Raymond Wong
404 Third Avenue, San Diego, 92101
Cost: Free - $4
For much of his life, Raymond M. Wong pretended he wasn’t Chinese. He didn’t speak his native language, Cantonese. He didn’t date Asian women, and he pushed away his mom because she mirrored a culture of which he wanted no part.
In 1996, he went back to Hong Kong for the first time since the age of five. He met a father and family he didn’t know, and in the process he found healing and embraced forgiveness. His memoir, I’m Not Chinese: The Journey from Resentment to Reverence, is about a trip that changed his life. RSVP: [email protected] or 619-338-9888.
