Extract
When I crossed the Pacific Ocean and set out on a new venture on the Western Hemisphere at the turn of the twenty-first century, I knew that I wanted to study and write about my journeys, my life, and my negotiations in different cultures and settings. This gives me great cause to embrace my upbringing and get in touch with new grounds in a more thoughtful and critical way. It has been my privilege to have studied in Cinema Studies in New York University, which has shaped my intellectual mindset and paved my way into scholarly exploration. I am especially grateful to Zhang Zhen, who has always guided me with her insights, profound knowledge, and expansive life experience. Her unwavering dedication to substantial scholarship and her extraordinary knack of building a sound, energizing professional-parental life continue to inspire me and have a significant impact on my work and career choices. I am also indebted to many other professors who have set me on the path, encouraged me to go on and go further on this voyage of boundless learning, and supported me all the way along: Dana Polan, Anna McCarthy, Robert Stam, Richard Allen, Robert Sklar, Ed Guerrero, and Chris Straayer at New York University; Sung-sheng Yvonne Chang, Wen-Hua Teng, S. Craig Watkins, and Mary Celeste Kearney at the University of Texas at Austin; Claudia Gorbman at the University of Washington Tacoma; Jiayan Mi at the College of New Jersey; Jonathan Kahana at University of California Santa Cruz; and Han Yuhai, Zhang Yiwu, Cao Wenxuan, Li Yang, and Dai Jinhua at Peking University. Their wisdom, expertise, and generous help have continuously nurtured me since I was student and became an academic myself.
