“how did you end up on the cover of @chicago_reader bro?” “I got family” - vin diesel voice**sheeeeeeeesh! 📈 i can’t hide my excitement!! it’s essential to have the blessings from the Chinatown elderly to do impactful projects in the community. they have years of knowledge to pass on to the next generation of youth. This is the power of intergenerational collaboration🤝🤝 I am 24 years old, I don’t know what I’m doing, but I want to unite the communities together in Chicago - that’s the goal I’m going after. I can’t deny that sometimes it gets tough trying to navigate the “system” we are in, but that’s when most of the people stop there. It is not easy, it takes a group of crazy passionate people to change the world. I am blessed to have an amazing team fighting with me, alongside with me when I am getting too emotion cuz shit is tough. what really drive us in front of all these challenges is “Care”. We care our community, we care the people around us, we care for each other. we can really solves many things with love ❤️ talk human We are exactly 21 days away! please help us to welcome everyone back to Chinatown! we still need your help with gofundme, we are 30% completing our fundraising goal! #welcomebacktochinatown #chinatown #chicago #chicagochinatown #chinatownchicago #aapi #apahm #chinese #中国人 by @chinatownshifa

I want to show you a good time for free 🧧🐲In Chicago, our population may not rival the numbers seen on the East or West Coast, leading us with fewer resources to celebrate. Much like the proverb related to Dragon: ‘⛰️山不再高有仙则名，🌊水不在深有龙则灵’— Chicago’s significance is not solely determined by external qualities like height or depth⛰️🌊, but by the presence of something extraordinary, like the presence of Dragons. Chicago is experiencing another waves of our own ‘awakening dragons🐉.’ Chicago is witnessing the birth of new waves of stars, where our limitations transform into strengths. We are creating a narrative of renewal and growth. I would like to invite you to see our Year of the Dragon - live performances at Navy Pier’s Lunar New Year! 🎤Live Performances: Thai Cultural Arts Center(@tcfai_chicago_usa ), Philippine American Cultural Foundation and of Chinese dance dance by Hao dance, the Flying Fairies, Yin He Dance(@yinhedance ), and St. Theresa Catholic School(@stccs_chicago ), Aikido by the Japanese Cultural Center(@japanese_culture_center ), K-Pop performances by Rev X(@revxdance), Prism Kru(@prismkru), and PK Neo(@team.pkneo), Chinese Yo Yo by the Chicago Chinese Yo Yo School, Live music by The Jade Chinese ensemble(@jadeuchicago), The Sound of Wishes Guzheng ensemble(@soundofwishes), Chicago Korean Dance Compnay(@ckdc_chicagokdc ) and Soul Power(@soulpower_band , @sweetelsie_yu ), and Featuring Emceeing by Miss Asian Chicago(@missasianchicago , @victoriang555 )🐲Navy Pier’s Lunar New YearAddress: 840 E Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60611Date: February 10th, 2024Time: 1:00PM - 5:00PM 🧧Happy Lunar New Year!恭喜发财龙年大发生意兴隆财源广进新婚快乐早生贵子工作顺利学习进步身体健康心想事成Graphic by @boat.sai #chinatownchicago #chinatown #navypierchicago Which Lunar New Year Parade are you attending or you are going to both 🧧🐲? by @chinatownshifa

Yuzu Chicago is a West Town sushi spot known for jumbo rolls decorated with intricate edible sauce art — think Chinatown dragons and Chicago skylines. Beyond the creative rolls, they serve fresh fish and robata grilled items. It’s BYOB with a liquor store right across the street, making it great value. The vibe is fun, intimate, and energetic — perfect for group hangs or a casual bro date night @eddie_supa @yishaowl Must orders: 🎨🖌️the Jumbo Rolls for the sushi art experience, the 🥣🎏Ume Bowl($39) packed with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and scallop over yuzu seasoned rice❄️🌊Hokkaido Winter — marinated snow crab, fresh scallops, salmon roe, and bluefin toro. #westtownchicago #wickerparkchicago #chinatownchicago by @chinatownshifa
