“The View/视角” exhibition in New York, 2018
The “Chow” series demonstrates the three outstanding representatives of American Chinese food that are deeply loved by the American people: chop suey, Beef with broccoli, and General Tso's Chicken.
For the Chinese in the United States, American Chinese food is medicine for treating their homesickness and a sense of
belonging in a foreign country. For the United States and the world, American Chinese food is a medium for them to
feel the charm of oriental cuisine. It is a container for more collisions and communications between
Oriental and Western cultures.
There, the humanistic spirit of American Chinese cuisine is worthy of panegyrizing and eulogizing.
Human society is constantly developing and progressing, and world culture is increasingly communicating and integrating.
Perhaps for the Chinese stomachs, American Chinese food tastes “changed”, however, some things have not changed,
that is, the Chinese people's
Tenacity, hard work, flexibility, and a red heart that
spreads Chinese excellent food culture to the world.
