底特律华裔作家柯蒂斯·秦分享中餐馆成长记忆
密歇根州奥克兰县麦迪逊高地市消息：底特律华裔协会10月29日晚6时30分至8时，在该市的华裔协会华人社区中心举办「与柯蒂斯·秦共度之夜」活动，主题为身份、社区与韧性。活动由华裔协会青少年义工理事会主办，是「伟大密歇根阅读」合作活动。
柯蒂斯·秦出生并成长于底特律，其家人曾在底特律历史悠久的唐人街经营Chung's Cantonese Cuisine中餐馆，他的回忆录《我学到的一切，都是在一家中餐馆学到的》正是讲述这段经历。该书曾获美国图书馆协会斯通沃尔荣誉图书称号，并入选2024年密歇根Notable图书。秦毕业于密歇根大学，是纽约亚裔美国作家工作坊的联合创始人及首任执行主任。
主办方说明，这是一个底特律故事，而非纽约或旧金山的故事，意在呈现底特律华人社区的历史。底特律唐人街曾是当地华人生活与生意中心，随着城市变迁逐渐式微，而秦的回忆录让这段历史重新进入公众视野，活动吸引了当地华人社区与读者参与。

Detroit Chinese American Author Curtis Chin Shares Chinese Restaurant Memories in Madison Heights
The Association of Chinese Americans hosted 'An Evening with Curtis Chin' on October 29 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at its Chinese Community Center in Madison Heights, Michigan, on the themes of identity, community and resilience. The event, hosted by the association's Teen Volunteer Council, was a Great Michigan Read partner program.
Detroit-born author Curtis Chin grew up in his family's Chung's Cantonese Cuisine, a longtime restaurant in Detroit's historic Chinatown; his memoir 'Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant' tells that story. The book was named an American Library Association Stonewall Honor Book and a 2024 Michigan Notable Book. Chin, a University of Michigan graduate, co-founded the Asian American Writers' Workshop in New York and served as its first executive director.
Organizers stressed that this is a Detroit story, not a New York or San Francisco one, meant to bring the history of Detroit's Chinese community — once a center of Chinese life and business in the city — back into public view.
