Manage episode 314537233 series 3134432
In this episode, Alan Zheng returns to his childhood neighborhood of Oakland Chinatown and reminisces on his experience growing up there. He shares his story in the context of broader cultural shifts, as Oakland Chinatown has gradually become gentrified similar to many Chinatowns across the United States. Alan also shares about some of his favorite documentaries that tell the story of the Chinese-American experience, and juxtaposes those stories with that of his uncle who moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico to open one of the only Chinese restaurants in the area.
