Celebrate Pride with award-winning author Andy Jiaming Tang (Cinema Love). “Thirty years ago, in rural Fuzhou, Old Second and his wife Bao Mei frequented the Workers’ Cinema: a rundown theater where gay men cruised for love…. But once Old Second’s passionate affair with his male lover was exposed, a series of haunting events unfolded, propelling these characters toward an uncertain future in America.” Sign up for the open-mic and speak your truth or fiction.
