He’d thought it remarkable, to have found two, when in his heart he’d always believed there was only one perfect woman out there for him. His heart had been right. There was only one.

Some non Lily James fancasts for Sophie Beckett!

Adelayo Adedayo - of Some Girls fame, and I’d love to see her again

Mei Mac - a stage actress who recently got some buzz in a Shakespeare production

Oona Chaplin - possibly a little too famous for Bridgerton given the projects she’s done but I think she’d make an excellent romantic lead

Mandip Gill - who didn’t love her in Doctor Who

Anjli Mohindra - best known for The Sarah Jane Adventures and a standout bit in Bodyguard

Katie Leung - Cho Chang from Harry Potter. It would be such a fun comeback role for her!

Susan Wokoma - from Enola Holmes, another Netflix original

Neelam Gill - a model, but she’s been trying to break into acting for years, much like a lot of the actors they’ve cast

[demospectator]

“Early house and store, possibly on Clay Street; dentist on second story” c. 1875. Photographer unknown (from the Marilyn Blaisdell Collection).  The main signage at the second floor reads from right to left: 脱牙線牙專醫牙痛 (lit. “flossing dentist toothache specialist”; canto: “seen ngah chuen yi ngah tuhng”; pinyin: “tuō yá xiàn yá zhuān yī yátòng”).  The sign seen above the railing at right indicates that, the dentist apparently shared the building with a photography studio 映相樓  (lit. mirror image building; canto:  “ying sun lauh”), but the photographer’s name is undiscernible in the image.

A name is barely discernible above the main dental office sign. According to historian and author Roland Hui, the Chinese name 鄺慈敬 (Kwong Tse King....) [canto: “Kwong Tee Ging”] is the same name used by one the 1902 SF Dental College graduates, Charlie Fong.  “Since 鄺 is pronounced "Fong" in Hoisanwa,” Hui asserts, “the dentist in the picture may well be Charlie Fong aka Fong Tse King.” Hui notes that the name “Charley Fong” appears in the 1894 Langley directory with an office address of 813-1/2 Sacramento Street.  Given the steep angle of incline depicted in the photo, and the streetcar tracks in the foreground, a location on Sacramento Street represents another possible site for the photo. 

The Unsung: Chinatown’s Trailblazing Dentists

The histories and storytellers of old San Francisco Chinatown often overlook the dentists who served the pioneer community.  Chinese practitioners of dentistry must have inevitably followed the Gold Rush migrants from southern China to California.  However, the historical record about Chinatown’s earliest dentists remains scant.

Dentistry had only recently separated itself as a medical specialization in the US in the latter part of the 19th century.  On May 28, 1881, the medical faculty formally proposed the creation of an affiliated Dental Department to the UC Regents, using the affiliation of the medical and pharmacy departments as precedent. Part of their appeal included their promise of free lecture and clinic space for dental students at the Toland Medical College building.

The Pioneers

Coincidentally, the Langley directory of 1882 printed the first English language listing for a “Mar Yuet Wo, dentist, 1002 Dupont” in Chinatown.  The address had been formerly occupied by the barber of the Globe Hotel, Mee Nguen, and since 1881 had also served as the address of the Tai Yuen Co. grocery store. Unfortunately, the historical record goes silent about Mar and any other dentists until 1894 and 1895 when the Langley directory lists dentists Charley Fong at 813-1/2 Sacramento Street and Carl M. Lee at 754 Washington Street.

By 1902, Fong, Lee, and two other Chinese had availed themselves of the western training provided by the San Francisco Dental College and obtained degrees of Doctor of Dental Surgery by May 20, 1902.

Announcement in the Pacific Dental Gazette listing the graduates of the San Francisco Dental College in its third commencement exercises of May 2, 1902.  

Leung Ting Mai

By the time of his graduation as a western-trained dental surgeon, Leung Ting Mai had already been practicing dentistry under the name of “J.B. Landon.”  Leung had been born in Hao-Shan, Kwangtung, in 1860. Chinese sources report that he arrived in the US in December 1876.  After marrying in 1885, Leung began his studies in dental surgery for the next several years.  The photographic record, however, suggests that Leung may have been providing dental services as Dentist Leung Ting  梁廷美牙醫 (canto: “Leung Tin Mei Nga Yih”) prior to his licensure in 1902.

A view of the northwestern corner of the intersection of Washington and Dupont Streets, no date, c. pre-1904.  Photographer unknown (from the collection of the Bancroft Library).  This corner building had two addresses on 900 Dupont and an entrance at 800 Washington, the doorway to which is seen at the left of the frame.  Signage for dentist Leung Ting Mai can be seen on the corner of the building at the upper floor.

Whether by chance or calculation, the entrance to Leung’s dental office at 800 Washington was placed strategically to the left of a wall on which community news was posted, including tong death notices, what historian Phil Choy would later denote as a “murder wall.”  As the next series of photos shows, the men of Chinatown’s bachelor society frequently gathered on the sidewalk outside of Leung’s dental offices.

The entrance to 800 Washington Street and dentist Leung Ting Mei’s offices, c. pre-1904.  Photographer unknown (from the collection of the San Francisco Public Library).  The second photos represents one of several close-ups in the SFPL collection.

In addition to the photos taken by the unknown photographer whose work reposes with the San Francisco Public Library, the signage of dentist Leung Ting Mei, a.k.a. “J.B Landon” would be preserved for future generations as other photographers of old Chinatown photographed men gathered in front of the poster-wall at the northeastern corner of Washington and Dupont Streets. Whether by accident or design, Leung’s dental office signage would provide the most photographed dentist’s signage of old Chinatown.

“The Billboard in Chinatown” c. 1895-1904.  Photograph by Grahame H. Hardy (from the collection of the California State Library).  A group of Chinese men read wall posters and news in Chinatown outside the entrance of 800 Washington Street.  The small awning for “J.B. Landon Dentist” appears in the upper left-hand corner of the frame. 

By the turn of the century, and certainly by 1902, Leung had changed his purely Chinese signage and settled on conducting his dental practice under the name of “J.B. Landon” for reasons that are now lost to memory.  If Leung Ting Mar intended the ploy to avoid a marketing stigma of a Chinese name and gain a listing in the main body of the Langley business directory, it appears to have worked.  Both the 1904 and 1905 Langley directories list “Landon, James B, dentist, 904 Washington” during a time when racial prejudice against the Chinese was running high and the Langley directory had omitted its separate section of Chinatown business listings.

Another photo of men reading wall postings below the dental office signage for dentist Leung Ting Mar, doing business as “J.B. Landon, Dentist” c. 1904-1905.  Photographer unknown.

The photos in the Granger and San Francisco Public Library collections represent perhaps the best images of the complete dental office signage for dentist Leung Ting Mar, practicing dentistry under the name of “J.B. Landon, Dentist.”  

As with every other business in Chinatown, the building in which Leung practiced dentistry was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire.  According to Chinese sources, Leung returned to China in August, 1906 where he opened a dental practice that year in the Mission Building located on the Bund in Guangzhou.  His years of dental practice in San Francisco’s Chinatown, however, would be immortalized in its photographic record and its derivative colorized print and postcard art.

A Chinese American Original and a First:  Faith Sai So Leong

Formal portrait of Faith Sai So Leong (from the collection of her sons Edwin and Eric Owyang).

While the first wave of western-trained dentists practiced in Chinatown, San Francisco dental colleges had continued to admit more Chinese students.  In 1904, Faith Sai So Leong (蔡世良; canto: “Cheuih Sai Leung”) became the first woman to graduate from the College of Physicians and Surgeons (now the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry).  

Born in China, she came to San Francisco in 1894 at the age of 13.  She was adopted as “Sai So Yeong.” by Mrs. E J Nickerson, an English teacher, in San Francisco’s Chinatown.  Nickerson would help Sai So learn English and would arrange for Sai So to be baptized with the Christian name “Faith” at Grace Church.

Having been encouraged to pursue dentistry by a cousin who was also a dentist, Faith entered dental school and graduated when she was 24 years old.   She was awarded the Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1905 from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, San Francisco, May 18, 1905 at the Alhambra Theater, San Francisco.  

The 1904 graduation photo of Faith Sai So Leong (a.k.a. Sai So Yeong).  

However, the issuance of her license was delayed due to an investigation and trial related to misconduct by members of the State Board of Dental Examiners.  In August 1905, Faith Sai So Leong was the only woman out of a class 40 students to receive a dental license.

The San Francisco Call, August 12, 1905, p. 5.  In column five, the paper reports without fanfare that “Miss Faith Sai So Leong, San Francisco,” the first Chinese woman to receive a dentist license in the US, was among the group of new dental licensees for that year.

Faith Leong initially established her dental practice at 847 Dupont Street in San Francisco’s Chinatown, primarily serving the Chinese.  After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire destroyed her office and laboratory, she relocated to Oakland.  

Dr. Faith Sai So Leong posing with a patient in the examination chair.  Photographer unknown (from the collection of descendants Edwin and Eric Owyang).

Historian Thomas W. Chinn wrote in his book Bridging the Pacific about her resumption of dental practice in Oakland as follows:

“It took a while, but on July 23, 1906, she found quarters at 8th and Harrison streets in Oakland, where she reestablished herself. In a short time or practice was flourishing again.  Her greatest loss from the fire, she considered, was a loss of her college diploma, and though a duplicate was soon secured, it was not quite the same. . . .

The Affidavit signed by Faith Sai So Leong on May 8, 1907, applying for a duplicate diploma to replace the original one destroyed in the 1906 fire (from the collection of the University of the Pacific). 

A feature story about “The Only Chinese Woman Dentist” Faith Sai So Leong, in the San Francisco Sunday Call of September 15, 1907.

“Now there was a steady stream of patients to and from her office:   men, women, and children, wealthy merchants and community leaders – all to be examined and taken care of by ‘a slight slender girl enveloped in a long white apron, definitely manipulating the bright instruments and tinkering among her laboratory paraphernalia while one of her countrymen occupies our big dentist chair,’ as one visitor described her.”

The Chinese Dentist Club, San Francisco, c. 1909.   (Photo courtesy of Edwin Owyang, MD)   Dr. Faith Leong Owyang served as the club’s treasurer. Charley Fong, whose Chinese name (鄺慈敬) appears 4th from the right of the photo, appears to use the same Chinese name which can be seen above the main dentist’s sign in the first photo shown in this article. 

In 1909, Leong married Nam Owyang, the son of the secretary to the Chinese Consul to San Francisco. The two had met during her vacation in Hong Kong. She returned to San Francisco on August 5, 1910.  By the following month, Faith Leong Owyang, DDS, re-opened her practice in Chinatown at 1108 Stockton Street.  She also joined the Chinese Methodist Episcopal Church.

She would later bring her aging former guardian, Mrs. Nickerson, to live with her family.  She gave birth to two sons, Eric and Edwin.   She would also bring her aging former guardian, Mrs. Nickerson, to live with her family.  

The life of this trailblazer among Chinese American women was tragically cut short at age 47 when a runaway vehicle on Grant Avenue struck her as she helped her son avoid the impact.  She was taken to Harbor Emergency hospital suffering from multiple fractures and internal injuries.  She passed away in San Francisco on May 10, 1929.

She is remembered today as the world’s first modern-trained Chinese woman dentist in the world.

Charles Goodall Lee

If Charles Goodall Lee (1881 – 1973) had done nothing more than pursue his studies to become the first licensed Chinese American dentist in California, he would be remembered today.  Lee, however, also exemplified the small second generation of Chinese Americans committed to perfecting their civil rights in the US

Lee was born in 1881 on the eve of the Exclusion Act in San Francisco, California, to Lee Tong Hay, a lay leader helping to organize the Chinese Methodist Church with Otis Gibson's missions that would become the Chinese Community United Methodist Church.  After graduating from the School of Dentistry at University of the Pacific, Lee established his dental practice in San Francisco’s Chinatown.

Wulzen Glass Plate Negative Collection (Sfp 40), San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library.  The balconies of the Woey Sin Low restaurant at 808 Dupont appears to the left of the frame in the above photograph. The signage for the dental office of “Charles S. Lee” [sic] can be seen at street level (806 Dupont) and the corner of the building. 

After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Lee relocated to first to San Jose, California, and later settled in Oakland, becoming one of Oakland Chinatown's first dentists.  He continued his dental practice until his retirement in 1940, but, along the way, actively participated in civic affairs.  

He co-founded Oakland's Chinese American Citizens Alliance in 1912 and co-financed the construction of CACA’s lodge in Oakland.  Lee reportedly contributed the largest payment for the purchasing of the building as well as the repair fees.  As a member of the Oakland Lodge, Lee fought for the civil rights, equal economic and political opportunities, and the general welfare of Chinese Americans.

He was married to a fellow civic activist, Clara Elizabeth Chan. who was the first Chinese American woman to register to vote in the United States.

A smiling dentist Charles Goodall Lee (center) accompanied his wife Clara Elizabeth Chan Lee (second from right) and teacher Emma Tom Leung (left) of OakIand to the Alameda County Court House on November 8, 1911.  According to the Oakland Tribune, the women became “the first ethnic Chinese women in history to become eligible to vote when they registered.  Assistant County Clerk W.B. Reith supervised their application while Tom Leung and Charles G. Lee looked on.  

Lee was also a lay leader of the Chinese Community Methodist Church of Oakland, a member of the Oakland Chinese Center, and a member of the Lee Family Benevolent Association.

Next generation activists

The life of Thomas Wai Sun Wu, exemplified the continuance by the next generation of the trail blazed by the pioneer dental practitioners.

Born in 1915 in San Francisco, Wu taught himself to play the piano when his sisters started lessons.  His musical abilities progressed to the point where he played at the True Sunshine Episcopal Church, founded by his father, the Rev. Daniel Wu.

“In the 1930s, he helped organize a dance orchestra, the Chinatown Knights, and was a rehearsal pianist for orchestras visiting San Francisco,” reporter Vanessa Hua wrote.  “At the time, he was not allowed to perform in public because he was Chinese, and when he tried to join the San Francisco musicians union, he was rejected, he told his daughter, Laurene Wu McClain. Dr. Wu was able to get into the Sacramento union and play professionally.”

Dentist and civic leader Thomas W.S. Wu, DDS.

In 1939, Wu received his degree from UCSF Dental School and started his dental practice in Chinatown.  He also found the time for civic, professional and religious organizations.  Wu’s political advocacy would lead to San Francisco mayors appointing him to serve on the San Francisco Library Commission, Board of Permit Appeals, and the Art Commission.  He also co- founded the Chinese Historical Society of America and served as president of the Eng Family Association.  Later in life, he also on the board of On Lok Senior Health Services, the Chinatown YMCA and the Chinese American Citizens Alliance.

The largely unsung history of Chinatown’s first dentists illustrates the powerful effect exerted by the early and critical opening by San Francisco’s early dental schools to Chinese American students, those students rise to prominence as community professionals and leaders, and their activism informed by their faith.  

Their day may begin when your pain starts, but the dentists of Chinatown have played their part in the progress of Chinese America toward the better future.

I think some people in this fandom need to know that Jessie Mei li defended brown face and casting them as Sophie is so unserious because we just had a brown woman lead season 2 who was just so badly sidelined in her own season. Natasha Liu and Katie Leung are just there if you want some East Asian representation just like I do <3

#its ok if u didnt know about this but after how they treated simone and also shelley conn please dont be so ignorant #and if you know and still fancast her despite the complaints of brown people then you're racist and i hope your fav works with cvd #and laura neal #sophie beckett

even if it would have created a natural segue into their 2019 film, Memories to Choke On, Drinks to Wash Them Down – a bittersweet quartet of stories about Hongkongers, both fictional and real, and the slow burn of nostalgia.

The idea for Memories to Choke On, Drinks to Wash Them Down started with yuen yeung – Hong Kong-style milk tea that includes instant coffee.

Kate Reilly and Leung Ming-kai’s taste map of Hong Kong

Agape Garden 膳心小館 (Shek Kip Mei Estate, Sham Shui Po): “They have the best soy-sauce noodles we have ever eaten. The wok hei – that complex aroma that results from wok-frying food – is incredible. Every couple of days I yearn for these noodles.

“We also love that it’s part cha chaan teng, part convenience store, part central location for seasonal treats like mooncakes.”

Sister Yung’s Stone Milled Cheung Fun 濃姐石磨腸粉 (62 Shanghai Street, Jordan): “The greatest cheung fun I have ever had, we are both wild about it, and we really like the couple that runs it. They also stock additional products from other producers, such as excellent milk tea.”

Pak Muslim Curry House (6 Ping Fu Path, Kwai Chung): “It’s excellent food, with incredible depth of flavour. Well-prepared meats are the star, but vegetable dishes are really tasty as well.

“Since working together on Lau Kok-rui’s upcoming film The Sunny Side of the Street, which is partly about Pakistani Hongkongers, Kai and I are more engaged with Pakistani culture here. And lucky us, Pak Muslim Curry House is just a short walk from a lot of the production offices and studios in Kwai Chung and Kwai Hing.”

Lillian's Thoughts on Meguro Division

Saji Buranka

"Saji Buranka, also known as 'Street Dog'. Subject is a high school student in the last year of schooling, which is a feat considering subject spent the majority of his school year, picking fights with anyone he came across. Subject is a well-known fighter, and has developed something of a reputation in Japan's underground fighting scene. Subject started fighting at the age of 14 after being trained by Qing Leung, an old martial artist whose current status and location is currently unknown.

"Subject seems to have a desire to die, wanting someone to finish him off. It's believed his reasoning for fighting in the underground tournaments, as well as entering the D.R.B., is because he believes that he can obtain his long-awaited death there. As for why he wants to die, it's believed that it may have something to do with the death of his girlfriend and the disappearance of his father-figure. Speaking of which..."

Lillian observes Kaori out of the corner of her eye, who is silently cleaning her HypMic, her panther by her side.

...I am a bit worried about Kaori-san. Ever since she received word that Subject Saji was entering the D.R.B., she has been incredibly distraught. It's believed that these two may know each other in some shape, form or fashion. I should relay this information to Otome-sama in hopes that she can do something. Subject is considered to be a threat to Chuohku, and should be dealt with."

Vito Koi

"Vito Koi, also known as 'Strongarm'. Subject is a former security guard who was Head of Security for the now broken and bankrupted company, Mafuyu Enterprises. Subject served directly under Ryuu Mafuyu, creator and CEO of the company. Subject joined the company after a failed attempt to kill Mafuyu, where the CEO was impressed by subject's skill and power, prompting him to invite Subject Vito to join the company.

"Subject served Mafuyu faithfully for many years, but after the CEO was sadly assassinated, subject was accused of killing his former boss, and was gunned down in retaliation by security forces, wounding him deeply. Despite his injuries, subject miraculously survived and relocated to the city of Meguro, where he spent several months healing before starting up his own tattoo parlor, Ink Inc., which has quickly grown to be quite popular due to subject's thorough approach to detail.

"Mei-san seems to have a fierce hatred for Subject Vito. This comes as no surprise due to the fact that both served Ryuu Mafuyu. However, research shows that Mafuyu often relied more on Subject Vito than Mei-san, which caused animosity to grow between the two. It's heavily believed that she will target the subject during the tournament. This should be relayed to Otome-sama to prevent any discourse from occurring. Due to his hatred for both Chuohku and Mei-san, subject is considered to be a threat and should be dealt with accordingly."

Yeong "Cain" Hajoon

Lillian looks at the photo of the model, and her stoic face suddenly changes to one of surprise. It stays like that for approximately five seconds before shifting back to her regular form. She places the photo down next to her, and begins typing up her report.

"Yeong Hajoon, also known as '9-Dan'. Much of subject's past is unknown, as it is almost entirely unsure of where he hails from prior to coming here to Japan. Most of what is known about him is common knowledge. Though he hides, subject is the estranged son of the esteemed Cain family of Korea. Subject was basically groomed to be the successor to the family name, but had different ambitions. After managing to convince his family to let him practice martial arts, subject took to them very well, becoming a master in just two years.

"After graduating senior school, subject, to the surprise of many, renounced his family name and changed his name to 'Hajoon', the last name of his martial arts teacher. Subject then spent the majority of his time in Korea, doing whatever floated his fancy, whether it was entering martial arts or Go tournaments, visiting different parts of Korea, etc."

As she continues typing, Lillian frowns as she feels a slight pain in her head growing stronger every minute. She places her hand on her head, as if trying to will it away, but it doesn't work. She tries to ignore it and continues typing.

"Subject's whereabouts after that are unknown, as he soon came to Japan, for some unknown reason. He was soon spotted by a modeling company, starting his career as a model, becoming acquainted with many famous people, including: Subject Takahashi of Saitama, Subject Rose of Okinawa, and Subject Aimono of Nagoya. Some time after, subject became acquainted with Subjects Vito and Saji, thus forming the third part of Meguro Division. As stated, most of subject's life up to this point is entirely unknown. This makes him a threat, regardless of his feeling for Chuohku."

DOG STREET CLUB

"Despite how new this division team is, the members have known each other for a while. Though their exact feelings for each other are unknown, all three seem capable of working together and forming a cohesive unit that is capable of taking out threats that greatly outnumber them. They trust each other to watch each other's backs, making them very dangerous when together. And even separate, they are still a threat when on their own without their partners.

"Confrontation with the group seems likely, almost definitely. I do not believe plans will work here as each member will combat those they have history with. Kaori-san will deal with Subject Saji. Mei-san will take on Subject Vito. Which leaves me with Subject Yeong..."

The pain in the computer specialist's head from before continues to grow, and she groans as the pounding in her head grows harder, as if it someone were hitting her with a hammer. She clenches her teeth, as a strange ringing is heard in her ears. Her heart rate increases as the thing inside of her chest continues to pump more frequently beating against her chest. Her eyes, which were closed, re-open with the familiar fog in her eyes gone. She looks to the computer quickly and only has time to type out a quick message before the pain causes her to scream and ultimately faint from exhaustion.

🌸 ARIANA'S BOOK REVIEW 🌸

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Genre: Historical Fiction, Romance, Novella, Asian Representation

📚 Synopsis: Faced with a proposal from a man she despises, impetuous Mei Lin makes a daring declaration: she will only marry the man who can defeat her in a sword fight. She has bested everyone who has so far tried to teach her a lesson...until a handsome stranger comes to her village. In captivating swordsman Shen Leung , Mei Lin finally sees a man she wants to marry. A man she's willing to surrender to in every way....

📝 Review: It is not often one finds a narrative rich with history, stirring emotions, and an intoxicating dose of action like Jeannie Lin's 'Taming of Mei Lin'. The novella introduces us to the indomitable Mei Lin, a woman who would rather embrace uncertainty than submit to a loveless union.

Set against the backdrop of a bucolic village, the story unravels Mei Lin's staunch refusal to marry a man she repels, setting a daring mother-of-all-standards - any suitor must defeat her in a sword fight! Lively and tempestuous, Mei Lin emerges victorious in every challenge, teaching more than a few lessons with the sword's might. That is, until an enigmatic yet attractive stranger, Shen Leung, sways into the village.

Shen Leung - a man whose captivating persona immediately enthralls Mei Lin. A swordsman whose deftness in combat challenges Mei Lin unlike any other. Through him, Mei Lin allows a glimpse into a vulnerable heart willing to trade her independence for a love that speaks of soulful surrender.

Jeannie Lin's narration is wonderfully paced, balancing intense swordplay with tender moments of blossoming love. The chemistry between Mei Lin and Shen Leung isn't merely contained to verbal exchanges. The clashing of their swords becomes an intricate dance of attraction that goes beyond sheer physicality. Their sparring sessions are metaphors of courtship, filled with tension, respect, and a shared love for the sword.

'The Taming of Mei Lin' is a touching tale that beautifully explores the challenges of societal standards, the exhilaration of first love, and the value of courage. It offers a refreshing perspective on historical romance by intertwining moments of deft swordplay with a heart-rending love story.

Jeannie Lin's 'The Taming of Mei Lin' is not just a novel; it's a compelling blend of history, martial arts, and romance that leaves readers longing for more.

🔍 Rec: People who have read ‘Destiny's Embrace’ (Beverly Jenkins), ‘Beauty In Autumn’ (Ruby Dixon) and ‘The Secrets Of A Moonlit Night’ (Elisa Braden) may like this book.

🦋 Recommend me some Historical Romances.
