Lion Dance
Team practices
for NewYear
ByOoan Wong
"Irs a novelty, you don't usually see
girls do the Lion Dance," said Trang
Huynh, fifteen years old and a member
of the Seattle Chinese Community Girls
Drill Team which is currenUy practicing
thedance for itsFebruary 9 performance
at the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce New Year's banquet.
"'You can't have a Chinese function
without the Lion Dance ... that's when
we started teaching the girls, over 20
years ago: said Cheryl Chow, Seattle
City Councilperson and longtime drill
instructor for the team's marching unit.
The drill team was started in 1952 by her
mother, Ruby Chow.- also a former KinK
Coun Councilperson.
~ en we first started out, WE" got
men to teach (the dance), then we w ere
able tolearnand passon the skills," said
Chow. The team now has three women
instructors, Betty Lau, Lisa Fung and
Sue May Ho. There are 55 members of
the SeatUe Chinese Community Girls
Drill team, ten to twelve ofwhom areon

ranged from 14 to 16 years old.

Doing the dance teaches teamwork.
" All parts are important, the head can't
go without the tait," said Eng. #
Yet, "After awhi.le, it gets heavy, you
get a little tired." Wong added.
The girls practice the drill routines
once a week and the Lion Dance once a
week. In return, they also learn about
leadership and how to get along with
people. "You learn a lot of things you
can use later on in life. You learn to give
of yourself," says Eng.

Company because the old one wore ou t.
The all-girl Lion Dance Team has been

In the past, the other lion dance teams
have appeared at dinners, museum,
store openings and other events to raise

'Behind that large frame and
gruff exterior, he always had a
soft touch'
by Sharon Maeda
On Super Bowl Sunday 1991, Aki
Kurose was honored at a Women's International League for Peace & Freedom reception with a Lifetime Award.
Aki then paid tribute to her husband.
"I'm able to do what I do because of the
love and support ...and patience of my
husband, junx." And with shyness and
physical difficulty (he had recently
suffered another stroke), junx stood up
and was applauded.
Little did anyone know that it would
be his last outing. junx suffened a massive heart attack a few hours later while
watching the Super Bowl with thefamily.
This past Saturday afternoon, hundneds of friends from all walks of life
gathered at the japanese BaptistChurch
for junx's funeral. The Rev. Paul Nagano
flew up from the Bay Area to officiate.
Dr. Mas Fukuhara, a longtime friend,
presented junx's life statement. Guy
Kurose spoke movingly of his father in
a letter faxed to Seattle and read by
Guy's brother Paul.
In some ways, junx was like every
other nisei man. He was totally devoted
to his family. His marriage to Aki was
one of total support and commitment,
even when they didn't always agree. He
once wrote to Aki, lito my liberated wife
from your unliberated1lUsband."
But Junx Kurose was also one of a
kind, a pioneer and a trailblazer who
was never really acknowledged for his
contributions to our community and to
many individuals.
Junx worked 30 years on the graveyard shift as a machinist at Boeing. He
represented the machinists union on
the board of the Boeing Employee Good
Neighbor Fund, and was proud of his
role in advocating for projects in the
Asian communi ty.
While Aki was working to make the
world a betterplace, junx was making a
difference, one person, one conversation at a time.
Everyone has their stonesaboutJunx.
There are the childhood stories. According to Aki, Nhe was a rascal." He
was well known for his antics such as
swimming across Lake WaShington
without a safety boat. He was a seconddegree black belt in judo long before
studying in japan with a well-known
judo instructor. Guy Kurase recalled
reading about his father in a japanese
judo magazine. The story, he said, was
about "junro Kurose, the big nisei soldier\vith themostferodouskiaiyouever
heard."
In today's terms, Junx might have
been called a youth at risk. Given the
support of teachers, he might also have

Korean American teenager
assaulted in Federal Way
by Mal)' Akamine
MIchael Han. a 17-year-<>ld Korean
American from Federal Way, suffered a
diSlodged tooth and had to undergo
dental surgery last month after an un-
known white man punched him in the
mouth.
A King County Police report states
there was no apparent motive for the
incident. Han and his family say the
attack was radaUy motivated.
TheassaultaUegedlyoccurred shortly
after 11 p.m. on Friday, January 11 in
Federal Way. Han was attacked outside
a friend's house, where he had spent the
evening watching videotapes. Two
Vietnamese friends were with him, and
had climbed into the backseat of Han's
car. Han was openi ng the driver's door
when three white men suddenly approached him on his left.
They said, "Hey, gook! You got a
problem or something?!" Han recalled.
He had never seen the men before. They
appeared to be in their early 20s.
One of the men confronted Han, staring him down . Han pushed him away,
and said he had no problem-that he
just had to get home. Before he could
react, another man stepped up and
slugged him in the mouth.
Han fell to the ground. His mouth
was bleeding badly, he said, and one of
his front teeth feltlikeit had been pushed
back an inch in his mouth. He couldn' t

He recalled seeing about five cars in
the vicini ty with their headlights on,
and hearing some laughter through the
darkness. Someone in a Toyota pickup
truck handed a baseball bat to o neof the
men, who he bega n to swing it, Han
recalled.
Han climbed to his feet, got in his car
and drove away. l-Ian believes whi le he
was in his friend's house that nig ht, his
assailants also kicked and dented his car.
'1t wasn't real noticeable at night," Han
said of thedarnage to his family' scar, "but

off, and they kicked the tail-ligh t, and
they put a little dent in the side."

attempted to get treatment at a Federal
Way hospital, where they waited three
ho urs. They fina lly drove to the University of WaShington Hospital in Seattle,
where a dental intern put Han's upper
front teeth in braces, took out the dislodged tooth, and stitched it back in
place. A hospital official called the police to report what had happened.
Han and his family say the incident
clearly stemmed from white American
racist attitudes towards Asians. Margaret Han, Michael's mother, was angry
about the attack, and said she regrets
ever coming to the U.S. She and the
fami ly moved to the U.s. from Seoul
when Michael was still an infant. Dong-

the way white students treat Asians at

Han said he was too outnumbered to

recognize them and report them to the
police.

written some auspicious messages on
red paper in red calligraphy: "To go In
and out in safety," "Fou r seasons in
peace," "One investment wit h a thousand returns," and o thers. Chin's own
hopes for 1991 are down-la-ear th:
"Health, no sickness, no pain-that's
it." As a Hakka Chinese, she has not
celebrated the lunar new yea rs in all
"ten parts," and says that no particular
year stands out in her memory.
Although she eats a restricted dietdue to diabetes and high blood pres-
sure-she muses briefly abou t some
favorites such as ch icken, po rk, tean
sausage, fish and shark's fin soup.
Some family membe rs will visi t
around New Year's. She has a to tal seven
surviving children, one grandson, two
granddaughters, and one great gra nddaugh ter.
Annie Chee, also 88, claims that 1991
is "just ano ther year" to her. By March,
she will have been a residen t at Kin On
for three years. Although she finds the
staff "really nice," shealso mentions her
dream about moving out back into her
own apartment. Yet, she claims there is
a real scardtyof apartments, and so, she
"intends to stay."
Her most memorable New Year's was
eight years ago when the family got
together to celebrate. This yea r, her
family will also bring in "much food."
Staff members have planned "lots of
activities," which she enjoys.
As a Presby terian Chris ti an, Chee of·
ten says prayers for ha lf an hour rontinuously. She has a s trong memory,
and claims to have memorized 4,000
word sof prayer. She has two d aug hters,
one son, 199randchild ren,andsixgreatgra ndchild ren. In May, she will have
yet ano ther great-grandson. In April,
she expects twi n grea t·grandda ugh rers.
Two of her children live in the Pacific
Northwest; one li ves in the Midwes t. "1
have a long s tory, because I have a big
family," she says.
Mary Leung, who plans the resident s'
meals, describes the New Yea r's Eve
dinner, which will be attend ed by some
of the residents' famili es. She mentions
chicken agar soup, chicken stew, barbecue pork, s tea med rice, Bud d ha's
Delight vege tables, pud d ing ca ke
topped with almond fl akes, white suga r
steamed rice cakes, and beverages. Gu
explains that the meals aren' t larger, but
special "with good meanings."
Gu ex plains some cha ll enges in
planning events for the residents: Nfl
you think the elderly are like children,
you are 100% \¥rong. You cannot force
them. You have to respect them. You
canno t give say 1 give them sympathy.'
You must be direct. You cannot pity
them. You have to love th em when you
work with them."
Gu expects a number or relatives to
visit on the weekend s prior to and direc tly after Ne w Year's Day. Some
fa milies visit their relatives at noontime
and in the evenings at mealtimes, in
ord er to help starr with feeding clients.
Ma ny Asians feel the traditional reverence for family, and show their respect.
"Our residents feel very lu cky:' Gu says.

Theconnecllon between
u.s,Intervention In Asia
and the Middl e East was
110t los t on the audience,
mad e up o f Filipino#
by Russell Leong
LOS
'GELES - On January 18, an
overflow crowd of 300 Asian Pacific
Amcricansfromall walksoflifeattended
the first pan-Asian/Pacific antiwar
teach-in in Los Angeles.
The two-hour gathering was held
under the joint sponsorship of the Alliance for Philippine Concerns, Nuclear
Free Asia Pacific Committee, Young
Koreans United, UCLA Asian American
Studies Center, and Unity newspaper.
Members of Young Koreans United
began the event, with a stirring performance on traditional Korean drumsthe sound risi ng to the twenty-foot
banner which read ' J 0 War in the
Middle East: Nuclear Free Peace Zo nes
in Asia. Pacific region, and MiddJe East."
Prosy DeJacruz followed with a review of the history of U.s. intervention
in the Pacific. Delacruz, reminded the
audience of the World War U destruction of Hiroshi ma and agasaki, U.s.
intervention in the Philippines, and wars
in Vietnam and Korea. The legacy of the
U.S. in the Pacific region, she noted, is
one of "blood, warfare, and death ... And
now, that blood isspiliinginto thelndian
Ocean, to the Middle East."
Expressing his solidarity with the dilemma of Arab peoples (not governments), Khader Hamide, of the Palestine
SolidarityCommittee,gaveanoverview
of British, French,and U.s. intervention
in the Arab world and the division of
the Middle East int.o oolonies after World
War 1. Even after the last Arab nation
was freed from colonization in 1967,
Hamide stated, the colonizers never really left, but were instrumental in crea t-
ingregimes that rnight have madea few
ruling families wea lthy-bu t left many
Arabs impoverished, such as the unine
million Arabs in the Sudan." Hamidc
urged an e nd to this war against Arab
peoples and also thanked members of
the Asian American community (or
protesting against the recent FBI harassment of Arab Americans.
Enrique Delacruz, of the Alliance for
PhilippineConcems, painted the global
picture of US. foreign policy "waging
wars against the peoples of Central
America, Asia,and now the Middle East,
despite international laws and moral
values." Delacruz co ndemned U.S.
government support of all anti-democratie regimes in those regions, singling
out the Marcos regime as an example.
Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous

community on many important issues in
the Year of the Ram
Commission On Asian American Affairs
C hin ese, Japanesc,
Vietnamese, and othcr
Asian Pacific students,
workers, and professionals,
Kathy NishimotoMasaoka , o f the ationa I Coali tion for Redress and Reparations,
brought the issuesofthe
wa r home, stressing tha t
it was a raci s t war
against peoplesofoolor,
pitting Americans (African Americans, latinos, C hi ca nos, and
Asians) against Arabs.
She also mentioned the
example of Japanese
Ame ricans
during
World War II who resisted the draft at Hea rt
Mountain internment
camp, or protested governmen t-imposed curfews (Go rdon
Hirabayashi, Min Yasui, and Fred
Korematsu). She urged Asian America ns to protest the potential violation of
civil and constitutional righ tsof the Arab
American conununi ty. Panelist Esther
Soria no, of the Philippine Support
Committee, said that "in this war, there
are na winners," and she wondered what
she would say to hernephew, who is on
the frontlines in the Middle East.
Perhaps the most moving accou nts at
the teach-in were testimoni es by Asian
American students. Dennis Arguelles,a
UCLA graduate st udent, ta lked about
his experiences as a West Poi nt cad et,
a nd his subsequent decision to quit the
West Point academy. He couldn' t reconcile what he knew about US. govern-
ment su pport of death squadS1n EI SaJ~
vador and elsewhere with the rrulltary
propaganda he ""' ''ved dunng hIS cadet training.
" Whether we are teachers, SOCial
workers, or students, our work eRn help
change the course of U.S. foreign policy,'
Arguelles argued . He conduded, "If.
West Pomtcadet can makea l8O-degree
tum, then anyone can." The audience
cheered.
Patty Abrantes, a sociology studen t at
the University of CalifOrnia, Santa Barbara, wasoneof200studentsarrested at
a recent campus protest. She made the
point that Americans of color made up
40 percent of front line forces, yet have
very few representatives in Congress.
During the "open mike" session,
AsianAmerican veterans of the Vietnam
War, high school students, and other
community members spoke about the
price that people of color and poor
people will pay to support the massive
and expenSive U.s. war effort.
Jocelyn Bayle Sanchez, of the Manila
Actors Studio, gave a dramatic monologueabout a Filipino mother who loses
a SOn to the war, and performer and
si nge r obu ko Miyamoto sang a
"Vietnamese Lament," remarking that
she was saddened that 20 years later the
song rang true for another oppressed
people.
Meetings and marches are planned in
the future to call for:

the Midd Ie East

While others may have been apprehensive about being typecast as a minority

Abe describes his profession as a
window of opportunity to address minority affairs and more specificaUy,
Asian American issues from a culturally sensitive point of view. He talked
about the distinct qualities Asian
American journalists must provide,

Asians into thesekinds of jobs, they wiD
provide a kind of sensitivity or actually
generate new stories about Asians ... We
need to look within ourselves to take
seriously a kind of responsibility."
What does it mean to be an Asian

Zhang Xianliang's two novels Hillf of

may be seen as one long work from

aftermath of the Cultu ral Revolution.

labor camps, where they suffered
physical tortures as well as severe mental strain. Half of Man is Woman
chronicles Zhang Yonglin's emancipation both from the labor camps, and
from his lifelong impotence of 39 yea.rs.
Getting Used to Dying describes the unnamed narrators travels in the West as
a Chinese author, who suffers flashbacks to his years of exile in Ningxia.
The writer himself was bom into an
elite, well-.,ducated Nanjing family in
1936. At 21, he was arrested for writing
poetry. Since 1956, he has been in and
out of labor camps, under surveillance
or house arrest. Once a marked man
from theanti-Rightistmovementin 1957,
he was singled out for each new cataclysmic political upheaval as a counterrevolut.ionary.
If the Chinese prople don't stand up and
speak, if they don't move to the frontline of
struggle themselves, then one billion prople

gwbe. We williuroe been the most stupid,

starvation. Mos t supplement their
skimpydiets with stoloo vegetables from
the camp's own gardens.
Zhang notes one difference between
life in the camps and outside during
that tumultuous time: "On the Outside,
a person of dubious political leanings is
shunned. He is an outcast who cannot
be trusted. Those who have committed
some moral oHense, on the other hand,
are considered merely unfortunate: they
su ffer only from 'internal contradk~
tions: On the lnside, things are different. The values, concepts, the very way
of thinking held so tenaciously by a
laboru gang is at odds with the rest of
China. It is because of this that the life of
a prisoner offers certain insights, and
also certain rewards. Within a labour
gang it is the political prisoner who is
trusted, although ~dmittedly the trust
comes in limited ways."
While there, Zhang aCcidentally
catches sight of a beautiful female prisoner bathing in a drainage canal. It is a
moment close to epiphany: the first time
the 31-year-old man has ever seen a
nude woman.
Eight years later, they meet again and
marry. "Although we were living in a
society that strangled individuality, at
least I maintained the distinction of sex.
Tha t powerful gestu re of hers, that brave
and soundless call, had had the eHect of
raping me. I had not had the courage to
meet i t, but j ts effect was to stay wi th me
and in me: although at the age of thirty-
~ne, I ,was stil1 a virgin, 1 had

VlIglOlty at that moment ... From that
time on, I knew if I were to think of a
woman, I would think of her,-
. Through his wife, Xiangjiu, Zhang
dIscovers his masculine potency and a
passion for politics, which "flows from
the same source as the impulse of lust:"
Their romance is short-lived, however,
Xiangjiu, twice married already, has an
affair. Although she is beautiIul, she is
also barren.
While in the camps, Zhang cannot
participate politically because this "village of outcasts is located in a remote

like a "baton through innumerable
hands, one by one. By the timeit reached
this vinage, it was like the sun' s reflected light that had been to the moon
and back before touching our lives."
Therefore, Zhang is determined to leave
the camps in search of a more gratifying
existence.
In the courne of these events, Zhang
meets up with some strange characters,
some from history and literature, others
of pure imagination. While Zhang is
outsjde his own home watching the local official and his wife cuckold him, a
fa~ short spirit wearing the costume of
a Song Dynasty official comes over and
gives him a kick. It chides him about

since birth, accuses humans of retrogressing. His castration by humans has
left him disinterested that his government has castrated the Chinese people
to make them "tractable."
At one point, he meets up with the
spirit of Karl Marx, who criticizes the
application of his theory in Chinese
governance.
The writer Zhang )(janliang walks
the edge of political heresy with this
powerful work. He implies in Hllif of M1ln

of China has affected the rormerly harmonious relationship between men and
women. This imbalance will shake the
heavens.
Zhang )(janliang's second novel Getting Used to Dying, contains even more

in which he had spent more that half of
his life. He suffers from flashbacks of
the execution g rounds, the camps,

This narrator has gotten used to dying, because he had seen so much d eath,
and had come so close to it so often .
Now, he is a man numbed to the subtle

himself in an "easy, carefree life." "To
me," he says, "hurt d iffers from happiness only in the number of strokes necessary to write the character on a piece

every sucessfu llovemaking, he experiences the feeling of being executed.
