Dreaming Hand-in-Hand: An Intergenerational Chinatown Zine

Dreaming Hand in Hand: An Intergenerational Chinatown Zine

And there are no new pains. We have felt them all already. We have hidden that fact in the same place where we have hidden our power. They lie in our dreams, and it is our dreams that point the way to freedom.

– Audre Lorde, “Poetry is Not a Luxury” (1985)

這裡沒有新的傷痛。所有的傷痛，我們都已感受過了。

我們埋藏這個事實的地方，正正埋藏著我們的力量。

它們在我們的夢裡，而正是我們的夢，指引了自由的方向。

- 奥黛麗·洛德 《詩歌不是奢侈品》(1985)

Foreword

What is Chinatown? A space? A vision?

A dream? As a community forged by legislated scarcity, we have always refused to accept the hand we have been dealt. While people have come and gone from the neighbourhood, there seems to be something that always tethers us to Chinatown.

Though Chinatown is changing due to rapid gentrification, we continue to witness the power that community holds to heal, dream, and resist. Perhaps, this is the magic that holds Chinatown together. We recognize that before Chinatown, communities have thrived on these lands since time immemorial. As settlers, we continue to hold these complexities and reflect on what it means to dream alongside our Black, Indigenous, and racialized neighbours.

This project marked the beginning of Yarrow’s return to in-person connections, outside of service provision, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. We were moved by the surge of energy and excitement from seniors and youth to connect and create together. Through creative expression, youth and seniors documented an important time in history while also showing us the path forward. It was our honour to hold space and witness this process .

We would like to thank all the youth and senior contributors for teaching us that we do not need permission to dream.

We hope this zine brings joy and hope to all those who encounter it.

Thank you for reading and dream on, Rachel Lau and Beverly Ho

Foreword 前言

唐人街是什麼？一個空間？一個願景？一個 夢？唐人街作為一個社區，是因立法所導致 的資源匱乏而生，但我們從不逆來順受。儘 管人們來來去去，這裡總是有些什麼將我

們和唐人街緊緊連繫在一起。

儘管唐人街因快速「仕紳化」而改變，但我

們持續地看見這個社群所擁有的力量，並 以此力量去療癒、築夢、抵抗。或許，是這 個魔力將唐人街凝聚在一起。我們深知在

唐人街存在以前，各個社群便已在這塊土 地上茁長了不知有多久。身為定居者，我們 將此複雜性謹記於心，明白我們在築夢的 同時，總是與黑人、原住民、被種族化的鄰 友並肩，而我們不斷省思此一意義。

這個小誌創作企劃有特殊的意義，它是世 代同行會從2020年新冠肺炎至今，在服務 項目的提供之外，從線上互動重返面對面 連結的標誌。對於長者與青年洋溢的熱情， 以及他/她們如此興奮地相互認識和共同創 作，我們深受感動。透過創作，青年與長者 不但共同記錄了歷史上一段重要時光，同時 更向我們揭示了前方的道路。對於我們能 夠提供這樣的空間，並見證這創作的過程， 我們倍感榮幸。

感謝所有的小誌貢獻者，無論是青年或長 者，他/她們讓我們體認到我們不需任何人 的許可便可自由築夢。我們希望這份小誌 能夠為讀者帶來喜悅與希望。

感謝您的閱讀，並希望您持續築夢。

藝術家簡介

AMY NOFECH-YANG: Amy is an elementary school teacher who recently relocated to Vancouver. As a daughter to a Taiwanese mother and a Jewish father, she has always been interested in learning about diasporic communities and social justice. Naturally, this interest was formed during her teenage years and continues to be cultivated as she looks for opportunities to participate in cultural events as well as community-building opportunities. As a life-long learner, she intends to continue to incorporate these experiences into creating a socially conscious and culturally responsive classroom.

楊以珍: 楊以珍是一位小學教師，剛搬 到溫哥華不久。作為一個台灣母親和猶 太父親的女兒，她一直對流散社群與社 會正義的相關議題抱持興趣。這個興趣 在她的青少女時期成形，並透過參與文 化活動與社群營造，持續受到滋養。作 為一個終身學習者，她將持之以恆地結 合這些經驗，打造一個有社會意識與文 化回應的課堂。

AMY YUAN: The title of my work is “My Life In Canada.” I have been living in Canada for 15 years. I am from Hangzhou, a place renowned for its beautiful scenery. In Hangzhou, there is a gorgeous lake, called West Lake. Around the lake, there is one willow tree and one peach tree. When the spring comes, the weeping willow dances in the wind, and the peach tree blossoms freely. The reflection in the West Lake is as lovely as a young lady, enchanting everyone with its heavenly beauty. There are also soaring mountains in Hangzhou, such as Lantau Peak (or Phoenix Mountain), Baoshi Mountain, and City God Mountain. In the lake, there are “Three Pools Mirroring the Moon.” Alongside the lake, there is Broken Bridge, Six Suspension Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda,

Lingyin Temple, Xixi Wetland, etc. The viewpoints are countless. It would be the best to see with your own eyes. I have become a citizen in Canada. Recently, I have been actively participating in many community events, such as volunteering at the Sun Wah Centre and Downtown Eastisde Women’s Centre, engaging in senior activities, dancing, and practicing Tai Chi. I have also been attending morning exercises with Yarrow, taking part in the events organized by Ms. Chow, reading books, enjoying lantern displays, learning English at the Women’s Centre, making handcrafts, and drawing. That is to say, living in Canada, I am very happy and satisfied. I appreciate all the concerns and care from people in Canada, and I am confident that tomorrow will always be better.

袁靜: 我的標題是「生活在加拿大的 我」。我在加拿大已經生活了十五年，本 人來自世界文明的、終極美麗的杭州， 有一個美麗的、非常漂亮的西湖，環湖 有一支楊柳一支桃，春天到的時候，倒 掛著綠色楊柳，在風中蕩漾，粉紅色的 桃花，自由地綻放著；綠湖水的倒映，如 少女般漂亮、美麗、可人，把人們不知不 覺地陶醉在美景中，享受人間天堂的美。

杭州城中還有高高的山，叫鳳凰山、寶 樹山、城隍山等；湖中還有三潭印月，邊 上有斷橋、六吊橋、雷峰塔、靈隱寺、西 溪濕地等，反正是勝不勝數，有機會親 身體驗最好。

我自從來到加拿大後，現在已經入籍 在加拿大。近幾年，我積極地參加很多 的社區活動，像新華中心作義工、婦女 社區作社區義工，並參加老年活動、跳 舞、太極等；世代同行組織的早鍛練，還 有參加周小姐搞的活動，看書、看燈展 等；婦女中心組織的學英語、做手工、畫 畫、看燈展等活動。所以說，我生活在加 拿大，每天過得開心、很滿足。我在這裡 非常感謝加拿大和各界人士的關心和愛 護，所以我有信心，相信明天會更好。

ARIEL ZHANG: Ariel is a first generation Chinese Canadian born in Chongqing, China. She spent much of her early years in East Vancouver and Chinatown frequenting Dim Sum restaurants with her parents. She has been a lover of poetry, art and science since she was young. She recently graduated from UBC with a degree in Biochemistry and is currently working as a Research Associate. During her spare time, she loves writing about her feelings and experiences as a member of the Chinese diaspora. She also loves to read, do yoga and make pottery.

張若瑜: 張若瑜為第一代華裔加拿大 人，出生於中國重慶。在她的早年生涯 中，她常與父母造訪溫東與唐人街的點 心餐廳。打從青年時期，她便喜愛詩歌、 藝術、科學。她最近剛從卑詩大學取得 生物化學學位，現為研究人員。閒暇時 她喜愛書寫，書寫內容為身為一位華裔 移民的情感與經驗。她也喜愛閱讀、瑜 伽、陶藝。

BUFFY CHEN: Buffy’s introduction to the world of Zines occurred because a dear friend of hers included it on a holiday wish list. As someone who has a love for stories and art, Buffy found that Zines offer the perfect combination of the two to provide an authentic space for artists, creatives, and ordinary folks alike to share their voice on issues that matter to them. She hopes that the world of Zines can also offer you, the reader, an opportunity to use your voice and/or find a shared connection within the published stories.

如如: 如如之所以會踏進小誌創作的世 界，是因為一位好友將小誌創作列入 假期願望清單。作為故事與藝術的愛 好者，如如發現小誌創作完美結合了兩 者，提供一個真誠的空間給藝術家、創 作家、一般大眾，讓他們得以在自己重 視的議題上發聲。她希望小誌創作的世

界也能夠提供給你（讀者）一個機會， 讓你可以表達自己的想法，並在故事中 找到共有的連結。

LARKIN CHEN: I’m a 1.5th generation immigrant-settler. My family is Han and Hakka, from Sichuan, Canton, and other southern provinces. I’m new to Vancouver’s Chinatown community, but grew up hanging out, volunteering, and performing traditional dance in Calgary’s Chinatown. This was my first zine-making as an adult - and I’m grateful for this experience. I loved drawing and storytelling as a child, but lost touch with art during schooling. These days, I’m delighting in exploring and playing with art making again.

陳 㬢: 我是第一點五代的移民定居者， 家族為來自四川、廣東、其他南方省份 的漢人與客家人。我剛到溫哥華的唐人 街社區不久，但我在卡加利華埠唐人街 成長、閒晃、當志工、表演傳統舞蹈。這 是我第一次以成年人的身份進行小誌創 作，而且我很感謝這個經驗。在孩童時 期，我十分喜歡繪畫與說故事，但在就 學時期與藝術漸行漸遠。最近我開始再 次探索與創作藝術，並從中得到喜悅。 驗，以及她在這裡建立的生活。

Ultimately, Mo’s practice explores themes surrounding how a wounded individual’s psyche is formed, informed, and reformed, and in return, attracts and sustains

collective healing.

術創作得以完成，同時亦與內在療癒所

需的勞力與支持相互輝映。最終而言，

巫嘉維的創作實踐探索以下相關主題：

一個受傷的個體，其靈魂如何成形、形 塑、形變，並在最後喚引與支持集體性 療癒。

I attended school in Strathcona and Chinese school at the Cultural Center on the weekends, visited my great grandma and maternal grandmother who also lived in the area. Some of my most memorable times were early mornings spent with my dad at The Boss, drinking a hot HK tea with a Bo Lo Bao fresh from the oven. I remember everyone knew my dad as he was a bit of a local celebrity in the neighbourhood and that always made me proud to sit with him. Having children of my own now, I realized how I want them to experience a piece of this nostalgic Vancouver Chinatown. I’m so grateful that programs like Yarrow exist to help keep it alive for generations to come.
