So happy with these beautiful illustrations by @i_am_jingwaa for the story I wrote about Chien-Shiung Wu, my grandmother. This is post 1 of 2, illos sprinkled with reference photos.
Second illo refers to this opening line: “Someone pulled a cord and yellow fabric billowed down, revealing a three-story-tall statue of my grandmother.” Third illo is referenced from a shot of her in her lab at Columbia. 📸 (Columbia University Archives)
And as always, thanks to @kammakart who did the painting of her that’s in the stamp. Support artists!

Earlier this year, when my grandmother, Chien-Shiung Wu, was featured on a USPS first-class Forever stamp, a flood of articles came out explaining who she was and the importance of her work — disproving what was thought to be a fundamental law of nature and changing scientists’ understanding of the universe. Specifically, she proved the “non-conservation of parity,” which showed that the laws of nature are not entirely symmetrical, that the universe does at times distinguish between left and right.
Back when the stamp released in February, I started writing my own tribute to her, on and off, little by little, while recovering from uterine fibroid surgery. Slowly, it morphed from pure biography into a saga that I like to think is about grandmothers and granddaughters, mothers and sons, Chinese history, immigrants, racism, sexism, women in STEM, the thrill of scientific discovery, the tolls of fame and relentless ambition, the questions we have about our families that are too late to ask, and the particular sadness of missing someone who the world reveres.
It’s been a difficult and rewarding writing process with a lot of tears, not cathartic, exactly, but something that has brought me closer to my parents and relatives.
I told myself I wouldn’t share any of the few photos I have with my grandma until the piece published. Well, I’m glad to say that day had arrived. (Link in bio.) Here’s one of her with me as a baby.
With giant thanks to @washingtonpost for letting me do this; my parents and relatives for their memories; scientists like @jannalevin, Morgan May, and Lam Hui for their expertise, and, above all, my very patient editor @hstuever, who kept me sane and gave this piece some of his lovely DNA.

“We are all in a way just theorizing about the lives of those we were closest to; once they’re gone, we work with the data and notes that remain.” — from my essay on my grandma, the trailblazing nuclear physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, or just “grandma” to me.
I didn’t know she was famous until Chinese television cameras swarmed us as we were entering her funeral on a devastating day in February 1997.
Here are some more of my favorite family photos:
I love this first photo of us from when I was 8, because she gave me that frilly polka dot party dress and I wore it every chance I got. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. She’d also send me ornate miniature tea sets and colorful dragon kites, little sprinkles of China that my friends and I would play with in New Mexico. Photo #2 is of my parents and me with my grandparents outside their apartment on Claremont Ave. across the street from Barnard and Columbia — where I fell in love with New York. And photo #3 is my father with his parents on the ocean liner they took to visit Europe I want to say around 1959 when he was around 12. I’d never noticed that he’s holding onto a stuffed animal tiger until now. Link is in bio if you feel inclined to read it!

Congratulations to the one and only @yanitseng, the legendary golfer who got absolutely mobbed by Taiwanese aunties at the @hiffhawaii premiere of a documentary about her remarkable career and comeback. No surprise that it won the audience award for favorite documentary!
This video is 15 mins of Yani taking selfies, signing golf balls and tennis balls, etc. She’s HUGE in Taiwan. She was youngest golfer ever (male or female) to win five major championships. Between 2011 and 2013, she was ranked the No. 1 player on the LPGA Tour. She was one of Time’s 100 most influential people in the world. Then her career took a nose dive.
The documentary, “Beyond the Smiles: Yani Tseng,” from director Frank W. Chen, is about the enormous pressure she was under, her struggles with mental health, and the courage it took to come back. She’s playing golf again, at 37! And she clearly has fans who love her around the world. #hiff #lpga

Flew back from Hawai’i to do my favorite thing, VOTE!!!(Also had other stuff to do back home 😁. Even if this NYC election isn’t as exciting as others, I still got stoked about the ballot proposals.)

Racing around to four sold out theaters playing Sung Kang’s directorial debut, “Drifter,” at the Hawai’i International Film Festival.
Tickets were in such demand that the festival had to keep adding on screenings. And Sung wanted to say “hi” to each audience, with the help of new HIFF executive director Jean Lee. The movie debuted in Toronto in September, but was completely re-edited for the Hawai’i premiere. Car enthusiasts, at least, are going to love it. The line of people who brought toy cars or pieces of their own cars for Sung to sign went halfway down the Kahala mall.

Woke up just in time for sunrise. View from my lanai in Honolulu. Again, not a bad way to film fest @hiffhawaii

Can safely say that @hiffhawaii is like no other film festival I’ve experienced. The community turns out bearing leis. I’ve been in three different rooms where the whole audience burst into song or call-and-response chants (seriously, everyone has amazing voices!). Night 2 was the world premiere of “Making the Line,” a documentary from first-time director Zilla Barbara about competitive hula dancing. And we were treated to a surprise performance from Hālau Hiʻiakaināmakalehua, champions of the @merriemonarchfestival — essentially the world champs. In the Kahala cineplex in a mall! I thought about cutting this video down where my shot wasn’t the best or other photographers are in frame, but it’s too special. Hope you enjoy!

I just read the lovely article about the lovely @mxviv - Justin Vivian Bond - in The New York Times by @alphajada . Genius. Chanteuse. Actor. Writer. Raconteuse. Activist. Friend. New Yorker. Parisian. I love’em all. A few photos of us over the years. That’s another beloved friend @peter_staley with us in one photo. The dinner is one I gave in SoHo - the one in NYC - to celebrate one of the issues of FourTwoNine where I was the founding Editor in Chief. I think it was the one with @alancummingreally on the cover since he and Viv are talking there next to where I was seated. And the last one was as we were all emerging from COVID lockdown upstate where Viv lives whimsically across the river from where I once lived. I had baked an orange olive oil cake and was giving pieces away to celebrate and she was the first person to get a slice. Viv has started a monthlong residency at @joespub . If you’re in NYC don’t miss it.
