SUMMARY:Searching for Billie
DESCRIPTION:Join us with journalist\, Ian Gill\, as he talks about his journey understanding his mother’s story! \nIan Gill identifies as a Eurasian journalist\, who’s main ambition is to “sleep eight hours uninterrupted\,” per his South China Morning Post freelancer bio. Eurasian is not a term that is frequently used in America\, but many abroad identify with the word and their experiences are similar to the stories of many Chinese Americans. \nGill has written for a wide range of publications\, including the Asian Wall Street Journal\, Asiaweek\, Insight\, Fiji Sun\, and the Evening Post (Wellington). He lived in the West for the first 30 years of his life\, and then visited Hong Kong in 1975 and has lived there ever since. This visit was the impetuous for his book\, Searching for Billie\, where he uncovers his mother’s story and his family history. \nAt this event\, Ian Gill will discuss his writing process\, his mother’s story\, and be available for book signings! \nRSVP with the following link.

SUMMARY:Talk Story: Staring into the Sun
DESCRIPTION:Join the 1882 Foundation and the Locke Foundation in the historic town of Locke for a Talk Story with debut author Madelyn Postman. \nPostman’s debut book Staring into the Sun traces multiple generations of her Chinese American family from1895 to 2015 and reflects on themes of immigration and identity\, intergenerational loss\, and cultural erasure. Spanning continents and centuries\, the collection weaves together stories from her great-grandfather Joe Shoong’s journey from the impoverished outskirts of Zhongshan\, China\, to the National Dollar Stores of the American West\, and finally\, to Postman’s own reckoning with her mother’s death by suicide and what it means to carry a secret that shaped her entire life. \nThe event will include a plaque unveiling at the Locke Chinese Schoolhouse (refurbished with funding from Joe Shoong in 1952 ); an author talk and Q+A; a book signing with the author; and complimentary light refreshments. Please bring cash to purchase the book ($17). All ages are welcome. \nThis event is hosted in partnership with the Locke Foundation\, whose mission is to educate the public about Locke’s history and legacy through preservation and cultural activities.
