As a classically-trained pianist born in China, I believe it& #39;s impossible to tell Lang Lang& #39;s story without an intimate understanding of Chinese culture + the impact of the Cultural Revolution on artists & intellectuals + the effects of Western imperialism. Just saying.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧐" title="Gesicht mit Monokel" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Monokel"> https://twitter.com/THR/status/1308435988625195015">https://twitter.com/THR/statu...

I& #39;m not saying this because I want to direct this movie. I do not. I just don& #39;t think these are the artists to grapple w/ the cultural specificities of Northeast China where Lang Lang (and my family) are from. Or w/ the cultural aspect of the physical violence in his upbringing.

Have we learned NOTHING from Mulan? I haven& #39;t said anything because yes representation and many people I love are involved, but I just have to. Just HAVE to. Because 2020 man... and I& #39;m fucking exhausted.
