week 10 Blog
Cannot imaging it's most the end of this quarter and it's will be my last blog. Within this week's reading, Ping Wang’s My Kintsuki and Robin Magalit Rodriguez’s Epilogue: Upward and Onward: Asian American Women’s Legal Resistance is really impressive. The word “kintsuki” represents how she became a stronger and better person after facing the challenges she went through. The line “holding this world with veins of gold” also represents how she and others like her are making the world a better place and are fixing the brokenness of the world. In addition, she tells how she and others have held a hearing on Asian American studies at UC Davis, discussing how the subject is not taken seriously and how the underserved populations of Asian Americans are not paid attention to. The hard work that people have done and are still doing provides hope that academia will become a better place, but only if people fight for it.
Looking back to these ten weeks of my Asian American study journey, I got a totally new view of the actions and efforts that scholars contributed to building a fair and harmonious academic community. They are soldiers and heroes who fight for the right they deserve. Inspiring by them, there will be more and more Asian American women scholars and students stand out and finally establish a revolution in which our defense and strength will mirror the warriors that came before us and to establish tangible change.
