‘Heart of the Community’

By Ling-Mei Wong

The Asian Community Development
Corporation’s (ACDC) annual “Heart of
the Community” dim sum breakfast took
place May 1 at the China Pearl in Boston, with about 400 attendees.
“Uncle” Frank Chin received the
Neil Chin Community Service Award for
his many years of Chinatown advocacy.
Dubbed the “mayor of Chinatown,” he
worked to create multiple community
organizations and promoted affordable
housing projects such as Mass Pike
Towers, Tai Tung Village, Waterford
Place and Tremont Village.
“Fifty-some years ago, the expressway took Hudson and Albany streets,
displacing Chinese restaurant workers
to Brookline and Brighton,” Chin said.
“ACDC did such an outstanding job on
affordable housing at One Greenway.
… I’d like to thank my wife [Kathleen
Wong Chin] for 60 years of friendship
and 51 years of marriage.”
Janet Wu of WCVB NewsCenter
5 (WCVB-5) received the Inspiration
Award for her relentless work as a political reporter over the years. “My father
came in the 1920s … he and my mother
kept up with what politicians were saying and what they were doing,” she said.
Gov. Charlie Baker was the keynote
speaker. He proudly showed a $2 red envelope from Chinatown’s 2014 August
Moon Festival he kept for good luck and
said the community’s support helped him
win office.
“If we want to succeed in the community, we need people who’s seen this
move from the ground up,” Baker said of
community leaders like Nam Pham, who
joined his administration.
The event raised funds for the ACDC
A-VOYCE youth leadership program.

Business leaders define China dream
By Kawala Xie
Richard Liu, CEO of JD.com, spoke at the
open ceremony of 2015 Harvard China Forum on April 24. (Image courtesy of Kawala
Xie.)
The three-day 18th annual Harvard
China Forum opened at Harvard University’s Memorial Church on April 24. It
attracted not only Chinese business leaders but also hundreds of students and local business people.
Chinese and American business elites
spoke at the opening ceremony, including the chairman of Hillhouse Capital,
Zhang Lei, and Baker Foundation Professor of Harvard Business School, F.
Warren McFarlan.
Richard Liu, CEO of JD.com, was
the third keynote speaker. He used his
company’s story to encourage oversea
students to return to their homeland as
entrepreneurs. He mentioned that in JD’s
early period, it was frequently questioned by others. But his insight into ecommerce and persistence in “finding
and resolving the problem” earned him a
great success later. He advised would-be
entrepreneurs to be proactive and target
problems, satisfy the market’s needs and
propose solutions.
Liu was optimistic about China’s economic development for the next 30 years.
“This is a great period that is worth fighting for,” he said. He urged students to
change their minds about development
prospects for domestic private enterprises, to contribute to China’s economy.
Followed by the opening ceremony
were nine panel discussions. This year’s
topics examined different industries such
as e-commerce, wealth management,
media and entertainment in the rapidly
developing Chinese economy.
The panel “Envision, expand, and excel: Upgrading media and entertainment”
discussed new trends. Speakers included
Wang Ziwen, CEO of New Classic Media, one of the largest film and television
production and distribution agencies;
Qian Jun, chairman of Junhe Publicity;
Qin Shuo, editor-in-chief of China Business News, and other Chinese media industry professionals.
Qin used the box office records of
movie franchises “Transformers” and
“The Fast and the Furious” in China to
look at its market potential worldwide.
Due to the strong effect of Chinese consumers, the sale of media products is
positive.
Panelists discussed the importance of
focusing media content for the domestic
market. Yan Zhi, chairman of new media
company Zall Development, affirmed
the status of print media in the media
industry. “No matter the means of communication, how the technology and the
situation changes, content is still the first
priority.” He believed that increasing the
effect of Internet media, will make print
media more valuable.

AppreciASIANS gala celebrates
Asian women advocates in health care
By Julia Wong
A group of women gathered at the AppreciASIANS awards gala presented by
Asian Women for Health (AWFH) on
April 30 at the UMass Club of Boston.
AWFH is an organization led by peers
to advocate for Asian women’s health
through education and support. To recognize efforts for change, AWFH presented five awards for different aspects
of health care.
Liz Cheng, general manager of television at WGBH and AWFH’s president
Chien-Chi Huang said data is crucial
for awareness and AWFH’s goal is for
Asian women to “receive the same care
and health care access that all women deserve.”
Keynote speaker Louis Guiterrez,
executive director of Commonwealth
Health Insurance Connector Authority,
spoke of health care accessibility via the
Health Connector and urged attendees to
reach out to the uninsured population to
apply for health insurance.
Liza Talusan received the Peer Award
and recounted her experiences as a breast
cancer “previvor,” who had undergone
surgery to lower her risks of breast and
ovarian cancer and as a mother of a cancer survivor.
For innovation, the award was given
to Dr. Hyeouk “Chris” Hahm, a health
services researcher and an associate professor at Boston University who began a
study entitled Asian Women’s Action for
Resilience and Empowerment (AWARE)
as a part of the Asian-American Women’s Health Initiative Project to assess
how positivism affect Asian women’s
mental health. Also noting health care
disparities, Dr. Elisa Choi sought change
as a clinician and as vice chairperson
of the Asian American Commission of
Massachusetts (AAC). The Provider
award was given to South Cove Community Health Center for years of service in
the Asian community.

Local author Rosana Wan examines
Revolutionary Era food
By Ellen Duong
Local author Rosana Wan. (Image courtesy
of Schiffer Publishing.)
Foodies and history lovers alike gathered to hear author Rosana Wan discuss
her book, “The Culinary Lives of John
and Abigail Adams: A Cookbook,” on
April 30 at the Boston Public Library’s
West End branch. The book consists of
recipes enjoyed by John and Abigail Adams during their 54-year marriage.
Wan’s concept for the book derived
from two seemingly disparate interests
— her love of history and food. As a
history major at Suffolk University, she
took a course on 18th century life. While
deciding on a research project topic, she
came across the 2006 book “My Life in
France,” an autobiography by American
chef Julia Child, and its 2009 film adaptation “Julie and Julia.”
“It really opened my eyes about food,”
said Wan. “I was astounded by [Child’s]
love of food. She later became a celebrity chef, but first and foremost, she was a
culinary teacher.” Inspired, Wan decided
to research and bake 18th century goods
for Suffolk University’s history department.
After graduating from Suffolk, Wan
took a pilgrimage to the John Adams
homestead, where she learned about
politics, the Adams’ dreams of the future
and their ideas for a new nation. “The
missing piece of the puzzle in all of that
is the food,” Wan said. “Samuel Adams
had his beer; Thomas Jefferson had his
macaroni. John and Abigail Adams also
deserved a spotlight in the food world.”
Thus, the idea for her book was born.
Wan did extensive research for her
historical cookbook. She read books
about John and Abigail Adams, as well
as books from the couple’s lifetime, such
as 1747 work “The Art of Cookery Made
Plain and Easy.” Wan looked at countless
letters exchanged between John and Abigail Adams, and other historical figures
to get a sense of their daily life. She also
went to the places they had walked. “I
visited Peacefield in Quincy,” said Wan,
“which was home to a garden where Abigail once planted her vegetables. I went
there to connect with them, to connect
with their past.”
In her research on the Adams’ culinary
lives, Wan found they were strongly influenced by their English roots, as well
as by the different foods they encountered during their travels. “It inspired
what is now known as modern American
culinary culture,” said Wan.
Wan’s book talk was presented as part
of Revolutionary Boston, a citywide
commemoration. She will give another
book talk on June 23 at the Central Library in Copley Square.

About 200 individuals protested a public housing amendment which could negatively affect
immigrants on April 23 at the Statehouse. (Image courtesy of the Massachusetts Immigrant
and Refugee Advocacy Coalition.)
Advocates rally at Statehouse against
housing budget amendment
By the Mass. Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition
More than 200 advocates and immigrants spoke out for victims of domestic violence, U.S. citizen children and
all state residents who would be hurt by
budget amendment #575 on April 23 at
the Statehouse. The amendment was not
passed on April 28.
Introduced by Worcester State Representative Shauna O’Connell, amendment #575 would deny public housing to
anyone without a social security number.
This could potentially deny housing to
torture victims in the process of applying for asylum, families with U.S. citizen
children, and many other classes of immigrants, including victims of domestic
violence. In some cases, these victims
take public housing as a means of escaping their abusers while they apply for immigration visas.
In response, the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition
organized a rally to protest the amendment, along with several others targeting
undocumented immigrants for discrimination. “We’re gathered here to shine
a disinfectant light on anti-immigrant
amendments,” said Shannon Erwin,
State Policy Director at the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy
Coalition.
”Many immigrant survivors have so
few options that they stay in abusive relations,” explained Michaela Moshier,
Legal Advocacy Specialist with HarborCOV. “Access to safe, affordable
housing when these victims are in their
most vulnerable situations can actually
be life-saving.”
Other groups participating in the event
include the Brazilian Women’s Group,
the Irish International Immigrant Center,
the Dominican Women’s Group, U.U.
Mass Action, the Chelsea Collaborative,
the Student Immigrant Movement, the
Boston Homeless Solidarity Committee
and the Boston Tenant’s Coalition.

life to service
Japan Festival took place at the Boston Common on April 26. (Image courtesy of Arturo Gossage.)
By Jie Yan
Someone at my church told me about
an older man who teaches English to
Chinese speakers. The classes are free,
but many churches offer English classes.
However, when I heard he was 90, I was
surprised.
My friend told me I had met him
at church, to which I immediately answered, “No.”
In my imagination, if someone is 90,
he should be weak, have many wrinkles
and great difficulty walking.
Pastor Lei recommended this English
class repeatedly to see the teacher myself. Maybe he is the man’s relative or
friend?
“No, that’s him! How can you think of
it?” Pastor Lei said.
Wow! I could not believe it.
I remembered seeing him at church,
looking to be 70. When we ate together,
I said to him: “You are handsome today!”
“I’m always handsome!” he said.
From the beginning I was surprised by
his age. Our church is at Eastern Nazarene College. Donald Reed teaches us
every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for two hours at a time.
He told me that he likes China, and he
went to China, to train English teachers
at China's Anhui University. My English
classmates told me Mr. Reed donated to
Eastern Nazarene’s library, with a floor
dedicated to him.
Our teacher likes reading, fishing, canoeing, and gardening.
In our teacher’s heart: God is first, others second, himself third.
He is 89 years old this year! My classmate said: “We admire our teacher so
much.”
One of my church friends patted his
chest and said: “Here, he is young!”
Together with our teacher who is soon
to become 90, I not only learn English,
but also grow and move my life.
I salute you, the oldest volunteer!

What is prostate cancer?
By Dr. Srila Gopal and Dr. Paul Mathew, Tufts Medical Center
fected. Along with age, a diet high in fat
has been shown to increase the risk of
death from prostate cancer. The precise
role of different types of diet in affecting prostate cancer are under study but
perhaps changing dietary habits among
Asian immigrants may explain why there
is a rising incidence of the disease.
Normal prostate and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A normal prostate does not block
the flow of urine from the bladder. An enlarged prostate presses on the bladder and urethra
and blocks the flow of urine. (Image courtesy of the National Cancer Institute.)
The prostate gland is a small gland
located just below the urinary bladder
in men. Prostate cancer is caused by an
abnormal growth of cells in the prostate
gland. It is the most common cancer in
men worldwide. In the United States,
there were an estimated 233,000 new
cases in 2014, with an estimated 29,480
deaths. Asian immigrants living in the
United States have a higher incidence of
prostate cancer than those remaining in
their home countries.
What are the symptoms of prostate
cancer?
Men with prostate cancer may not
have any symptoms. The symptoms of
prostate cancer may include frequent urination, especially at night, slow urinary
stream and only rarely blood in the semen or urine. Benign (non-cancerous)
enlargement of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) can have the
same symptoms.
What are the risk factors for getting
this disease?
Prostate cancer is often considered to
be a disease of older men. Most people
diagnosed with this disease are above the
age of 65 but many younger men between
the ages of 40 and 65 years are also af-
By Chandler Kaplan
so hard you become exhausted and remember to roll you face out of the water
when you feel you need air. This can be
practiced in the bath tub! The more often
you practice this, the more comfortable
you will be in the water. It is essential to
breathe steadily when swimming.
Water is everywhere. Water serves
many purposes, such as our health, our
environment and our pleasure. My name
is Chandler Kaplan and I have been
swimming for nearly 20 years. I was a
competitive distance freestyle swimmer
on the University of Massachusetts Amherst Club Swim Team, and I have been a
lifeguard and a swim instructor for seven
years. This article will give you tips on
how to be comfortable and relaxed in the
water.
Tip #1: Stay calm
The biggest mistake you can make is
to panic. Take deep breaths before entering the water and remember that your
body is in control.
Tip #2: Blowing bubbles
Because we need oxygen to breath, it is
scary to be in place where there is none.
I recommend practicing blowing bubbles
in the water so you do not swallow it
when you enter the pool or swimming
facility. Blowing bubbles in the water is
like blowing out candles on a birthday
cake. Never inhale the water, do not blow
How is this disease treated?
Prostate cancer is a very treatable disease at all stages and may be curable if
still localized. Some forms of prostate
cancer do not require any treatment other
than monitoring, as they are not dangerous. Other types can be dangerous and
will require careful treatment planning
and care. At Tufts Medical Center, a
team of doctors including medical oncologists, surgeons and radiation doctors
come together to review the diagnostic
studies to help decide what treatment is
best.
How can we help with this disease?
At Tufts Medical Center, we adopt a
multidisciplinary team to manage prostate cancer; our oncologists are expert in
the fields of genitourinary oncology and
provide high quality care on par with any
other center in the world. Our location in
the heart of Chinatown makes it a priority for us to provide culturally sensitive
care. For more challenging problems of
prostate cancer, enrollment in clinical
studies that offer new treatments with potential breakthrough value is offered.

How is prostate cancer diagnosed?
A doctor will perform a digital rectal
exam that could be very important for
the diagnosis. A blood test called PSA (a
protein known as Prostate Specific Antigen secreted by cancer cells into the
blood) is used to diagnose prostate cancer. The PSA test is performed after discussion with the provider. This test used
to be offered to all men over the age of
50, but the latest guidelines provided by
the United States Preventative Task force
does not recommend screening in everyone. However, if you have symptoms
consistent with the disease, it is advisable to have this checked by a doctor.
Many patients are diagnosed in the
early stage of the disease and do not need
any treatment other than careful monitoring over time. As a result, most people who are diagnosed with this disease
die of an unrelated cause. In higher-risk
forms of early stage disease, the goal of
treatment is curative and survival ranges
up to 80 percent in 10 years.
If the disease spreads to the bone or
other organs, the disease is not curable.
In this case, the goal of care is to control
the disease to extend survival and protect
quality of life.
Tip #3: Floating
Floating is when you are lying flat on
the surface of the water. There is the front
float, where you lay on your stomach and
look at the floor/bottom of the swimming
facility, and the back float, where you lay
on your back, push your belly button up
to the sky and stare up, and spread your
arms like you are pretending to be an airplane. Being comfortable in a front float
is key to learning the strokes, because it
is one of the foundations to being comfortable in water.
Tip #4: Safety first!
Safety is key. Swimming is a wonderful skill to have, but it is one that takes
patience. If you are a beginner, stay in
water that is no higher than your shoulders. When you are at a swimming facility, recognize the lifeguards and your
surroundings.
Are you interested in taking swimming
lessons? It is never too late to learn how
to swim!
Tip #5: Have fun!

Follow traditional Asian diet for
Asian American and Pacific Islander
Heritage Month
By Ka Hei Karen Lau, Joslin Diabetes Center
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month. This is a time to
celebrate our culture, and a good time to
raise awareness about Asian American
health.
Diabetes currently affects 387 million
(8.3 percent) people in the world. Asian
Americans are disproportionately being
affected by the disease, with every 1 in
2 adults either having diabetes or at high
risk of developing diabetes. Up to 95 percent of the diabetes cases found in Asian
Americans are type 2 diabetes — a condition that is caused by the body not being
able to produce enough or properly use insulin, a hormone produced by the body to
use the blood sugar as an energy. Type 2
diabetes can be delayed, or even prevented, through adapting a healthy lifestyle
and maintaining a healthy weight.
Being overweight/obese is one of the
risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. Body mass index (BMI) is often used
to estimate body fatness, and to identify
people who are overweight/obese leading
to a higher risk for diabetes. Asian Americans are considered overweight if their
BMI is 23 kg/m2 or above. This overweight diagnosis is lower than the general
public (25 kg/m2), as Asian Americans
have a higher risk for type 2 diabetes at a
lower body weight. If your BMI is above
23 kg/m2, losing 5 to 10 percent of your
body weight will already show healthy
benefits.
Along with staying active, eating
healthy can help you to lose weight. Researchers at Joslin Diabetes Center have
found that the traditional Asian diet can
help in losing weight, lowering insulin
resistance (a condition in which the body
struggles to use insulin in the body), and
decreasing total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol). A traditional
Asian diet is a high-fiber, low-fat diet, with
70 percent of the calories from carbohydrates (“carbs”), 15 percent from protein
and 15 percent from fat, and providing 15
grams of dietary fiber for every 1,000 calories consumed. Although the diet is high
in carbs, the majority of them are complex
carbs, such as brown rice. Not only can
the diet improve health and lower the risk
for diabetes, those who tried this diet in
the research study found the dishes very
flavorful and appetizing.
You can follow this traditional Asian
diet at home by making small changes to
your recipes. Here are six steps that you
can take:
1. Follow the ratio of 2:1:1 - have 2
portions of vegetable to every portion of
protein (meat, fish or egg) and carbs (rice,
noodles, buns)
2. Choose whole grain products (brown
rice, whole wheat noodles, or whole wheat
mantou) instead of refined grain products
(white rice, regular noodles or mantou)
3. Try some plant-based protein such as
tofu
4. Choose leaner meat products such as
90 percent lean ground beef or pork tenderloin instead of higher-fat meat products
(pork belly, pig feet or chicken feet)
5. Remove visible fat (remove chicken
skin)
6. Use less oil and condiments such as
salt or soy sauce when preparing a meal
Internist Robert Wu spoke to seniors about osteoporosis at Empire Garden on April 29. (Image courtesy of Ling-Mei Wong.)
Local seniors learn about
bone health in Chinatown
By Ling-Mei Wong
A seminar on bone health took place
April 29 at Empire Garden. More than
200 seniors attended the event.
Internist Robert Wu told the seniors in
Cantonese about real-life osteoporosis
cases. One of his female patient broke
her hand closing her fridge, after going
through menopause two years earlier
and losing bone density. Another female
patient had such advanced osteoporosis
that her thighbone broke when her son
carried her down the stairs.
“Osteoporosis is a silent disease,”
Wu said. “You do not experience many
symptoms in the beginning, but it can become serious later on.”
Osteoporosis affects men and women,
as bones lose density and do not grow
back as quickly, Wu said. Seniors can
lose up to an inch in height, resulting in
stooping and increased risk of bone fracture.
For women, they can lose 20 percent
of their bone density after menopause,
Wu said. Women over 50 have 50 per-
cent chance of bone fracture, with 1.5
million fractures in America each year. If
individuals do break a bone, their risk of
dying increases 20 percent.
“Chinese Americans are especially
at risk for osteoporosis,” Wu said. Risk
factors for Asians include insufficient
calcium, lactose intolerance and smaller
bones for women.
Wu urged the seniors to manage their
osteoporosis risk through diet, exercise
and medicine. Individuals should take vitamin D and calcium supplements, while
avoiding sodium, as it affects bone density. Smoking also has a negative effect
on bone density, while exercise builds
bones. For severe osteoporosis, medications should be discussed with a doctor,
Wu said.
The event was organized by pharmaceutical company Amgen and the Greater
Boston Chinese Golden Age Center, and
sponsored by the National Osteoporosis
Foundation and the Chinese Women’s
Association of New England.

Book Review: ‘The Freedom...Cage’
by Luong Ung-Lai
By Kenny Yim
Bring a strong head and soft heart
when you read Luong Ung-Lai’s “The
Freedom...Cage.” Although the production costs for the book were low, Lai’s
story of deep personal loss is not just
about economic loss. This book is mostly set during the reign of the terrifying
Khmer Rouge. “The Freedom...Cage”
is about paying tribute to loss in all its
forms, but mostly to pay tribute to the
whole family — her own, as well as that
of all who labor under autocratic rule.
Ung-Lai begins her book with a tribute
in pictures. Following her cultural tradition, Ung-Lai puts a portrait of her mother, Keem, since the book is dedicated to
her, followed by Ung-Lai’s grandfather,
Wong Lai. The book then moves into a
brief explanation of Cambodian culture
and history, but the story really begins
on Feb. 13, 1964, around the time of
the Lunar New Year, when Ung-Lai was
born.
Midway in the book, there is a short
mention of Moy’s father, in her mother’s
recollection: “When you five month old,
Luck [the father] come home. He buy
two tiny dress for you. He take you to
picture booth and take your picture. You
too little to sit. He pull your dress back
behind chair, to hold you up. He stay few
day. Then he want to take us to Phnom
Penh with him. But I not want to go.”
The novel itself is a slim 120 pages,
but we learn that this is merely the first
part of a longer story. At first, I was
afraid that Ung-Lai would concentrate
solely on the pain and suffering of living
through the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.
Rather than allow dry facts and numbers
to dictate her story, however, Ung-Lai
instead transforms her life experiences,
as she says, into fiction. Through the
persona of Moy, meaning younger sister,
Ung-Lai tells her story with a voice that
appears almost child-like, particular with
the use of broken English, yet is anything
but simple. For instance, the characters
refer to each other as buddy big brother
and sister, which could sound unassuming to those unaware of the way these
terms were used by the powerful to control the weak.
The story moves in fragmentary episodes, mimicking memory in the way the
novel jumps narratives from one chapter
to the next. We go from focusing on radio programs that broadcast mass eviction notices to laying down with the
characters in shelters with hammocks
tangled in mosquito nets and no indoor
plumbing. Grandpa Wong, mother Keem
and Moy spend their days fetching water
from wells, rationing handfuls of salt and
working on farms separated from each
other. And then there’s the constant fear
of the Black Shirts, a band of law enforcers. It’s a hard and brutal life, interrupted only for the briefest moments by
kind souls and a gentle rabbit that comes
across Moy’s path in the forest.
The book begins and ends with many
“Spirit Stands,” a common tradition
found across Asian households with a
portrait hung in front of a table of offerings, including fruit and incense. Like a
book, it doesn’t move. So, Ung-Lai also
ends with an image of a bird. It could
be a vulture, or an eagle, or it could be
a hawk, “looking a bit stronger” day by
day. Read this story to gain strength.
Screen shot of Chai Jing and her daughter's sonogram from her documentary “Under the
Dome.” (Image from “Under the Dome.”)
‘Under the Dome’ examines
China's pollution problems
By Beth Kelly
China’s government has taken baby
steps toward greater freedom of expression from the Chinese citizenry, but censorship quickly reared its head when a
popular documentary like ” Under the
Dome” came along. The same government that supported the film at first later
blocked all domestic access to the documentary, which deals with China’s rampant pollution, after it went viral.
The “dome” refers to the dome of pollution enveloping China’s major cities
like Beijing, as well as being a play on the
translated name of Stephen King’s novel
of the same name. The Chinese documentary, made by former news anchor
Chai Jing, focuses on severe pollution
problems she and her unborn daughter
dealt with living in Beijing. The combination of overpopulation and lax enforcement of pollution laws have created
the perfect scenario for stifling pollution
caused by burning huge amounts of coal
to feed China’s power needs. The demand for electricity in one of the world’s
most populous countries puts China’s
leadership in the difficult position of balancing a healthier environment without
slowing economic growth. Even as its
economy slows down, China’s growth is
still among the strongest in the world.
Chinese smog has a high quantity of
particulate matter. The tiny particles —
many 1/30th the diameter of a human
hair — make their way into the lungs
of those breathing the smog-laden air.
The particles that end up embedded in a
person’s lungs can cause a host of health
problems, including heart disease and
diabetes. This hit home in a personal
way when a sonogram showed Chai’s
unborn child had a benign tumor. Like
many Beijing residents, Chai thought the
cloudy air was nothing more than fog.
As she covered environmental issues as
a reporter, she realized how dangerous
the air pollution actually was.
For countries like China and India, for
the overall benefit of each country, maintaining a healthy environment should go
hand in hand with accelerated economic
growth.

Boston’s panda
By Kevin Freeley
Image courtesy of Xiao Tong.
Boston is getting a panda! No, it is not
coming to the Franklin Park Zoo — but
it is coming to another park — Fenway
Park. This winter, the Boston Red Sox
signed “Kung Fu Panda” Pablo Sandoval, a 28-year-old third baseman. A
native of Venezuela, he was given this
nickname as a player in San Francisco
for his resemblance to the Dreamworks
character of the same name.
While Sandoval’s physique is more
Kung Fu Panda than that of a trim athlete, this is not uncommon in baseball.
Baseball is more of a highly skilled sport
than one of conditioning. One of the greatest
basketball players ever,
Michael Jordan, failed
in his attempt to switch
over to play professional baseball.
Sandoval may look
round like a panda, yet
he is a highly skilled
athlete. He is a twotime All-Star and was
named Most Valuable
Player in the 2012
World Series. In this
championship series,
he became just the
fourth player to ever
hit three home runs in
a World Series game.
The Panda signed a
five-year contract with
the Red Sox for $95
million. This is just one
of the reasons that Fenway Park is the most
expensive park in Major League Baseball.
While he has not had a
good spring season, hitting around 200, it
is not unusual for a hitter to only get hot
as the season progresses. We all remember Boston winning the World Series in
2013. However, they also finished last in
their division in 2012 and 2014, becoming the first MLB team to go from worst
to first to worst. During those “worst”
years of 2012 and 2014, Sandoval was
winning the World Series as a member
of the San Francisco Giants. So the question is, will Panda Power will make a big
difference in Boston this year?

Pie Polat, founder of the Uyghur Kitchen food truck. It is the only Uyghur food truck in the nation. (Image courtesy of Ling-Mei Wong.)
Food truck brings authentic
Uyghur food to Boston
By Ling-Mei Wong
Food truck Uyghur Kitchen celebrated its first year in Boston this April. As
the only Uyghur food truck in America,
founder Payzulla “Pie” Polat is thrilled
to showcase his native cuisine.
“People think it’s ‘Yogurt’ Kitchen instead of ‘wee-gur’ Kitchen,” Polat said.
“They ask if we’re Greek.”
The Uyghur people of China’s Xinjiang province are a Turkic minority
among a Han population. Xinjiang’s remote northwest corner borders Mongolia
and India, making it a key route on the
Silk Road.
Polat’s menu includes lamb and chicken kebab, paired with salad, rice pilaf
and nan wraps— similar to Greek gyros.
“For our lamb, we don’t add as much
seasoning and marinate it to let the meat
shine through,” Polat said. He sources
organic halal meat from Australia and
New Zealand for the best flavor.
Uyghur Kitchen came from Polat’s
nostalgia for his hometown flavors. He
grew up in Urumqi and joined rock band
Gray Wolf when he was 15. As a bassist,
Polat toured globally with Gray Wolf.
Polat came to Los Angeles in 2008 to
study music, later moving to Boston to
study music production and engineering
at Berklee College of Music. He hankered for a taste of home and looked into
the food business.
“Everybody has to eat and you get
tired of burgers, sushi,” Polat said. “Food
is a unique and positive way to introduce
culture to people.”
Polat’s daytime hours depends on the
truck’s location. At night, he plays bass
for jazz rock band Background Orcs,
which performs up to 25 gigs a year. He
also is the proud father of two, sharing
child care responsibilities with his mother and wife.
“I have a busy schedule, but it’s fun,”
Polat said. “Life is good.”
