The Chinese Lady by Lloyd Suh

Film still courtesy the Lewis Center for the Arts

"The Chinese Lady" tells the story of fourteen-year-old Afong Moy as she’s brought to the United States from Guangzhou Province in 1834. Allegedly the first Chinese woman to set foot on U.S. soil, she has been put on display for the American public as 'The Chinese Lady.' Inspired by the true story of Afong Moy’s life, "The Chinese Lady" is a dark, poetic, yet whimsical portrait of America through the eyes of a young Chinese woman. Filmed performances livestreamed April 9-10; Live talkbacks with playwright Lloyd Suh and Professors Anne Cheng and Beth Lew-Williams April 8 at 2 p.m. (EDT) and with the show team on April 9 at 9:45 p.m. (EDT).

Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination at Princeton University: Princeton University believes that commitment to principles of fairness and respect for all is favorable to the free and open exchange of ideas, and the University seeks to reach out as widely as possible in order to attract the ablest individuals as students, faculty, and staff.
