Chinese Quote by Lulu Wang

“In America especially, if you're Chinese and you work at a restaurant, there's a certain connotation among the Chinese immigrant community: It's the first generation that opens restaurants as a way to survive. You open to support your family so your kids can become doctors and lawyers.” quote by Lulu Wang — Download Open image
