After reading several poems of Wang Ping, I really admire and respect her. She is a woman warrior with bravery, persistence and resolution. The more she fights for herself and other people who have similar situations, the more she is easily to be slandered by different groups of people, not just those who discriminate her. I could feel her anger and pain in every piece of her work. Sometimes, I feel why doesn't she just give up and choose another way, but think it again, giving up will cause more pain to her. Asian Americans are vulnerable to discrimination from all kinds of fields and people. I feel lucky there are people like Wang Ping fighting for their groups. In the article Epilogue Upward and Onward, there are several ways for intersecting commitments in which Asian American women must engage: community-building work among Asian American women academics, reclaiming “community engagement” at the university level, reorienting the profession, and legislative change. Personally, I believe legislative change should be the most important one. It is true that Asian American females should fight but with legislative as a backup, their fight will be easier.
Question: Who is His Holiness in Wang Ping's poem?
