In this project, I appropriate video clips from movie tailors, movie clips, news, and documentary to create a brand-new story. Protecting our environment seems to be far away from us. But it is not. President Trump even decided to cut the EPA. So, I think it is worthwhile to do a project about it.

Though we have a lot of movies addressing the environment issue, movie tends to tell a story about how a hero saves earth or resolve a crisis. It gives people a sense there will be someone who can save us when we have trouble. However, the truth is no one can save us if don’t start to protect our earth. We need everyone’s effort to preserve a livable space for our next generation.

The topic of my project is Chinese Exclusion Act. I did not even know this happened in our history before this project. Since the topic is sad and historical, I primarily focus on using other people’s voice, for example, the comments from scholar and historian, and the sound from government.

The project follows the timeline of the whole event. It starts from introduction. Lots of Chinese came to U.S. for the Gold and later stayed in U.S. and many of them were employed as a railroad worker. However, many people were afraid of these Chinese worker. Thus, at 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was approved. It prohibited the immigration of all Chinese. Even those who had already obtained a green card or even were born in U.S has to go through many troubles and process to re-enter the U.S. I initially decided to interview Prof. Woo in Chemical Engineering department. But it happens way before he even was born. So I turn to some online source. And I include the part of interview of Chinese historian Connie Young Yu about the experience of her grandmother and grandfather.

Later, U.S. Congress formally apologies for the Chinese Exclusion Act at 2012. Interestingly, we still observe some similar restriction of entering U.S. targeting to certain group of people. But we do see more protest from people while more than 100 years ago, almost no one will speak for Chinese. I believe this is a progress for the society. However, we still have a very long way to go.

After posting it to the social media, my Chinese friends were shocking. Because they didn’t know about the Act at all. I think there are two main reasons. Firstly, this happens more than 100 years ago. It is not even related to our parents. Secondly, the media in China does not say too much about it. Xinhua news agent did write a report about U.S. congress apologized for the Act. But I (and my friends) didn’t remember or read about it at all. Besides it, many people address this Act with the recent President Trump’s immigration ban.

The main theme of this assignment is food waste. Every time I go to grocery store. I end up either buying too much food or even buying something completed unnecessary. Every once a while, I have to throw away some expired food from the refrigerator and some of them even left unopened. So I decide to do this project to remind myself (or other people like me) not to buy too much food and don’t waste food.

I got some likes from others. Some of them didn’t realize what I was doing. I think adding a title might be a good thing for posting on social media because people won’t spend too much on your post.

I decided to post the above picture. Some people didn’t recognize the “lie” in the photo at first. They just liked the picture and said the chicken is really cute. But some people do understand what is going on or realize it after reading some comments posted by other people. Everyone knows the photo is not true. Some people said it is really good job. They didn’t find any obvious sign of retouching while other people just asked what app did I use.
