具体描述

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.

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...

我成长在中国,因为准备去美国留学,所以想通过这本书了解下美国的文化。对于Jimmy所受的歧视,理解的同时,我本人并没有太大的共鸣。你选择成为美国人,也就选择了这份责任。 反而,我却特别同情Jimmy的爸爸。尽管Jimmy现在在Hollywood小有名气了,但我知道,身为父亲的他,还...

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...

蛮有意思的推荐一边听,时不时的看看Pdf。能感觉他对美帝文化的认同,所以也算是新移民写给美帝的一封情书吧。

几乎整本书都可以直接搬上他的standup,好好笑。

看完Jimmy的Standup沉迷于此书。他很会讲故事,只是觉得中间的部分有些太夸张,以及叙事的语气有些自大。他在Yahoo和HBO中抉择的时候,还有从Strip club回LA的两个点非常的感人。那10年前后出入境的对比也很有趣。”I’ve spent my life fitting in” - 从脱离,融入而又回归的三个阶段,讲述了他作为初代移民的种种境遇。非常欣赏他为了梦想坚定不移地走出舒适区的勇气。
