Description
Chinatown Pretty is a signature style worn by pòh pohs (grandmas) and gùng gungs (grandpas) everywhere—but it's also a life philosophy, mixing resourcefulness, creativity, and a knack for finding joy even in difficult circumstances.
This book is filled with beautiful photos and stories, including:
- Seniors who dress up impeccably just to walk to the grocery store
- A man who spent twenty years as a political prisoner in China
- A senior who reminisces about singing Cantonese opera with his roommates.
Chinatown Pretty features heartwarming portraits and shares nuggets of philosophical wisdom and personal stories about immigration, and is sure to provide a fresh perspective on Chinese American culture today.
Not available for Kindle download.
