Search for a true story? Found

This Thursday, there will be a special film screening of “Found”, followed by a director Q&A and NYU Shanghai community adoptee panel.

Special Event: Film Screening

Found is a powerful documentary that tells the story of three Chinese American adoptees who return to China to reconnect with their roots. Their journeys shed light on the complex role of adoption in both American and Chinese society. 

Time: 18:00-21:00 PM, Thursday, April 20

Place: Auditorium E101

As a supplement to this event, you might be interested to delve deeper into the topic of adoption and cultural identity. 

Our librarian recommends a documentary and a book for you:

  1. Wo ai ni Mommy (I love you, Mommy)

Watch

This film reveals the complicated gains and losses that are an inherent aspect of international, transracial adoption. In 2007 Donna and Jeff Sadowsky of Long Island, New York adopted eight-year old Fang Sui Yong from Guangzhou, China. This day will change Sui Yong’s life, forever. Language, habits, food, everything she knows will never be the same. Her new life in America is filled with happiness and confusion. Sui Yong has become someone neither she nor Donna could have imagined. 

2. How Chinese are you? Adopted Chinese youth and their families negotiate identity and culture

Read

Chinese adoption is often viewed as creating new possibilities for the formation of multicultural, cosmopolitan families. However, transnational, transracial adoption also presents challenges to families who are trying to impart in their children cultural and racial identities that they themselves do not possess, while at the same time incorporating their own racial, ethnic, and religious identities. Many of their ideas are based on assumptions about how authentic Chinese and Chinese Americans practice Chinese culture.
