWS PEOPLE TALK OF THEIR TARGETS OR EXAMPLES IN TERMS OF BATMAN AND SUPERMAN, NOT SHAKESPEARE AND DOSTOYEVSKY. HAMLET WHO’S HAMLET, DO YOU LIKE, BECOMES WHO'S GOOD LOOKING AND PITIFUL, MARLON BRANDO OR JAMES DEAN OF THE DAY? TV SHOWS ARE WHAT MOVIES USED TO BE WHAT THE RADIO USED TO BE WHAT BOOKS USED TO BE.

CHARLIE CHAN IS A BELOVED HOLLYWOOD EMBARRASSMENT, TRYING TO MAKE GOOD AS WHITE NOSTALGIA FOR A TASTE OF WHITE MEN PLAYING EFFEMINATE CHINESE.

GEORGE IS THE COLORED YELLOW RETOO PERFECTLY RACELESS , CULTURELES, ANONYMOUS SLAVE. YELLOW RETOOLED BY MAD DR SHOTARO FRANK MIYAMOTO’S SOCIOLOGICAL WHITE RACIST WIPEPOUT OF ALL ASIAN MEMORY REPLACED BY ADULATION OF YELLOW NEWSIES LIKE RICHARD LUI, OF MSNBC . IN THE 21ST CENTURY. GEORGE TAKEI TELLING THE HISTORY OF HOW HIS NAME BECOMES THE JAP WHO’S EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING LOVED BY WHITE TV. NO AGE OF SESSUE HAYAKAWA & ANNA MAY WONG, NO “AND THE SOUL SHALL DANCE,” BY WAKAKO YAMAUCHI, DIRECTED BY MAKO, AND SET DESIGN AND PAINTING BY MAKO’S FATHER, THE FAUVRE PAINTER AND AUTHOR, TARO YASHIMA. AS THE DEFINITIVE NISEI ENTERTAINER, GEORGE TAKEI BRINGS HIMSELF, BUT NOT HIS PEOPLE, AS ACTORS CONRAD VEIDT AND PETER LORRE, WRITERS ERICH AMBLER, BERTOLT BRECHT, DIRECTORS FRITZ LANG, MAX REINHARDT WORKING TOGETHER TO DEFEND THE HUMANITY OF GERMAN CULTURE AGAINST THE ENFORCED MYTH OF THE NAZI FOURTH REICH OF GOERING’S 1935 NUREMBURG LAWS DEHUMANIZING JEWS AND GYPSIES.

GEORGE IS THE LONE SPANISH SPEAKING COLORED ENTERTAINER TALKING TO HIS FANS AGAINST THE WAR IN IRAQ. LT EHER’IN WATADA’S, STAND AGAINST ORDERS TO DEPLOY TO IRAQ FAILED TO ROUSE THE JAPANESE AMERICANS. THE MOVEMENT WATADA STIMULATED WAS AMONG VETS, WHITE AND BLACK. THE BLACKS WHO MADE THE DOCUMENTARY ON EHEREN WATADA , HAD NO JAPANESE COMMUNITY SUPPORT. NOT A JAP IN SIGHT. WHO SCARED THE JAPS SILENT AND OUT OF SIGHT?

HOLLYWOOD ORIENTALS COMPETING FOR APPEARING ORNAMENTAL TO THE WHITE MEN WHO KEEP HOLLYWOOD RUN BY WHITE MEN.

THE YELLOWS HAVE A LIT HISTORY THAT STARTS WRITING BEFORE THE WHITE MAN ARRIVES IN AMERICA AND CONTINUES INTO 18TH CENTURY, 19TH CENTURY WHITE, LIT THAT SUDDENLY TAKES CHARGE OF THE LANGUAGE AND LIT OF THEIR STUPID COLONY CONTROLLED BY WHITE GUNS.

THE WHITE MAN DOESN’T CARE. HE’S RELIGIOUSLY WHITE RACIST. I UNDERSTAND. WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND IS HOW PROUD THE YELLOWS – MY PEOPLE – HOW PROUD THEY ARE OF HATING THEMSELVES TO LITERARY LITERATE WELL READ EXTINCTION, GEORGE TAKEI BRAGGING ABOUT HIS OBLITERATION OF YELLOW STEREOTYPES BECOMES OBVIOUS TO ME, WHEN HE CLAIMS TO HAVE PLAYED FRED THE TOURIST GUIDE, ON STAGE. RANDALL DUK KIM CREATES THE ROLE OF FRED, ON STAGE, NOT GEORGE TAKEI. RANDALL DUK KIM REFUSES TO DO TV, AND THE PART GOES OUT TO OPEN CALL. GEORGE TAKEI REALLY WANTS THE PART. HE IMPRESSES WITH HIS AUDITION, AND HE’S A PAIN IN THE ASS STAR, WITH STORIES ABOUT HIMSELF, FROM THEN ON.

He is the Comicon universe as the only Asian in showbiz. He should be Hollywood’s 21st Century developmment of CHARLIE CHAN. THE ASSIMILATED YELLOW IS THE FIRST YELLOW TO PLAY CHARLIE CHAN.

JAMES BOND WILL BE PLAYED BY A BLACK, BEFORE HOLLYWOOD STOPS STINK EYE THE CHINESE, AND LAUGH FOR ALL TIME AT THE WADDLE AND GIGGLE.

WHY HAVEN’T ONE OF THE MANY YELLOWS MAKING MOVIES WITH SUBJECTIVE VIDEOGRAPHY, TAKEN THE ADVICE OF SUN TZU, AND USED THE STRATEGY OF CHARLIE CHAN AGAINST THE WHITES? A WHITE ACTOR WHO PLAYED, CHARLIE CHAN, AND THE STUPIDITY OF THE SCRIPTS AND DIRECTION DROVE HIM TO DRINK. AT THE END OF HIS CHARLIE CHAN, HE REALIZES, HIS CHAN WAS LIKE HAMLET, CHAN FASLIFIED HIS MOTHER, HIS FATHER, HIS SONS, HIS UNCLE, THE CHINESE RACE BRINGING DOWN CHINA METAPHORED AS DENMARK., IN A NARCISSIST’S SNIT. HAMLET MIGHT HAVE NOT KNOWN WHAT HE WAS DOING, BUT THE WHITE MAN WHO PLAYED CHARLIE CHAN KNOWS WHAT HE HAS DONE.

GEORGE TAKEI IS WRONG FOR CHARLIE CHAN, BUT RIGHT FOR THE LATEST NUMBERED SON.

THE ‘’’YELLOW CHARACTER WHO STARTS AND ENDS THE STORY, I LEAVE TO THE YELLOWS TO DECIDE THE SEX, THE HIRED DETECTIVE?


THE DOCTOR? THE INNOCENT BYSTANDER? THE VILLAIN MORE VILLANOUS?

SAY AN ASIAN-AMERICAN PUBLISHING CO WITH HEADQURATERS IN NEW YORK, PUTS UP THE MONEY TO DO ART HANSEN’S BOOK AS A DRAMATIC MOVIE? WHO ARE YOU GOING TO GET TO PLAY ISSEI AND NISEI OF THE 1930’S AND 40’S AMERICA? THE YELLOWS OF TODAY DON’T HAVE THE BALLS AND DON’T TO KNOW WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW OF THEIR GRANDFATHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS DAYTO DAY.

WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CAST IN THE ROLE OF JIMMIE OMURA?

IT’S BEEN A HARD ROAD, BUT THE JACL SELF CONTEMPT HAS FREED THE PEOPLE OF A PARIAH PAST. – THE PEOPLE ARE FREE OF SEVENTY FIVE EIGHTY YEARS OF HATING ONESELF BECAUSE THE WHITES TOLD MIKE MASAKOA OF THE JACL IT WAS THE PATRIOTIC, RIGHT AND CHISTIAN WHITE THING TO DO, YOU JAP YOU.

My shouting makes me feel good. I feel like I’ m saying the obvious, the truth, and the last word on a subject. “You have just proved you are a White racist.” All aftertalk is an excuse to avoid the fact that a Yellow who knows has just accused a White of being a White racist in front of White’s in charge. It’s up to the accused Whites to answer. Not us to swallow what we have just said as merely a personal opinion. I’m a writer, Betty’s a teacher, what we say in public is our public opinion backed by facts. I might like Three Kingdoms as a story. But when I teach it, I teach the content and discuss the style and how it works, the same way teachers teach the US Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Constitution. “The government rules with the consent of people.” The gov does not have Yellow consent to make Maxine Hong Kingston’s WOMAN WARRIOR, official US literary cultural artistic policy.

I want to stimulate a real reaction from the artists to of my people, who feel what I feel with cheer and enthusiasm. I get it from the Indians from South Africa, who are organized, against the oppression of South Africa. I get a reaction from China who invites me to China with treachery shining in their smiling eyes. Who am I to say the Chinese gov are Walt Disney , not Chinese? I’m a Chinaman. My sense of China begins with the line . China, itself says it’s not the same old country in the new 19th century, and Chinese moral valiues’ and the culture goes through the 19th and 20th centuries and wrenching modernization, revision, reform and revolution , Walt Disney replaces the 12 animals of the Lunar Zodiac, with 12 Disney animal characters at the largest Disneyland in the world. 120 factories around Shanghai have stopped pouring stuff that turns the sky, other than Disney blue over Disneyland Shanghai. It is written by my people...

EVERY ONE, AND ALL WRITING ON CHINESE HISTORY BEGINS WITHVERIFICATION OF SIMA CHEN’S JOURNALISTS TECHNQUES TO WRITE “SHUCHING (BOOK OF HISTORY).

SOONG CHING LING WRITES OF AN ALL WOMAN OPERA COMPANY OF HAINAN , AN ISLAND LIKENED, SOUTH OF KWANGTUNG, WITH BEACHES AND CLIMATE LIKENED TO HAWII. ALL THE MEN ARE GONE TO FIGHT THE JAPANESE IN THE EARLY 1930’S. OPERA IS A FOLK FORM OF CONSUMING AND DIGESTING THE GROWELS AND GRUNTS CLOSER TO THE TRUTH. MEANTIME SIMA CHEN WRITES THE WITNESS ACCOUNTS OF THE WHO, WHAT, WHERE, AND HOW , FACT BY FACT EVER CLOSER TO THE TIME OFCHINESE CONTROL OF THE WRITTEN WORD GOES GIDDY AFTER THE MONGOLS ARE OUT AND THE MING IS IN.

SIMA CHEN SUFFERS THE HUMILIATION OF HAVING HIS BALLS SMASHED TO MUSH BY THE CLAPPING OF IMPERIAL ROCKS, TO WRITE HIS HISTORY

AS HIS EVIDENCE SAYS, AND NOT THE EMPEROR. WE, THE CHILDREN OFTHE MAN WHO STAKED HIS UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT’S WHAT ON MAN’S WORDS REACHING FOR THE EFFECT OF FACT.

WE THE ARTISTS , ARTISANS, CRAZIES AND CRIMINALS OF OUR PEOPLE , WHO WON’T OR CAN’T (FOR SOME PHONEY REASON) GIVE UP , JUST GIVEUP. SAY YOU’RE SOMETHING ELSE.

FUCKASS NO! THE 108 CHINESE WHO FIGHT FOR THE MAN THAT RULES THE CHINA OF THE 108 OUTLAWS OF LIANGSHAN MARSH, WHERE THE YELLOW RIVER SLOWS AND STOPS BUT STILL MAKES ITS YELLOW WAY TO THE SEA, UNTIL HIS ARCHER PRESENTS HIM WITH GEESE HE SHOT TOCHEER SONNG GONG, BUT THE MAN WHO SHOULD RULE CHINA SAYS, “WHEN YOU SHOOT DOWN ONE OF THESE NOBLE BIRDS, YOU SHOOT DOWN ONE OF US.” FOLLOWED BY NG BROTHERS, ASKING SOONG GONG’SPERMISSION TO LEAVE THE BAND. THEY WILL FIGHT FOR HIM, BUT NOTFOR ANY ACCOMODATION OF THE EMPEROR.

THE NGS GIVE THE ARTIST, THE ARTISANS, THE CRAZES AND CRIMINALSINSISTANCE OF THEIR CHINA BEING IDENTIFIED IN THE SIMPLE CONFUCIAN CIV AND THE STRATEGY FOR ESTABLISHING AND KEEPING CIVIL AND MILITARY INTEGRITY.

Qi Shu Fang JUMPED SHIP WITH HER HUSBAND AND OLD OPERA HISTORY IN HER VEINS. I’D LIKE TO START AT THE BEGINNING WITH PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE OPERA, AND THE PEOPLE WHOVALUE THE OPERA, THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IT – CARIDAD AMARIN, THE CUBAN STEPDAUGHTER OF HER OPERA TEACHER, IN HER 80’S TAKING HER OPERAS HOME TO HER STEPFATHER’S CHINA, THANKS TO U OF KANSAS PROF EMERITUS, POK CHILAU, AND QI’S COMPANY, STILL MEETING IN A MEET OF THE PEOPLE WHO STUDY IT.

FOR ME, I’D LIKE TO LEARN THE DRUMMING OF THE BANDLEADER -I MIGHT LISTEN BACK TO THE MARKED DAUGHTER OF LEONG SHING POR, THE OPERA STAR RUBY MOST ADMIRED AS “THE CHINESE BOB HOPE” WALKING UP TO THE DEAF BANDLEADER WEARING TWO HEARING AIDS, ANDSAYING BY HER OPERATC PRESENCE, WHAT PING CHOW WAS WHISPERING FROM THE STAGE, “YOU’RE OUT OF RHYTHM!”

Qi Shu Fang was central in that movement. During the Cultural Revolution, at age 18 she was picked by Madame Jiang Qing, Chairman Mao's wife, to play the female lead in one of the eight national "model operas." Overnight, she became a sensation throughout China.

Qi Shu Fang won first prize in a competition for rising actors, then garnered praise fromthe master female impersonator Mei Lan-Fang for her performance in Fighting Thrice Against Chang Yeuh Wo. Her performance in the Flaming Phoenix won acclaim at Hamburg's International Drama Festival, and she is a favorite performer in Japan.

THAT SHE COULD CREATE NEW MOVES FOR NEW PURPOSES ON ORDERS FROM JIANG QING, SAYS NEW STORIES CAN BE TOLD WITH OLD CHARACTERS TAKING TO NEW GROUNDS. SHE HAS APPEARED AT INSTRUCTIONAL WORKSHOPS BEFORE THE SCHOOLS OF NEW YORK. SHE AND HER COMPANY THIRST TO EDUCATE THEIR HISTORY. THEY MUST TEACH!

RUBY CHOW AND PING CHOW MUST LEARN AND LEARN.

THE FULL REPETOIRE OF THE BAND LEADER – DRUM AND GONG MASTER  - (MASCULINE-MILITARY-THE HEARTBEAT -) STRINGS – FEMININE – THE VOICE OF THE HEART-SHARED –OLD SEEDS – NEW GROUND.

WHEN THE LION TEAM IS A PART OF CHINATOWN AND UNDERSTANDS THE MUSIC AND THE DRUM ON SATURDAY MORNINGS-OR CHILDREN’S DAY SO WHAT CHILDREN’S DAY IS CHINESE.

IN DR. KYO KOIKE’S DAY, THE LUNAR DAY IS THE SAME DAY AS JAPANESE BOY’S DAY. DR. KYO KOIKI WOULD CHANGE FROM BOYS DAY (MARTIAL) AND GIRLS DAY (SUBSERVIENTS) ON ANOTHER DAY, TO CHILDREN’S DAY WITHOUT THE UNI-SEX MEANINGS IMPOSED BY STUPID WHITE PHILOSPHY. MUCH LESS THE JAP VS CHINK QUARRALS OVER THE INEVITABLE MEETINGS OVER A YELLOW BRIDE OF THE OTHER YELLOW KNOWN BY WHITES TO HATE EACH OTHER LIKE FIGHTING COCKS. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TWO SETS OF MIDWIVES SHOW UP TO DELIVER THE BABY OF A CHINESE LADY MARRIED (DON’T ASK) TO JAPANESE OF THE EARTH IN, SAY 1914 .

INSTEAD OF SOLOMON, TRICKING LOVE (HIS JUDGEMENT) TWO WOMEN CLAIMING MOTHERHOOD OVER A NEWBORN BABY, SEATTLE HAS JAPANESE AND CHINESE GIVEN THEIR PEOPLES RIGHTS TO DELIVER ONE OF THEIR PEOPLE’S BABIES. WHO CLAIMS A VICTORY IN SUCH MEETS OF EERYBODY’S RIGHT?

ONLY IN SEATTLE.

DR. KYO KOIKE HAS A VISION OF OLD SEEDS PLANTED IN NEW SOIL HE MEDICAL DOCS WHERE DOCS WHO TOUCH YELLOWS ARE OUTLAWED, HE WRITES, HE PHOTOGRAPHS, HE ARGUES IN MAGAZINES AND 20TH CENTURY ART SOCIETIES. THE OLD IDEAS OF WHAT’S WHAT’. OLD, LIKE OLD COUNTY COOKING TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FACED WITH NEW INGREDIENTS WITH. NEW ANIMALS, PLANTS, FISH AND FOWL, COOKS AND CREATES FOODS THAT NEVER EXISTED BEFORE CHINESE AMERICA MADE CHOP SUEY, LEFTOVERS IN CHINESE, A FOOD, FOR WHITE TASTES, AND FORTUNE COOKIES A FOOD MADE FOR WHITE TASTES, OR THE “AMERICAN FOOD” OF AMERICAN AND CHINESE FOOD RESTAURANTS. THERE IS JOE JUNG’S FRIED CHICKEN, IN SAN FRANCISCO, AND PLACES AROUND TOWN WHERE, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SIZZLES LUSCOUSLY, DRAWS TERRIFIED EYES OUT AND DROOL INTO THE MOUTH.

THEN THERE’S THE FOOD COOKED BY CHINESE DISHWASHER – THE TONGMAN – FOR THE CHINESE HELP, AFTER THE SHOP CLOSES FOR THE DAY. THE OWNER OR THE AUTHORITY OF THE PLACE, IN THIS CASE, MY MOTHER, ALWAYS TAKES SUPPER WITH THE HELP. SHE HAS ME SERVE AS THE DISHWASHER’S ASST. TILL HE PUTS HIS APRON IN THE LAUNDRYBAG, AND HANGS A FRESH APRON ON A HOOK IN THE POTATO STORE ROOM, WHERE HE SMOKED HIS BAMBOO WATERPIPE, SPENT AN HOUR WITH CHINESE GIRLIE MAGS. THIS WAS THE TELEPHONE BOOTH WHERE THE DISHWASHER TRANSFORMS INTO THE HATCHETMAN HE WAS, AND TASTEFULLY STAYS THERE.

HOW DO I KNOW THE DISHWASHER IS A RETIRED TONGMAN? YEARS LATER I LEARN OF A TONGMAN’S DIGNITY. WHATEVER THAT IS EXACTLY? HE ASKS MY MOTHER’S PERMISSION TO HAVE ME TOUCH HIM, BEAT HIS BONES, DUP GWUT. LIFTING BASKETS OF DISHES IN AND OUT OF THE WASHER WEARS OUT HIS BACK. HE HAS A WAY OF ASSURING HER HE’S A MAN OF DIGNITY.

A LOT A BIG LOT OF YELLOW NEWS HAS NOT BEEN BROKEN ON THE WHITE MEDIA DAILIES ON THE AIR, IN PRINT, AND NOT BEEN COUNTED IN WHITE HISTORY OF WHITES WIPING OUT MALE ORIENTED YELLOW CULTURE, TREATED THEM FOR GENERATIONS OF “ACCULTURATION” AND BLANKED NOSTALGIA AND MEMORY OF THE OLD, AND CLEANED A SLATE FOR PURE 100% WHITE AMERICAN THINKING, THAT’S PROVED BY WHAT ONE DOESN’T KNOW.

ALL NEWS, ALL HISTORY IS SUMMED UP IN CHARLIE CHAN / FU MANCHU RIOTOUSLY OVERPLAYED FOR WHITES, BY WHITE ACTORS WARNER OLAND AND BORIS KARLOFF TO SIGNAL WHITES SEE YELLOWS AS A CARTOONS -GEORGE TAKEI DEPENDS ON HIS TV CHARACTER AND HIS ODD INSISTENCE ON A PERSONAL FUED WITH WILLIAM SHATNER. WILLIAM SHATNER FAMOUS FOR HIS LOVE OF HIS CLOSEUP OVER YOURS, GEORGE TAKEI LEADS THE CREW OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE, TO REVOLT AGAINST CAPT KIRK.

“WHO’S BRAD?” WILLIAM SHATNER, THE LOVABLE TV ASSHOLE ASKS FROM THE PRESENT. GEORGE IS PRODUCING AN EXTENDED CARTOON VERSION OF STAR TREK, WITH HIS HUSBAND BRAD SMILING, FROM THE REAL WORLD AND GIVING THE SPOCK HANDSIGN FOR PEACE AND PROSPERITY. IS REAL BRAD IN THE CARTOON OF STAR TREK?

GEORGE TAKEI STEALING THE HANDSIGN FROM LEONARD NIMOY SPLITS THE FANS OF STAR TREK.

GEORGE TAKEI’S FANS ARE SUMMERTIME VACATION FANTACISTS FROM THE FESTIVALS OF COMIC BOOK FUCK ALL, HOLIDAY. THE MOOD OF THE MARDIS GRAS AROUND THE WORLD. FANTASY AND FUN BEFORE THE SEASON OF ISOLATION, CONTEMPLATION, GUILT.

I CAN’T MAKE THE WALK UP THE PANAMA. I TAKE A SEAT IN HING HAY PARK TO CONTEMPLATE IN THE BEATING HEAT OF A SUMMER MORNING. THE PARK HAS A FILIPINO END, BUILT ON THE TEARDOWN OF THE POST OFFICE, AND THE CHINESE END.

THE LOUD OBJECTION TO THE YIN/YANG CIRCLE WITH DOTS, BEING THE SYMBOL OF THE PARK, BECAUSE THE SYMBOL IS CHINESE, AND NOT INCLUSIVE. HOT DAY. THE MOVE OF THE SUN MOVES ME TO CHASE THE SHADE. THE YIN IS YOU, AND THE YANG IS ME, AND THE DOTS ARE BABIES, MAKES THREE. ERR, FOUR. THE SYMBOL IS TAOIST. THE TAO IS NOT A RELIGION, BUT A WAY OF THINKING. THE TAO IS THE ROAD. THE YIN/ YANG IS THE FLAG OF KOREA. THE HISTORY OF ASIA IS WRITTEN AND DRAWN AS ONE WORD BECOMING MORE KOREAN, MORE JAPANESE, MORE AMERICAN. AS THE CHINESE ADAPTS TO AMERICA, THE AMERICAN IS FREE TO CHINESE AS HE PLEASES, BECAUSE THE U.S. CONSTITUTION TELLS HIM SO. THE YIN/ YANG SYMBOL IS THE GOLDEN DRAGON LEAPING FOR AND GOLDEN PHOENIX PLUNGING TOWARD THE DRAGON, WITH THE CIRCULER CHARACTER FOR WEDDING BETWEEN THEM. ON THE BACKWALL OF SERIOUS RESTAURANT. THE DRAGON AND PHOENIX ON THE BACKWALL OF OCEAN CITY IS GORGEOUS WHEN VIEWED OVER A HUGE ROOM FULL OF FAMILIES MUNCHING AT TABLES SET WITH A SMALL DISH OF RED CHILI KETCHUP AND BLACK HOISIN OR YELLOW MUSTARD., TO USE AS A DIP. SYMBOLIC ENACTMENTS OF THE YIN/YANG IN FOOD AND PICTURE IS WORTH WORDS.

AN OLD MAN SITS IN THE COOL MARBLE PAVILION CHIANG KAI SHEK GAVE TO RUBY CHOW, AND RUBY BUILT HING HAY PARK FOR KIDS. THERE ARE A SPLURGE OF KIDS IN HER DAY. THE OLD MAN UNPACKS A BEAT UP CHINESE FIDDLE, AN ER HU. OUT OF A WOODEN CASE WITH CUSHIONED COMPARTMENTS.

WITHOUT A SOUND FROM HIS FIDDLE, HE GATHERS A CROWD OF THREE, MOVING HOT CHAIRS INTO THE SHADE.

CAN A DANCING LION FALL IN LOVE WITH AN ER HU AND NOT A DRUM? DOES SEATTLE HAVE LIONS WITH MALE HORNS TOPPING THEIR MALE HEADS, AND FEMALE BIRDS TOPPING THE HEADS OF FEMALE DANCING LIONS? CAN THEY DANCE A LIONESQUE TAKE ON

MEATLOAF’S “PARDISE BY A DASHBOARD LIGHT?” -AN AMERICAN TAKE ON THE LION AND LOVE AND MUSIC-FOR KIDS THAT ENDS WITH THE BIRTH OF LITTLE LION “BORN IN AMERICA –MAY SANG –ON A SATURDAY. PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE PRESENTATIONS , SAY TWENTY MIN – AND MAKE THE STORY, A COMPETITION -BETWEEN THREE KUNG FU SCHOOLS

IF YOU HAVE THE LION DANCE WITH IT’S SHADOWS THROWN HIGH AGAINST THE THREE STORY HIGH BRICK WALL , BY ELECTRIC FIRE CRACKERS WOULD BE SENSATIONAL, ADD FIGHTING DRAGONS AND ELECTRIC FIRECRACKERS AGAINST THE BRICK WALL BEHIND CHONG WA.

YOU HAVE THE SEASON OF THE LION AT NEW YEARS – THE LION VISITS SHOPS AND COLLECTS DONATIONS THE LIONS OF CHINATOWN CAN BE A COMMUNITY DRAW AND TOURIST ATTRACTION.

BUT THE CHINATOWN THAT KNOWST THE ART I’M TALKING ABOUT, HAVE THE WHITE ENFORCED REASON OF WHITE TV AND NEWSPAPER NEWS NOT TO KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.

HEY, STRANGER. I NEED A FRIENDLY EAR.

STRANGER: I’M NOBODY’S FRIEND.

A FAKE FRIEND WILL DO.

STRANGER: TALK AWAY, FRIEND.

OLD TIMER: Pho Hua – clean-run by a family for Vietnam-kid playing games on a handphone – I make a face and he hides behind the decorative barrier hiding the restrooms. He makes a sound and hides under the table. I ask, “What do hear? A cow? A chicken?” He moos. He buck bucks. “What did I hear? A pigeon? A worm? Maybe a squirrel?” His mother comes out of the kitchen to police the scene, The dad comes out to listen and tell the boy to calm down. I never touch the kid. I enjoy my noodles. He walks by and give a slight fist to my upper arm. The parents seem to enjoy the scene. I pay up and I realize the kids been calling me “grandpa.” They all say bye to grandpa.

THE STRANGER: Really?

OLD TIMER: Seattle Chinatown has kids ripe for live storytelling.

THE STRANGER: : RIPE FOR STORYELLING?

OLD TIMER: ‘In Frisco in the fiftes and 60’s there was Dr, Mah Ton and his ugy dog costumed to be the animal of the year, and Dancing Blind, who waves a blindman’s white cane with a red tip and shouts “Get out of the way!” in Cantonese. At night the Chinatown Fiddler appear on the steps of the symbol of the bank that projected the singing of the fiddle into the narrow Grant Street, I’m ashamed to admit it, but I crave a steak. But I can’t eat a whole juiceys sizzling tempting steak. I crave uni, but only the snobby high class place has uni.

I wish Betty would give up what we were taught to say when teacher teaches Cinderella. “Chinese invented Cinderella, and the French copied.” The French jump to defend Cinderella coming from fireplace “cinders” being cleaned by a lowdown “ella.” Betty ends the argument with a bandage. We’re just like you, White man.

She could have pushed a little harder, with, North Korea , has turned Confucius’s five virtures into five variations of Cinderella before the Chinese. Chunyang, A woman shows loyalty to the prince that fell in love and married her, and in the end rescues and rewards her loyalty with love, Shim Chang, a woman shows filial piety by paying the price of her life to make her blind father see the sunshine, after unspeakable suffering the sympathic Sea God rescues her, a Prince falls in love, and invites every blind man in his kingdom. The father comes is struck with sight, recognizes his daughter and is adopted by the Prince. The other three virtues are likewise emphasizing the courage, the discipline Confucius says are qualities of animals.

In the Chinese THE WATER MARGIN, soong Gong leads the 108 outlws he’s tranined and ogranized, away from a humiliating defeat. The Archer seeks to please his leader with a brace of ducks, Soong Gong tells the Archer he’s killed the bird of five virtues. “If a duck falls behind, all the ducks slow keeping in the flight, that is discipline.” It’s beautiful speech. “When you bring down one of these noble birds you bring down one of us.” The Archer thanks his boss for the dressing down.

I thought artists, longtime Collieforn all over the latter day West in the United States. Come with us as we hear the thundering hooobeats the great horse Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. “Hi Yo Silver, awayy.” Into our childhoods. The Lone Ranger. The 108 Outlaws of the Marsh. The Japanese hero Yoshitsune from the first first historical romance invented by Lady Murasaki, THE TALE OF GENJI, that opens with a warning precis of the Chinese Yang Kuei Fei seduction of Tang Emperor Huizang, the fall of the Tang (for fifteen years of Madame Wu’s interruregnum). A warning of womans beauty turning men’s heads again and again in THE TALE OF GENJI, that gives the world Yoshitsune angelic samurai and his brother moved to plot for power on the advice of his warrior wife and more power Yoshizume. Angelic Yoshitsune has a bride of the woods. They meet playing the flute and discover they harmonize. Confucius talked of harmonizing all sorts of noisemaking things.

Li Po walked along the shores of the Dismal River , the river swept clear of monster beasts by How Yur.

THE STRANGER: LI PO. The drunken Poet?

HE OFFENDS THE TANG EMPEROR’S FAVORITE CONCUBINE, THE THE EMPEROR SENDS HIM TO HUNAN – THE HELL ON EARTH, of the Empire. Li Po drinks and walks the villages along the Dismal river, the Archer left behind by Serng Ngo, the Moon Goddess, The doomed to die a mortal, works his way to Dongting Lake where he killed flying fish that had a season of human babies, and lakemonsters unimaginable today.

There’s a long handroll painting of the sound of bell resonating the length of the river to the becoming of silence.

THE STRANGER: : A PAINTING LONGER THAN THE TONE OF A BELL?

OLD TIMER: SOUNDS CRAZY DOESN’T IT?

ROGER GRANDSON-TO PANAMA HOTEL-GET GRANDPA –HE’S IN HIS ROOM WAITING FOR HIS BRIDE – “ROGER, I’M WAITING FOR YOUR GRANDMOTHER TOKU.”

A SIMILAR WRAP AND WARP OF TIME OCCURS IN THE WU CHENG EN ADDENDUM TO THE CHAPTERS OF MONKEY, WHERE MONKEY BECOMES THE KING OF ALL HELL OF ALL TIME .

THE STRANGER: : THE SAME MONKEY AS MONKEY THE MISHIEF MAKER?

OLDER TIMER: THE SAME MONKEY AS THE MONKEY WHO TAKES MONKEY’S JOURNEY TO THE WEST , OCCURS IN THE TANG (618-907) THE ANARCHIST MONKEY, TAKES CHARGE OF HELL, AND CALLS THE TREACHEROUS PRIME MINISTER OF THE SOUTHERN SONG , FROM A T’IME THAT HASN’T HAPPENED YET (1127-1279). MONKEY SUMMONS THE GHOST OF YUE FEI , TO TEA AND TIDBITS, WHILE ENJOYING THE ENDLESS TORTURE OF THE PRIME MINISTER WHO WILL STARVE AND AND MURDER YUE FEI .

YUE FEI , UNIFIED THE _3 KINGDOMS (OATHS-DEDICATION OF EXTRA ORDINARY MEN, WHO RECOGNIZE THEIR KINSHIP ON SIGHT OF EACH OTHER . IT’S CONFUCIUS VISION OF FAMILY DRAMATIZED – OPERA – THEN THE SECOND NOVEL. -INTO THE TRIAD OF EARTH-MAN –HEAVEN ) THE WATER MARG’IN (OATHS DEVELOP INTO ALLIANCES – OR UNIONS AND GUILDS OF PROFESSIONS (36 – HEAVENLY SPIRITS) AND TRADES (72 -EARTHLY FIENDS) THE 108 LOOK ON “THE TIMELY RAIN” AS THE MAN WHO WAS GOOD AT EVERYTHING BUT WAS NOT JEALOUS OF ANYONE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE OR TALENTED THAN SOONG GONG. SOONG GONG, IS THE MAN WITH THE MORAL CHARISMA OR MORAL SENSE TO COMMAND THE TRUST OF THOSE WHO TRUST HIM. THE PROOF OF THAT IS FAMILY PRINCESS IN LOVE WITH STUMPY TIGER WHO’S SKILL IS THROWING STONES FROM FOOT OR HORSEBACK WITH DEADLY ACCURACY, WHO LOVES THE PRINCESS. THEY GO TO SOONG GONG TO BLESS THEIR WEDDING. THAT’S THE FLAW IN HIS CHARACTER THAT PREVENTS HIM FROM ACCEPTING APPOINTMENT BY ACCLAMATION OF THE RIGHTEOUSLY WRONGED , EMPEROR -THE MORAL, CIVIL, & MILITARY RULER OF AREAS AROUND “THE WATER MARGIN” AND LATER, THE NG


BROTHERS TELL SOONG GONG, THEY FOUGHT FOR THE MAN, AND IMPERIAL AMNESTY IS COWPLOP. DO THEY HAVE PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE BAND?

SOONG GONG IS DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT HIS FOLLOWERS AMONG THE 36STARS OF HEAVENLY SPIRITS & 72 STARS OF EARTHLY FIENDS – FOLLOW THE MAN NOT THE MAN’S CAUSES.

WU CHENG EN, WRITES JOURNEY TO THE WEST, WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE, DURING THE PUBLISHING HEY DAY OF THE MING, CHINESE AGAIN, AFTER THE MONGOL 100 YEAR YUAN OF KUBKAI KHAN. THEN AFTER A SPLURGE OF CRITICAL AND PARODY OBVIOUS INTENTIONAL FAKES, WU CHENG EN WRITES HIS INSERT BETWEEN MONKEY TRICKING THE KING HELL OUT OF HELL, AND A CHAPTER PICKING UP THE STORY, AFTER MONKEY GETS OUT OF A TIME IN HELL INTO TANG TIME AGAIN.

THE STRANGER: : WHAT DID MONKEY DO IN HELL TIME AGAIN?

OLD TIMER: HE UNIFIED THE COUNTRYMEN ALONG THE YELLOW RIVER IN A STRATEGY TO RESIST THE EMPIRE GIVING AWAY THE NATION UNDER THEIR FEET. THE PRIME MINISTER , ARRESTS YUE FEI ON A TRUMPED UP CHARGE OF TREASON.

IN THE TANG DYNASTY, MONKEY IN HELL, SUMMONS CHARACTERS HUNDREDS OF YEARS IN THE FUTURE. THE PRIME MINISTER OF SOUTHERN SON, IS LIKE REINHARD HEYDRICH, THE BUTCHER OF WARSAW, TO BERTOLT BRECHT, FRITZ LANG, AND THE ARTISTS WHO ACTIVATED THE CZECH EMOTION EXPRESSED AFTER HEY BRICH’S ASSASSINATIONS BY CZECH PATRIOTS. YUE FEI, TATTOOED BY HIS MOTHER TO TIE HIM TO THE COUNTRY , THE LAND ITSELF , THE GAWK (KUO) NOT THE KWUN – THE COMMANDER OF THE IMPERIAL ARMIES – LIANG HONGYU’S HUSBAND BUYS A TERRITORY ALONG THE YELLOW RIVER, THEY HAVE A KID, AND THE EMPIRE GIVES THE GROUND UNDER THEIR FEET AWAY TO THE HORSEMEN FROM THE NORTH. AT THE SAME TIME, THE IMPERIAL THINKING GOES COSMOPOLITAN AND NEO-CONFUCIAN WITH A TIGHTER GRIP ON WOMEN’S BEHAVIOR, AND THE CONSEQUENT EMPHASIS ON THE MYTHIC MEETING OF THE GIRL WHO CHOOSES HER MAN, CHOOSES

HER MAN, AFTER TESTING HIM, IN BATTLE, IN WAR, AND IN BED. THE HISTORY OF THE SEVEN WIDOW GENERALS OF THE YANG FAMILY AND THE BANDIT QUEEN BECOME APPOINTED BY THE :YANG MATRIARCH TO THE SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE 7 ARMIES -IN THE COMIC BOOK VERSIONS TOLD BY COMPETING SINGAPORE PRINTERS, IN A STREET SLANG OR SHORT CHOPPY ENGLISH, AND DIFFERENT DRAWING STYLES, THAT INCLUDE THE SHAPE OF THE IMAGE ON THE PAGE.

WHAT DO I WANT? I WANT THE US SUPREME COURT TO HEAR THE FAIR PLAY COMMITTEE’S ORIGINAL CASE, AND CLEAR THE RESISISTERS AND CONDEMN MIKE MASAOKA AND THE JACL DURING THE LIFETIME OF 263 RESISTERS AND THE EIGHT OF OKAMOTO, EMI ET AL VS THE USA. TOO LATE. OKAMOTO AND EMI ARE PASSED, AND RECENTLY THE LAST RESISTER WHO EXPRESSED HIMSELF IN ART AND NEVER SAW THE 263 WHO STOOD AGAINST THE BETRAYAL OF THE JACL AND THE GOV COERCIVE ENCAMPING OF THE JAPANESE AMERICAN POPULATION TO GUARANTEE THE VOLUNTEERING OF THE NISEI IN CAMP FOR THE DRAFT INTO THE ARMED FORCES.

THE NEXT BEST THING IS A JAPAM PSYCHIATRIC STUDY OF JAPANESE AMERICA FROM 1939 TO THE PRESENT THAT CONCLUDES ALL OF JAPANESE AMERICAN HISTORY, AS TAUGHT IN AMERICA, IS FALSE AND FALSIFIED BY THE US GOV , AND THE CO-OPERATION OF MIKE MASAOKA, THE “MOSES OF THE JACL. LEADING TO DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL WORKS TESTING THE ELASTIC STRETCH LIMITS OF THEIR CHOSEN ARTS SCREAM AND EXPLOSIVE SOUND OF STRAIN BEFORE BREAKING.

I EXPECT THE US GOV TO CONFESS THEIR SINS, AND GIVE UP MIKE MASAOKA AND HIS JACL, AND PRES CLINTON AND PRES OBAMA ADMIT THEIR MORAL MISTAKE IN AWARDING PRESIDENTIAL HUMANITIES AND ARTS MEDALS TO MAXINE HONG KINGSTON FOR HER EXPRESSIONS OF WHITE RACIST CONTEMPT FOR A HEROINE OF CHINESE POETRY AND CHINESE CIVILIZATION.

IF KINGSTON WANTED A CASE AGAINST CHINESE CULTURE AS MALE DOMINANT, AND HER FATHER WAS A LAST GENERATION LITERATUS RESULTING FROM THE LAST CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS IN 1905, SHE SURELY KNEW OF THE FOUR CHINESE BEAUTIES , THE FOUR LEGENDARY CONCUBINES RAISED FROM INFANCY TO SERVE THE SALACIOUS NEEDS OF KINGS TARGETED BY A CHINESE EMPEROR,

FAR MULAN IS THE FIRST POEM SET IN THE MIND OF A GIRL, THINKING FOR HERSELF. SHE DECIDES FOR HER FAMILY, SAVES HER FAMILY, AND CHOOSES HERSELF A MAN, THE LAST LINES READ OUT LOUD: “ TWO RABBITS HOP TO IT, IN THE TALL GRASS/ WHO CAN TELL THE HE, FROM THE SHE .” IT IS COLLECTED AND PUBLISHED IN 550 AD.

JUST ADMIT THEIR MISTAKE IN READING, AND CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE WITH A READING OF A CIV’S LITERATURE. AS BROKEN DOWN INTO WESTERN CODDLING TOURIST GUIDES TO SINGAPORE, TAIWAN, HONG KONG, CHINA, JAPAN. NOTICE THE KWAN KUNG TEMPLE IN KYOTO TOURIST’S NOTES.

LITERATURE – WHAT IDENTIFIABLE CIVILIZATIONS, CALL THEIR LIT, IS A CIVILIZATION’S REASON FOR BEING, A CIV’S MORAL CONSENT TO EXIST.

The 31at-I come home and what do I see? George Takei on Lawrence O'Dennel THE LAST WORD –msnbc-

JULY ENDS AND AUGUST STARTS WITH GEORGE TAKEI LIKENING HIS 1942 CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE OF TWO ARMED SOLDIERS POUNDING ON HIS DOOR AND ANGRILY ENFORCING ROOSEVELT’S RACIST COMMANMENT EO 9066, ON HIS FAMILY AND MAKING A SHOW OF FORCING YELLOWS OUT OF THEIR HOMES, TO MEXICAN PARENTS BEING SEPARATED FROM THEIR CHILDREN, AND THE CHILDREN OF ALL AGES, A LOST IN TRUMPS CREATION OF A SLAVE CLASS OF “ABANDON” CHILDREN.” VW

Los Olvidados, Mexican film by Luis Bunuel. A Mexican kid of five or six is abandon by his father, taken in by a legless man who teaches him to push the cart legless gets around on, also he;s blind in one eye, Bad teenager fucks a mother and takes her daughter who seems kind to the kid, but accidentally kills him, the last scone is the wickid couple and a donkey walking up steep hill of garbage. An image of Redemption? At the top they toss a bag that rolls to the bottom where camera waits to see the body of the abandon boy roll to a stop.

Some movie nuts would say Bunuel was a casualty of WWI that so bent his moral or artistic sense, he turn surrealist, slices open pig’s eyes in close-up goes to Mexico and makes LOS OLVIDADOS.

The Japanese American mad doctor Shotaro Frak Miyamito who created the sociologial argunt for the scientic eradication of sentimental “nostalgia” with the theory of ASSIMILATION. Why did Journalst Bill Hosokawa turn against Blind William Sakamoto, editor the first all-Engslih JA papern, the Seattle, Japanese American courier, and toward Mike Masaoka of Utah? Does Japanese American Seattle give a fig? No. That is proof of the continuing damage to the JapAmerican self kept hidden from you, White man.

Nothing, personal, Stranger. My negative feelings are against my fellow Yellows. We keep admitting we’re submissive and submit to White superiority. And still Yellows don’t know Sessue Hayakawa looked into the eyes of Anna May Wong, and her eyes look back, they’re the Hollywood tops, in 1930, and fall to permanent flop people in Irving Thalberg’s show Hays Code morally approved THE GOOD EARTH the Yellows are never seen again lip to lip, eye to eye, closed. Yellow men are so creepy, children and Yellow women don’t like Yellow men.

If you don’t know a JACL bully Masaoka, Hosokawa, and mad doc Shotaro Frank Miyamoto, are still organized to hate the No-No Boys OF 1943, and the 1944 organized resistance to the restored draft for Nisei in camp, you must be a White man, or an Ornamental Oriental happily know nothing Yellow not kissed with a Whiteman’s hello non-Christian Chink! ME born in America longtime don’t know the real story of the Jap camps and the Chinese housepets of San Francisco, till you tell me, BOSS.

Stranger, I want you to check the names I have stuck twixt my teeth. Don’t trust me. James Matsumoto Royal Baking Powder Omura, the name of journalist publisher, I find in the proceedings of the Tolan Committee. EO 9066 gave him a date to flee, beyond taken to camp. He became editor of Denver Rocky Shimpo ,that carried the news of camp haps to the ten camps and hometown metro dailies, Three generations after the War, the grandchildren of JACL patriots or blowhards and the hated or loved No-No Boys who refused to ask for the draft in 1943, and resisters to the restored drafting of Nisei from camp of 1944 has driven Yellow arts seeking White public approval , without Yellow critical acceptance and definition, Yellow art for White tastes rejecting all Yellow influence Whites hate with icky love.

I don’t hate you, Stranger. I hate the people who fall on their backs and ask you diddle them Yellow agaon.

THE STRANGER: YOU DON’T HATE THE WHITE MAN?

No.

THE STRANGER:: YOUR HATE IS FOR YOUR PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE WHITE MAN.

Or fear the White Man like Mad Dr Shotaro Frank Miyamoto. Read his 1930 Masters Theses-The writer is a one track minded White Racist Sociologist.

THE STRANGER: I’M SORRY, BUT I’LL FOLLOW TALK ON THE STREET AND MAYBE BUT READ ANYTHING GIVES ME A CHILL. YOU GET MY FRIENDLY MEANING.

Thanks for the listen, Stranger. Have a good evening.

THE STRANGER: : WAIT! PLEASE. I THINK I GET YOU. YOU’RE TRYING TO RAISE A REVOLUTION AGAINST CHARLIE CHAN!


OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HOLLYWOOD, CHARLIE CHAN BE THY NAME.

THE STRANGER: A METAPHOR, RIGHT?

THE COMIC: METAPHOR. METAPHOR EXPLAINS THE DIFF BTWN PROGRAM FOR FRANK SHOBO FUJII, THAT NEVER MENTIONS FRANK FUJII VOKUNTEERING TO DESIGN AND CUT THE SCREEN TO PRINT THE LOGO FOR THE DAY OF REMEMBRANCE AND THE SON’S TRIBUTE SILKSCREEN COPY OF THE DAY OF REMEMBRANCE LOGO, WITH BARBED WIRE ENCIRCLING, THE NUMBERS ICHI, NI , SAN – (ONE TWO THREE) THREE GENERATIONS, IN 1978.

STANFORD PRESS, WILL RELEASE A WHITE RESEARCHED AND WRITTEN AND REWRITTEN AND REWRITTEN TO A JURY OF STANFORD EXPERTS ON WHITE BELIEF OF AND AMONG CHINESE AND JAPANESE PEOPLES IN AMERICA. I AM THE LAST CONNECTION TO THE YELLOW BEGAININGS IN 1849, THE LAST CONNECTION TO THE RAILROAD, THE LAST TO TALK TO THE BLACK LADY THAT SHOWED A STEREO-SCOPE OF CHINA, AND OPENED HIS FAMILY TO CALIFORNIA TOWN THAT SIMPLY IS NOT, ANY MORE. I THE SON OF A PAPER SON, HAVE MET CHINESE CHILDREN TRAINED TO BE ASHAMED OF TREATING THEIR MOTHER, AS IF SHE IS A CONTEMPTIBLE SERVANT, AND NEVER CALL HER “MOTHER” BECAUSE THE WHITE MAN IS WATCHING AND LISTENING TO WHO’S NAUGHTY AND NICE.

ARTHUR HANSEN’S NISEI NAYSAYER, IS JOURNALISTS JAMES MATSUMOTO OMURA IN HIS OWN WORDS. ART HANSEN WENT FURTHER THAN I WOULD GO . WHAT JIMMIE HAS A SON? HE HAS A VISION OF JAPANESE AMERICA BASED ON THE MOVIES? SON AND FATHER, DIFFS AND SAMES IS YELLOW JAP PSYCHE STORIES –

JAMES OMURA WROTE FOR THE NISEI READERS INSIDE TEN RACIALLY SELECTIVE CONCENTRATION CAMPS. JAMES OMURA’S THE JACL PASSES ITSELF OFF AS A CIVIL RIGHTS ORG. IT’S LEADER MIKE MASAOKA REALLY PISSES OFF JIMMIE’S UNDERSTANDING OF THE US CONSTITUTION.

THE GRANDCHILDREN OF THE JAPANESE AMERICANS AND/OR THE NISEI (WHO ARE 80 AND 90 THESE DAYS.

THEY’RE YOUNG JAPANESE YONSEI AND GOSEI GOING CRAZY BECAUSE THEIR GRAND RELATIVES WERE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE JACL VS JAPANESE AMERICA.

THE YELLOWS HAVE NO PSYCHIATRISTS, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS, ACADEMY SHRINKS NOT TRAINED BY A PAGE FROM MAD DOC SHOTARO FRANK MIYAMOTO’S HOLY OF HOLIES, HOW TO BREAK DOWN “SOCIAL SOLIDARITY OF THE JAPANESE OF SEATTLE “ IN THE 1939 HOLY SCIENTIFIC SOCIOLOGIICAL GOSPEL AND, YEA.

THE PROOF THAT WHITES IMPOSE, AND THE YELLOWS TRAINED PASSIVELY OBEY: CLINTON’S HUMANITIES MEDAL TO MAXINE HONG KINGSTON, AND OBAMA’S ART MEDAL TO MAXINE HONG KINGSTON. A TAKOVER OF CHINESE CIVILIZATION BY KINGSTONS WHITE RACIST LIE ABOUT MULAN OF THE CHILDREN’S CHANT ‘THE BALLAD OF MULAN.”

WHY DOES THE TEACHING OF KINGSTON’S ‘THE WOMAN WARRIOR” NOT NOTE THAT SHE TELLS INTERVIEWER KAY BONETTI THAT SHE TOOK THE TATTOOS OFF TE BACK OF YUE FEI AND PUTS THEM ON THE BACK OF THE GIRL, FROM THE STORY OF YUE FEI’S MOM WHO WANTS HER SON TO FIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY – NOT FOR “THE 108 OUTLAWS OF LIANGSHAN MARSH” NO MATTER HOW NOBLE, AND NOT FOR THE WILL OF ONE MAN EVEN THOUGH BE HE A SON OF THE SUN THE EMPEROR-THE KWUN (COMMANDER). MAMA YUE TATTOOS

HER SON’S BACK, WITH THE REJECTION OF THE EMPEROR’S RULE OVER HER FARM, WHICH IRKS THE EMPEROR. ALL THIS FESTERS BLOOMS AND FERMENTS FOR 5OO YEARS AFTER THE BALLAD HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AND CHANTED BY CHILDREN.

SO WHY DO SEVENTY YEAR OLD JAPS & CHINKS DISCOVER TO THEIR SHOCK THAT THEIR DEAD DADS WERE NOT THE MEN THEY CLAIMED? IN MY PLAYS, SHORT FICTIONS, LONG FICTIONS, AND REALLY LONGASS FICTIONS, AND ESSAYISTIC WRITING I AM THE LAST CHINAMAN ALIVE WHO HAS BEEN EVERYWHERE AND TALKED TO EVERYONE FROM THE MINER, TO THE RAILROADMAN, TO THE TARGET OF 20TH CENTURY WHITE RACISM FROM 20TH CENTURY SAN FRANCISCO, AND THE GILDED WHITE RACIST ROMANCE WITH CHINKS FOR PENNIES ALONG THE WAY.

WHY DOES THEATER COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, FROM NEW YORK, DECIDE TO MAKE THE FIRST DOCUMENTARY ON ASIAN AMERICAN THEATER, COMPOSE A GROUP OF YELLOW ARTISTS IN SEATTLE MAKING A DOC ON ASIAN THEATER IN SEATTLE?

I RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY MAKE THE WILD GUESS THAT THEY WANT THE HISTORY OF ASIAN THEATER, FROM HONG KONG TO AMERICA IN 1939, WONG FAY HUNG BRINGS HIS OPERA COMPANY TO NEW YORK, AND IS STRANDED BY THE BAN ON TRAVEL TO CHINA, MEN OF THE OPERA GET JOBS MAKING CHAR NGAU IN CHINATOWN. RUBY MEETS OPERA MAN PING CHOW AS A WAITRESS. THE COMPANY MASTER’S PREGNANT WIFE IS SICKLY. PING AND RUBY SEE THE BIRTH OF MAY SANG, OR MASON WONG IN AMERICA.

SIX O’CLOCK. THE AIR IS DARK AND VAST IN SEATTLE. THE TEA HOUSE AND COFFEE HOUSE AT THE PANAMA HOTEL IS EMPTY BUT FOR ALBERTO, THE BARISTA, BEHIND THE COUNTER, AND EMILY CACHEPERO, AND ME.

I TELL OF RUBY CHOW’S ATTRACTION TO THE DRUMS, GONG CRASH OF BELLS WITH TEETH, STRINGS SING AND WAIL WOMEN’S VOICES, LEADING TO OPERA BEING THE GLUE THAT DRAWS THE VIETNAMESE AND CAMBODIANS THE CANTONESE SPEAKERS FROM SOUTHEST ASIA WHO HAVE THE SAME OPERAS IN VIETNAM AND CAMBODIA ARE FOR THREE HOURS A COMMUNITY EXPERIENCING THE SOUNDS AND VOICES OF A COMMON ART IN THE SIXTIES ON INTO HONG KONG STARS COMING TO SEATTLE WITH THEIR COSTU.MES FOR FREE, JUST TO BE APPRECIATED. WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE CHOWS AND SEATTLE THAT ATTRACTS

WHY DOES FRANK ABE WALK IN ON EMILIY CACHEPERO OF TCG INTERVIEWING FRANK CHIN, FOR HER DOCUMTARY ON THE HISTORY OF ASIAN-AMERICAN THEATER? HIS STORY OF JUST HAPPENING BY, IS A STORY. FRANK CHIN ASKS FRANK ABE THE FORMER PRESS OFFICER OF GARY LOCKE, NOW AMBASSADOR TO CHINA, TO WARN THE AMBASSADOR OF KINGSTON’S RACIST LIE ABOUT FAR MULAN, A CHILDREN’S FAVORITE HEROINE SINCE 550 AD. FRANK ABE POINTEDLY, DID NOT WARN GARY LOCKE. FRANK ABE SAYS, “I DIDN’T WANT TO DO YOU (FRANK CHIN) A FAVOR.”

WHAT WOULD A YELLOW SHRINK SAY, IF YELLOWS WERE TRAINED IN THE SCIENCE OF FRUED AND JUNG, ABOUT THE FILIPINO THEATER ACTIVIST GOING FOR HER STORY OF AA THEATER IN SEATTLE? BUT THERE ARE NO YELLOW PSYCHE DOCS SCHOOLED IN YELLOW MIND WORKS AND MINDFUCKS. SO NO, YELLOW SHRINKS. NO YELLOW POV. FLIP TALK TO A CHINAMAN PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED PLAYWRIGHT WITH A REP IN NOVELS, AND NON-FICTION ESSAYS . MY NAME RINGS TWO DUMB BELLS.. THE SECOND DUMBELL IS SANSEI JAP JOURNALIST WHO REFUSES TO DO ME A FAVOR BECAUSE HE’S A SANSE’I, AND I’M A CHINAMAN?

IF THE JAP WERE A JEW, OR GERMAN, YOU MIGHT ASK FOR THE FRUEDIAN INTERPRETATION.

THERE IS NO JAP FRUED, BUT JAPS WITH PSYCHE PROBLEMS EXIST IN HIDING , AND LOYAL TO MASAOKA, WON’T TALK ABOUT FOR THE LOVE OF WHITES AND DRIVES OUT OF THE “COMMUNITY” ALL WHO HAVE A WORD ABOUT THE JAPANESE AMERICAN CITIZENS LEAGUE.

THE STRANGER: HOW ABOUT THE CHINESE, ANY FRUED’S?

OLD TIMER: CHARLIE CHAN, OUR WHITE FATHER WHICH ART IN HOLLYWOOD.

THE STRANGER: YOU DON’T MEAN TO TAUNT OR PROVOKE A…

OLD TIMER: PERHAPS OFFER A PERFORMANCE OF AN ACT, THAT IS ADJUSTED TO WHITE TASTE.

EVERYBODY, BUT ME, LOVES THE FACT THAT CHARLIE CHAN IS ALWAYS PLAYED BY A WHITE MAN. TALK TO YELLOWS THAT DO THE NEWS IN THE YELLOW CITIES OF SEATTLE AND SAN FRANCISCO.

STRANGER, TALK TO THE YELLOWS LONGTIME DO THE NEWS IN SEATTLE. ASK THEIR TAKE ON THE NEWS OF PRES CLINTON’S HUMANITIES MEDAL AND PRES OBAMA’S ARTS MEDAL TO MAXINE HONG KINGSTON?

SAD TO SAY, I DON’T EXPECT AN ON-AIR YELLOW TO THE CONTENTS OF CHINESE COMIC BOOKS . THE CHINESE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THE CONTENTS OF THEIR CHILDHOOD COMICS REWARDED WITH ADULT TRUTH TOLD IN OPERA, ENDLESS AND MORE ENDLESS NOVELS -UNDERSTOOD WHEN CHILDREN TURN INTO BOYS AND GIRLS. THE FOLK INCLUDING THE BALLAD OF MULAN WAS COLLECTED IN CHINA’S TURN NEO-CONFUCIONIST TURN AGAINST WOMEN WIELDING MALE AUTHORITY. THE NEO-CONFCUCIANISTS SUBJUGATED FEMALES. CHINA NORTH OF THE YELLOW RIVER AND INTO KOREA WAS MORE EGALITARIAN TOWARD WOMEN AND KOREAN SEX. STORIES ARE TOLD FROM A WOMAN’S POINT VIEW. SHE JOINS A MAN IN BOWING ARROWS ON AN ENEMY. THEY GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER ON HORSEBACK AND HUNTING. ARE THE DRAMATIC WELL PRODUCED FILMS FROM KOREAN BROADCASTING, ACCURATE DEPICTIONS OF THE COMMANDER, MAKING A DECISION?

THE COMMADER IS CHALLENGED BY A GENERAL, AND THE COMMANDER’S WIFE , OR DAUGHTER, VOICES HER OPINION BEFORE THE COMMANDER GIVES THE ORDER AGAIN AND THE ORDER IS CARRIED OUT. IS THE PRESENCE OF THE WOMAN HISTORIC FACT OR “ARTISTIC LICENSE?”


WU WRITES MONKEY’S JOURNEY TO THE WEST, IN THE MING. WHEN IMAGINATIONS GO WILD, HE WRITES A WARNING TO THE TANG OF THE HORRORS OF THE SOUTHERN SONG. THE JUDGE OF THE MOMENT, MONKEY MAKES THE BADGUY SUFFER, BEFORE HE’S BORN. HE INVITES YUE FEI THE UNBORN DOOMED TO SUFFER AND BE MURDERED, I BELIEVE WU REALLY WROTE THE ADDENDUM BECAUSE, WU’S YUE FEI, DECLINES THE ENTERTAINMENT WITH TREATS, AND RETURNS TO HIS PLACE IN HELL.

ANY YELLOW NEWSIE WHO KNOWS MONKEY, LIKE I KNOW MONKEY, KNOWS THE ADDENDUM IS IS NEWS! TELL THE STATION! TELL THE PAPER! TELL THE READERS WHO KNOW MONKEY FROM CHILDHOOD AND WANT TO GOSSIP ABOUT HIS SEXUAL COME ONS TO KWAN YIN, WHO IS A TAOIST MAN, BEFORE TURNING BUDDHIST IN A DEAL TO BRING DOWN THE SHANG DYNASTY, THE LAST DYNASTY OF PREHISTORY. WE KNOW MONKEY’S NOT A MONKEY, BUT A PIECE OF ROCK BROKEN OUT IN A MOUNTAIN BLOWING IT’S TOP. A TALKING ROCK AND A WOMAN WHO USED TO BE A MAN, IN A POWER SHARING DEAL BETWEEN TAOISTS AND BUDDHISTS, ARE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER IN A WAY THAT JUMPS THE BELIEF THAT NIRVANAH IS THE LAST DIMENSION OF EXISTENCE ACHIEVABLE WITH LEARNING.

STRANGER, WHILE YOU’RE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I’D APPRECIATE YOU ASKING SEATTLE RESIDENT, AMBASSADOR LOCKE, IF HE KNEWOF RUBY CHOW’S CHINESE CUISINE AND HER HUSBAND PING. AND PLEASE THE AMBASSADOR THE US GOV OPINION OF MAXINE HONG KINGSTON’S FAR MULAN AGAINST THE TEXTS OF CHINESE LITERATURE? WHICH VERSION WOULD HE TELL HIS CHILDREN AND THEIR FRIENDS AT AN OVERNIGHT? THE YELLOW WHOSE GOV SERVICE IS MORE THAN RESPECTABLE TO WHITES AND YELLOWS, ASK HIM IF MAXINE HONG KINGSTON IS REAL OR FAKE.

PLEASE.

SHE KOW TOWS TO THE WHITE MAN IN THE OFFICE , WHO LOOKS TOO THE WHITE MAN IN THE SKY.

She iowned the White men who run DONALDINA CAMERON’S mission school. The school’s mission: WHITE MALE SUPREMACY!

THE COMIC: THAT’S WHY get along with the teachers better than the principals.

JACK SOO: NAZIS TAKEN PRISONER ARE SENT TO CANADA THEN SENT TO ENGLAND TO SMALL CAMPS AROUND LONDON TO REBUILD WHERE THEY ARE DE-NAZIFIED – THE LIFELONG NAZIS ARE SHOWN MOVIES OF NAZI ATROCITIES – THE WRONG OF THE NAZIS ISN’T IMPOSED ON THEM. THEY WON’T GO HOME TILL THEY ARE GRADED WHITE OR GRAY BUT BLACK IS AN INCURABLE NAZI.

THE COMIC: INCURABLE.

JACK SOO: ALMOST ALL GRADE GRAY OR WHITE, AND GO HOME, BY 1948. HOME FOR SOME OF THEM IS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE WALL BUILT BY EVIL EAST GERMANY. THE EVIL EAST ALLOW SO MUCH FOOD A MONTH BY MAIL, THEN FAREWELL LETTERS.

THE COMIC: 1948!

Seattle:

RUBY CHOW

NARRATOR: In a foggy city with a foggy Chinatown a girl is born of a sickly mother accused of being born a husband a wealthy Chinese family in Canada buys, semds south to Seattle as head of the Hop Sing. Comes the day he goes home to wife and family in China, he generously tears up the I owe you notes owed him. Money that should go to the wife and family he leaves in Seattle. The girl takes the stories White men write and publish in the magazines personally. The girl grows up in a lottery parlour where Chinamen talk real crap on her mother who runs the parlour for the Hop Sing.

The girl grows up as the protector of her brothers and sisters. All her mother's children.

All her protected brothers and sisters have gone their separate ways, as have her own children. She and her husband plucked from the good and evil of Cantonese opera by her love, ironically, of Cantonese opera. He is the star she wants to father her children. He's ok with whatever she says. He loves her as much as she loves him. She can't believe it. Neither can he.

"Why the Cantonese opera?" he asks.

"When I'm a girl and go out with our five quart pot out to the icy walks before cement, to buy juk for ma. She just heats up. She doesn't have to do all the rice. She's not in shape. I time going into the cold to the sound of the junkman's horse wagon. He'd ride me up to what's now Weller Street and we'd hear clang clang clang dockdocdocka docka/ and I just liked it. I liked it a lot."

"You know why you like it a lot?""

"Why?"

"You're Chinese, like me, stupid!"

"Don't call ME stupid."

"Let's bring the opera to town. There are people like you and me who like the opera."

"They'll like a real Chinese dinner, "

"I’m a real Chinese cook. "

Ping Chow has come to town with his wife. They married the Seattle they settle and have children. The original myth of Farmer’s blood - marrying the land they settle, breed on and world for generations and rework and renew – they die on the land they wedded themselves to- the farmers children are born on the land - local gods are spirits and ghosts that live on in the physical place lIke the Jap Camps. Mike Masaoka and Norman Minetta and all the JACL monuments celebrate your shame White man. The White idea of Yellow civil rights is Mike Masaoka? It is written in bronze on White mans sacred ground.

THE WRITER: I’D photograph MYSELF BY SPITTING AND PISSING ON THE MASAOKA JACL MONUMENT LIKE VISITORS TO GENERAL YUE FEI’S TOMB PISSING ON THE BRONZE STATUES OF HIS EXECUTIONORS OF OUTSIDE , BEFORE GOING INSIDE.

JACK SOO: WHO ARE YOU?

THE WRITER: The men who freed the Japs from the concentration camps are the No-No Boys of 1943 and the Draft Resisters of 1944 -

JACK SOO: Whites just won't listen you assimilated Yellow, you, be grateful, bye.

THE WRITER: Say! There's a play in OUR CONVERSATION! A play with real actors playing real people.

JACK SOO: A PLAY? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE WRITER: Come to me with something in hand - a play - money - a theater - a company of trained skilled actors accomplished in White theater willing to work in concert on experimental Yellow works etc - meantime- I write what I write and wait for a Yellow publisher to show themselves out of you mess of soulless , gutless, shapeless, meaningless nameless ornaments.

THE COMIC: Whoa! I don't want to go into a KRAPP'S LAST TAPE last tape riff. You know how that ends. Whew!

THE WRITER: I HATE TO TELLYA

JACK SOO: SO DON’T!

THE WRITER: SO I DON’T.
