Conversation with the Filmmakers: Who Killed Vincent Chin?, June 15, 2022

In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Vincent Chin, PBS Books, in collaboration with DPTV, is pleased to host an important conversation about "Who Killed Vincent Chin?" with Filmmakers Christine Choy and Renee Tajima-Peña, along with executive producer Professor Juanita Anderson and attorney/activist Jim Shimoura. The conversation will be moderated by William Kubota, a Senior Producer at Detroit Public Television’s One Detroit.

Join us to understand more about the process of creating this incredible documentary film, the challenges and obstacles the filmmakers needed to overcome, and the importance of the film. In addition, you can expect to learn about the film’s relevancy against today’s current climate; the role of this documentary film in Asian American and Pacific Islander history, and the activism from the 1980s to today. Given recent Asian American discrimination and hate crimes in the last few years, we encourage a broad audience to join this program to learn about this important documentary film 40 years later.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS:

Filmmaker Christine Choy was born in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, and grew up in Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and the United States. As an educator, artist and pioneer Asian American filmmaker, she has produced, directed, and photographed works in various forms. Choy has made more than eighty-five films and received over sixty international awards. She has been a recipient of numerous fellowships, among them: John Simon Guggenheim, Rockefeller, Asian Cultural Council, Fulbright Senior Research, and an award for best cinematography from the Sundance International Film Festival. Choy’s latest collaborative documentary film, "The Exiles" won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2022.

Choy was trained in architecture, but later studied directing at the American Film Institute to become a filmmaker. Her work is concerned with discrimination and migration issues. In addition to the Academy Award-nominated co-directed "Who Killed Vincent Chin?" (1987), Choy also directed "From Spikes to Spindles" (1976) which focuses on Chinese migrant workers. Her works have been broadcasted on HBO, PBS, Sundance Channel, Lifetime, NHK, and many other stations and featured in festivals all over the world. She is the founding director of Third World Newsreel and School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong, a member of Project Vetting committee of the Film Development Fund, Hong Kong, and a member of AMPAS (Academy of Motion Pictures and Science of United States of America). Choy is currently a Professor of Film and Television at NYU’s Tisch School of Arts and has taught at Yale, Cornell, and SUNY Buffalo.

Filmmaker Renee Tajima-Peña was born in Chicago, Illinois. Her grandparents moved from Japan during the Asian Exclusion Era in the early 1900s. She is known for her films "No Más Bebés" (2015), "Calavera Highway" (2010) and "My America… or Honk If You Love Buddha" (1997). Tajima-Peña is a Harvard University alumna and majored in East Asian Studies and sociology. She is heavily involved with the Asian American movement and the Civil Rights Movement.

Her work focuses on issues of immigration, race, gender, and social justice and has been screened internationally and at festivals such as Cannes Film Festival and Sundance Film Festival. Tajima-Peña most recently produced a five-part PBS series "Asian Americans" (2020). She is currently a Professor of Asian American Studies at UCLA.

ABOUT THE FEATURED GUESTS:

Juanita Anderson is a veteran producer, director, and documentary filmmaker who has amassed a significant body of work in public television and independent media. A native of Detroit, she is currently Associate Professor of Teaching and Area Head of Media Arts and Studies in the Department of Communication at Wayne State University. 

As Executive Producer of Cultural Affairs and Special Projects at Detroit Public Television from 1982-1988, she developed and oversaw the production of "Who Killed Vincent Chin?". She was also the executive producer of groundbreaking PBS news and public affairs specials focused on highlighting Black America, as well as other important social issues. She is currently the Resident Artist in Media Arts at The Carr Center in Detroit.

He has received numerous civic awards.

Introduction!

Heyo! My name is Marcello Laudato and this is my second semester at SUNY Orange. I graduated from Washingtonville High School. So far I am focusing on a New Media major, but I’m not sure where I’ll go from here. My ultimate goal is to be an animator and I would like to be a voiceover actor in my own animations. Outside of college, I spend most of my time drawing and taking online animation classes. Last October, I entered in a mural competition which turned out to be an amazing experience. Being outdoors during the pandemic (after being “locked indoors”) and working with other artists was priceless. My mural came in second place, but I didn’t look at it as a competition. It was about learning from other artists. I also enjoy cooking as a hobby, and of course for survival. I don’t play video games often, but the last game I played was Super Smash Ultimate with a group of friends. I am currently reading The Illusion of Life: By Disney Animation and it’s interesting to read about the animation process and the amount of work spent on animations. The latest movie I saw was 1917 (which was an outstanding movie - I highly recommend it!) I am looking forward to seeing Godzilla vs. Kong (Godzilla is going to win - I just know it.) A TV series I recently finished watching was Mandolorian and I’m currently watching JuJu Kaisen. Latest thing I created (well, I’m still working on) is a profile picture that a friend commissioned for. I’m still exploring with the colors for the avatar he requested. I’m a Type 1 Diabetic, so carbs are my enemy most of the time. For my last meal it would be carb overloaded miso ramen, shrimp tempura roll, California roll, and a huge side of white rice. I would take my time and savor the moment to truly enjoy all the flavors. I am really looking forward to this semester and making new friends would be an added bonus.

Brute Force: Animal Horror Movies (SUNY series, Horizons of Cinema), by Dominic Lennard, Paperback Edition, State University of New York Press , 2020. Info: sunypress.edu.

Considers how dangerous beasts in horror films illuminate the human-animal relationship. It’s always been a wild world, with humans telling stories of killer animals as soon as they could tell stories at all. Movies are an especially popular vehicle for our fascination with fierce creatures. In Brute Force, Dominic Lennard takes a close look at a range of cinematic animal attackers, including killer gorillas, sharks, snakes, bears, wolves, spiders, and even a few dinosaurs. Lennard argues that animal horror is not so much a focused genre as it is an impulse, tapping into age-old fears of becoming prey. At the same time, these films expose conflicts and uncertainties in our current relationship with animals. Movies considered include King Kong, Jaws, The Grey, Them!, Arachnophobia, Jurassic Park, Snakes on a Plane, An American Werewolf in London, and many more. Drawing on insights from film studies, art history, cognitive science, and evolutionary psychology, Brute Force is an engaging critical exploration—and appreciation—of cinema’s many bad beasts.

Powder rises from a compact, platters full of peppermints,             a bowl of sour pudding. A cup of milk before me tastes of melted almonds. It is the story of the eve of my beginning. Gifts for me: boxes of poppies, pocket knife, an elaborate necklace made of ladybugs.

Dr. Shing Chi Leung, SUNY Poly assistant professor of physics, in collaboration with Mr. Chun-Ming Yip, Dr. Ming-Chung Chu and Dr. Lap-Ming Lin, from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, have discovered that the explosion of a low-mass neutron star can be the alternative cosmic source for lanthanides and other heavy elements, including precious metals such as gold and platinum. Their study has been published in The Astrophysical Journal.

Getting to Know...Steve Weiner: On A Roll

Don’t let Steve Weiner get near your kitchen.

When he’s not working as a Senior Budget Director for the New York Power Authority, Weiner spends a lot of time with frying pans. Rolling them up. With his bare hands.

Why?

Why not? For the otherwise mild-mannered Weiner it’s fun. And it’s also earned him a spot in the 2015 Guinness Book of World Records for rolling 12 pans in a minute, a record, it should be noted, he’s, um, already crushed.

Weiner recently spoke about his unconventional claim to fame.

How did you first get interested in crushing frying pans?

I read a book called the “Mighty Atom,” the true story of Joseph Greenstein, a Strongman from the early 20th century. The book inspired me to attend a meeting of the Association of Old Time Barbell and Strongmen, which featured modern-day Strongmen performing all kinds of feats of strength, including bending horseshoes and spikes, and breaking chains. The experience awakened something in me.

When did you begin performing?

For several years I practiced many different kinds of feats of strength privately—mostly lifting heavy objects. In 2004, I was invited by the association to make my debut.

Why frying pans?

A friend I met on the Strongman circuit showed me how. I sprained my wrist a few times, but I got pretty good at it.

Do you have a special kind of frying pan you like to use?

I’m obligated to use commercially available aluminum pans. I get them for about $8 each. I estimate that I’ve spent somewhere between five and six thousand dollars on pans since I first started.

When did you set your sight on getting in the Guinness Book of World Records?

I’ve always wanted to be in the Guinness book. When I was a student at SUNY Albany, the student government sponsored a Guinness Day, and I participated in many events designed to break records, including a new one for world’s largest game of musical chairs. I also once tried to set a record by attempting to eat more than 20 quarter-pound hamburgers in 20 minutes. I was only able to eat 11.

When I started to get good at rolling pans, I was contacted by casting agents for a program called “Guinness Book of World Records Unleashed,” where contestants would try to break records before a live audience. At the time, the record for rolling frying pans was eight in one minute. 

Tell us about your trip to China.

I was contacted in December of 2014 by a promoter putting together a show of Guinness record holders at the Venetian Casino and Hotel in Macau, a part of China near Hong Kong that’s the largest gambling center in the world. Two Guinness judges were going to be in attendance. I watched video of my previous performances. Using time and motion studies, I figured out places where I could gain valuable seconds. Fortunately, I beat my own record and rolled 14 pans in one minute.

What’s your secret?

These feats of strength are as much about mental fortitude as they are about physical force. You have to believe you can do it. I really like tackling something that seems impossible. It’s a habit that’s been useful in my professional life as well. I never dreamed my quirky little hobby would turn into something this big. It’s been a lot of fun, but I’m not finished. Records are made to be broken.

The Legendary Chinese Seafarer the West Overlooks

In the 1400s, Zheng He sailed thousands of miles around Asia and Africa in ships the size of soccer fields, spreading Chinese innovations like compasses and gunpowder in the process.

​​The Chinese admiral Zheng He must have made quite the impression when the 300 ships under his command arrived at a new destination. The biggest vessels, known as “treasure ships,” were by some estimates longer than a soccer field. Their rigging was festooned with yellow flags, sails dyed red with henna, hulls painted with huge, elaborate birds. Accompanying them were an array of support boats, including oceangoing stables for horses, aqueous farms for growing bean sprouts to keep scurvy away, and water taxis for local transportation. The 15th century citizens who received him in what are now Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, India, Kenya, and Yemen had never seen anything like it.

And that was before the 28,000 inhabitants of Zheng’s ships debarked to establish trade relations with the local government. They came bearing luxuries, from tools (axes, copper basins, porcelain) to cloth (fans, umbrellas, velvet) to food (lychees, raisins, salted meats). In return, they received tribute goods to carry back to China, including spices and precious stones and—on a few notable occasions—ostriches, elephants, and giraffes.

Almost a century before Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus made voyages that kicked off the era of European colonialism, Zheng spent three decades plying the waters between China and the East Coast of Africa, setting up diplomatic relationships that would reshape Asian life. His seven expeditions challenged what humans could do at sea, pushing the limits with their boats’ size, complexity, and capacity for long-distance travel.

Zheng’s influence might have been yet more outsized if geopolitical pressures hadn’t changed China instead. But his legacy still lives on from the Swahili coast to Yemen, Calcutta to Hong Kong. Michael Yamashita, a photographer and contributor to National Geographic, spent several years writing a book and producing a multipart documentary on the Chinese mariner. “He was the greatest explorer that the world had never heard of,” Yamashita says.

Zheng (known in early life as both Ma Sanbao and Ma He) was born around 1371 in Southwest China, his family part of a Muslim ethnic minority in an area still controlled by Mongols of the recently toppled Yuan dynasty. The battles that marked the transition from Yuan to Ming dynasty in the area were brutal and bloody. During one, Zheng (who was still a boy) saw his father murdered. He was left alive but captured and, as was common practice at the time, castrated and made a eunuch.

“It is almost incomprehensible that he managed to emerge from such relatively fringe or marginal socio-political positions to become the leader of this huge maritime enterprise,” Huang Jianli, a historian at the National University of Singapore, said in an email. But he did. Zheng was assigned to serve Zhu Di, a rebellious prince, and he was by his master’s side when Zhu Di installed himself as emperor in 1402.

Zhu Di had expansive ideas about China’s role in the world and the way it could use trade and widespread diplomacy to assert its power. He assigned his trusted confidante a leadership role, naming him admiral. Starting in 1405, they worked together to establish a far-reaching web of tribute relationships with 48 countries, city-states, and kingdoms all over Asia. Zheng, who according to reports was almost seven feet tall, became a towering figure in both stature and status.

The scale of the boats he sailed was equally remarkable. China had been building mind-bogglingly enormous ships for at least a century before Zheng came along. Both Marco Polo and the Moroccan explorer Ibn Batuta wrote of seeing huge seagoing vessels in their visits to the East. Some experts believe the treasure ships Zheng sailed were 400 feet long, or five times the size of Columbus’ ships, with 70,000 square-foot decks, though those numbers remain in debate. But “even if we take the estimates most people think are too small, those are twice what the Europeans used to sail around the world,” says Travis Shutz, a historian of maritime China at SUNY Binghamton.

Both the treasure ships and the support vessels—battleships, boats carrying grain and horses, local transportation—featured divided hulls with several watertight compartments. This engineering innovation had roots in early Chinese seafaring. It allowed Zheng and other Chinese mariners to take unprecedented amounts of drinking water on long voyages, while also adding much-needed ballast, balance, and stability.

But for Shutz, what made the armada most impressive was the sheer logistics necessary to build and command it. Under Zheng’s instruction, workers in six provinces along China’s coast and inland along the Pearl River cut down trees, processed lumber, and built shipyards in order to construct scores of vessels. In inland cities, an additional team focused on dredging the river once the treasure ships were ready to float out to sea. “That’s something that makes it really impressive, how they mustered so many resources,” Shutz says.

For his National Geographic documentary, Yamashita spent years tracing Zheng’s seven voyages, following the trade winds and stopping nearly everywhere the giant eunuch went. In Indonesia, Yamashita visited some of the same sulfur mines recorded in Zheng’s ship’s log, as well as temples devoted to his spirit. In Melaka, Malaysia, he visited the enormous storehouses Zheng built to house goods going to and from points further afield. The communities that grew up around the storehouses were among the first of many permanent overseas Chinese populations that would dot the continent and eventually grow to a majority in nearby Singapore. In India, Yamashita followed Zheng to the famed pepper markets of the Malabar Coast; the spice flooded China so quickly after Zheng’s visit that it transformed from a top-shelf luxury to an everyday additive.

And after stopovers in Sri Lanka and Yemen, Yamashita visited the islands off of Kenya’s Swahili Coast, where he found people fishing with Chinese-style nets. Local legend has it that several of Zheng’s ships wrecked there, caught in some of the world’s most extreme tides, and the mariners on board married into the population. “We found lots of Ming pottery all over the place,” Yamashita says. “They used it to decorate the houses.”

But, Shutz says, after decades of travel and trade, the sheer logistical and labor costs of maintaining what amounted to a floating metropolis began to wear on Emperor Zhu Di—especially as the Mongols began threatening from the north, forcing the Chinese capital to move to Beijing. Producing and stocking giant ships became prohibitively expensive. Zheng’s last voyages were mostly focused on returning foreign trade envoys to their homelands.

Then Zhu Di died, and a new ruler with deeply different priorities replaced him. Eunuchs like Zheng, who valued trying new things, enriching imperial coffers, and building China’s world reputation, suddenly had much less power. Instead, more conservative Confucian courtiers had the new emperor’s ear. They were more focused inward, on protecting China from the Mongols with the construction and expansion of the Great Wall.

Zheng embarked on his last voyage in 1431, and he died en route in what is now Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). He was buried at sea. Soon after, the new emperor outlawed most formal maritime trade. Forget soccer-field-sized boats: the Chinese state wouldn’t finance any voyages again for several hundred years. When they returned to the ocean, the world would be a very different place.

In the decades that followed, any suggestion of China returning to the high seas was firmly rejected. Many of the records of Zheng’s voyages were reportedly destroyed during political fights or simply lost to the vagaries of time. The loss of those documents has left a hole in what we know about Zheng, leading to academic arguments about everything from exactly how big his boats were (we know they were significantly larger than Columbus’, but how large?) to why he went where he did (was it proto-colonialism or just posturing?). The author Gavin Menzies even found success publishing “1421: The Year China Discovered the World,” a best-selling—but now widely debunked—book that claimed Zheng actually circumnavigated the globe in his sixth voyage.

What we do know is that Zheng’s voyages had a lasting impact on Asia, setting up patterns of migration and cultural exchange that continue today. After the state abandoned virtually all maritime trade, coastal communities stepped back in, some residents turning to smuggling and piracy to meet market demand. Other families instead emigrated to one of the many new overseas Chinese communities taking root in places like Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Many of those new communities sprang up at nodes where Zheng had stopped to develop trade relationships. That’s one reason Southeast Asia is dotted with temples devoted to him.

Those trade networks, Shutz says, were also essential to the spread of two Chinese technologies that helped build our modern world: gunpowder and compasses. Both items were conceived and commonly used for different purposes in China: compasses for divination practices and gunpowder for firecrackers. Thanks to the trade relationships Zheng helped establish, they were much more widely taken up for navigation and warfare across Asia and Africa—and eventually used by Western colonial powers to reshape the world for the next several centuries.

Yamashita also sees Zheng, a Muslim wielding power in a mostly Buddhist society, as a man with “really modern thinking” about equality. In particular, he cites a set of stone tablets Zheng left behind in a temple in Sri Lanka as evidence of this mindset. The trilingual carvings mark offerings to Buddha in Chinese, to Hindu deities in Tamil, and to Allah in Persian. In these carvings, Yamashita sees a legacy of tolerance—a message, he says, of “equal gifts for all; all gods exactly the same.”

Historians like to imagine what might have happened if Chinese voyages hadn’t stopped with Zheng. “What if they had still been in Mozambique when the Portuguese showed up?” Shutz wonders. Would the two powers have traded or gone to war? How would that have affected the violence European powers inflicted as they divided up the world for colonization? “It would have been a different path for sure,” he says.

Instead, for centuries, Zheng’s voyages “remained a testimony of China’s maritime capability if and when it wished to summon,” Huang says. It’s a reminder that’s become increasingly pertinent in the past few decades as China has reasserted itself in world economics and politics.

Now, Huang sees in Zheng’s rise and fall a warning for the United States as it continues to pour money into maritime military maneuvers in Asia and Russia. These ventures “are extremely costly to the state coffer and people’s welfare,” he writes—one reason they were ultimately halted in China in Zheng’s time. “Instead of building more aircraft carriers and staging endless military exercises the world over, U.S.A. should spend its hard-earned money on its failing domestic infrastructure and solving its deep socio-economic problems.”

Even so, until recently Zheng’s accomplishments either received only a passing mention or weren’t taught at all in Western history curricula, Shutz says. While he didn’t learn about Zheng during his own schooling some 20 years ago, Shutz’s younger sister learned about him in her junior high school history class in 2015. In this small change, Shutz sees the beginning of a bigger trend in the American approach to world history. “It’s much less focused on Europe and more focused on the world writ large,” he says, “letting all these varying cultures speak for themselves.”
