"There's technically no such thing as the Chinese language." 👀

Finally, someone who gets it. 😂

In my Sabine & Marinette fic, A Small but Stubborn Fire, Sabine's mom SUUUUHUUUHUUUUCKS. And we know from canon that Sabine's wedding dress was Western-style (and her family was seemingly absent, plus Tom's anti-miscegenation father was absent as well).

So imagine Sabine and Tom renewing their wedding vows, and she wears a zansae with honggaitou (I don't know how this is called in Shanghainese...hungkedeu? I'm literally just swapping out character readings lol), tea ceremony with her sister, uncle, and Marinette; then another with Tom's parents later; a multicourse meal reception where a cousin speaks only in Shanghainese and Uncle translates to French for everyone (a variation on this happened at my wedding!)

The whole nine yards, and Marinette makes Sabine's zansae, honggaitou, the palanquin, does her hair, the whole nine yards.

Basically i just want to keep writing Sabine & Marinette and Sabine deserves a whole-ass wedding.

To celebrate my birthday, last night my parents and I went to Shanghai Terrace, an outdoor venue at The Peninsula Chicago, for the first time.

We got so much delicious food, including dim sum dishes for appetizers—our first time having fresh (non-takeout) dim sum since March 1, 2020. Since most of the staff were Asian, we asked our waitress, an older woman named Michelle, if she spoke Chinese (easier for us to order the dishes that way); she said yes. Then she asked if we were from Hong Kong because we spoke Cantonese with HK accents; my parents were indeed born there. Then she said she's from Taishan; my Mom is Taishanese! So many layers of bonding.

A lovely evening in perfect weather, surrounded by the Chicago skyline, with the John Hancock in view.

(Not pictured: The complimentary birthday desserts they gave us, including a little cake that tasted like petit fours.)

2022 Movie Challenge 10/24: 愛情神話/Myth of Love (B for Busy)

Year: 2021

Director: Shao Yihui

Language: Shanghainese*, Mandarin

Premise:

Lao Bai is a divorced middle aged art teacher living in Shanghai. He begins to develop feelings for a divorced woman, but things are complicated with the involvement of his ex-wife and one of his painting students.

My Thoughts:

This movie was really cute and sweet! It's nice to see a rom-com that features middle-aged people and dismisses with tropes of jealousy among women in favor of exploring the way that friendships and relationships develop among a group of people. The Shanghai it portrays is almost painfully romanticized and hipster-y, but it's a nice place to get lost in for an hour and a half. And of course the Shanghainese! It's really cool to see movies like this made in languages other than Mandarin, especially since it doesn't traffic in stereotypes about who uses so-called "dialects" in China.

*I won't be ranking the language difficulty because I don't speak any Shanghainese

bingo card under the cut

This is my non-Mandarin/Cantonese/Taiwanese movie, and my first complete bingo!

Shanghainese Food at Mom's Dim Sum

Shanghainese Food at Mom's Dim Sum. #beefnoodles #richmondhilleats #milletcongee

Mom’s Dim Sum located at 360 Hwy 7, Richmond Hill August 14, 2022:  Contrary to the name of this restaurant, Mom’s Dim Sum doesn’t serve just “dim sum” (assuming we’re talking about Chinese dim sum/small bites).  It’s actually a small restaurant on Highway 7 and Chalmers Road in Richmond Hill that serves Shanghainese food (more…)

thank you @sleebyshiba for tagging me for the "9 people you'd like to get to know better" tag game :D

Last song: Bahlam Maak by Nagat Al-Saghira, her voice is absolutely stunning and dreamy and this song in particular reminds me of some julio iglesias songs my dad put on when i was younger

Favourite colour: in this season i will say blues of all shades ... but all colors are dear to me in some way like how can there be a singular favorite???

Last movie/TV show: Anatomy of a Fall; i'm a sucker for films that explore tensions within a family and Sandra Hüller's acting impressed me a lot and now i wanna watch her other films :O

Sweet/spicy/savory: savory foods that are sweet, but also i'm the type of person who doesn't like desserts that are too sweet yaknow?

Relationship status: single......

Last thing I searched: scholarships for grad school ;_; pray for me...

Current obsession: resident evil... ive been playing through the main games with a friend and its been so fun to see this series reinvent itself time and time again. i hate capcom but i love claire redfield ... what can i say i contain multitudes...

Last book: The Hired Girl by Laura Amy Schlitz; set in 1911, it's about a young girl who runs away from her abusive family and ends up working as a servant for a Jewish family. it's been a very long time since i've read a book aimed for a younger audience, and i was very taken with how much compassion and care Schlitz wrote the main character and the way she doesn't shy away from writing the tensions that come with the main character's position.

Looking forward to: for the immediate future, getting my enrollment for school squared away and done with!!! but also really looking forward to going to shanghai in march/april. i haven't been back since i was 12 so i'm excited to be able to travel the city as an adult this time around :3

tagging: @anneemay @septicsaint @benevolentchineseassociation @vietmutual @shenerdist @vberry @itsawavybaby @fiora @noweei (ofc no pressure to respond but it'd be nice to get to know you all some more :D)

#.txt #need to practice my mandarin in the meantime but also wish i could learn shanghainese first... #any language learning tips are much appreciated

I always wonder what shanghai dialect sounds like to foreign ears. mandarin speakers will describe it as very sweet and funnily enough they also think it sounds like japanese? (which is where the original itoshisoup pun came from lol) but I don't know what non-chinese speakers think!

#i contemplated posting a clip of myself speaking shanghainese back in the mdzs days because lwj is from gusu #aka ancient suzhou and suzhou dialect is very very similar #if hyv ever comes out with a jiangsu coded characrer u better believe i shall be doing that #yueshuo

"The truth is that after speaking our lines, the director did not say 'cut'. So maybe it was through the chemistry we had that we both looked at our watches at the same time." — Wang Yibo (Wu Ming Promo Tour Interview in Wuhan) Video posted by Wu Ming’s official Weibo

Tessa second most fluent language (right behind English) is Mandarin. Sometimes her and Will will converse in Mandarin just to feel closer to Jem. Her third most fluent is Welsh.

#you cant tell me tessa and will won’t be fluent in mandarin u cant tell me that #will has an accent when he speaks mandarin but Tessa doesn’t and almost sound like a native #sometimes Tessa read Chinese literature #jem will teach her ancient Chinese so that she can understand all those poetry and ancient Chinese texts #Tessa is an expect in Chinese and welsh culture #and their history too obviously #she will learn a few more other langauge but none will be as good as Chinese and Welsh #maybe she will learn Cantonese and Shanghainese but not as fluent as mandarin still #anyways this is canon now I don’t take criticism #shadowhunters #the shadowhunters chronicles #tsc incorrect quotes #tsc #incorrect tsc quotes #will herondale #the infernal devices #incorrect tid quotes #jem carstairs #tessa gray #tid #tid incorrect quotes #william herondale #james carstairs #herongraystairs #jem x will #ke jian ming #brother zachariah #tid gang #heronstairs #tessa x jem

Thinking abt modern au shaojun speaking mandarin with a Beijing accent makes me so happy 💖💖💖

Compared to standard mandarin Beijing dialect has more of an exaggerated “rrr” sound at the end of the words if you wanna know the distinction

#assassins creed #shao jun #modern au #I remember my grandma rly likes Beijing accents #but her and the rest of the family are Shanghainese #well grandpa was suzhou #but we are p much shanghai dominated in the household
