007- Fresh Off The Boat
Amy Yvonne Yu is an immigrant who came to America at the young age of 10 by herself on a plane. She considers herself the most culturally confused person she knows: British, born in Hong Kong, lives in California, born to a traditional Chinese family, "adopted" by hippies that ran the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics, and raised herself since the age of 19 due to extreme negligence from her biological family. While her story is on the extreme spectrum, this is the story of many willing/unwilling immigrants worldwide. In this episode, she breaks down all the hardships of being an immigrant and the history of her ancestor coming to America fresh off the boat during the Cultural Revolution. It would be this same ancestor who escaped a life of human trafficking that sealed Amy's fate here in California. She also speaks to the effects of the trauma of a generation of Chinese that fled China during the Cultural Revolution and how that impacts lives in Hong Kong to this date.
