My podcast topic is The Cultural Dilemma and Outlet of Asian Diaspora. You are welcome to listen to my podcast and give me some comments and suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Summary:

I focus on *Crazy Rich Asians *and *Fresh Off the Boat *these two works to further observe the development of Asian American culture and try to find a way out of their existential dilemma through three parts: the key points of these two stories, the figure Constance Wu’s true immigrant identity, and the nature of two particular Asian American productions. I invite Emma as my partner. We hold a discussion and find a solution for the dilemma.
