A Thousand Pebbles on the Ground, a short film by Japanese Filmmaker Toko Shiiki Synopsis: Roger is a medical lab technician near Philadelphia working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic; he is Chinese-American and facing rising anti-Asian sentiment. He’s grieving the loss of his father, but he loves to perform and make people laugh.
Q&A with Ms. Shiiki will follow the screening (running time: approximately 25 minutes).
The event will also feature live music by Erik Santos (musician, composer, and Associate Professor of Composition and Performing Arts Technology at the University of Michigan), sharing his father, Rosendo Santos’ music and personal story of moving to the US from the Philippines. At age 11, Rosendo Santos started composing band marches, instrumental and vocal scores, and Catholic masses. He was later named a UNESCO scholar and received the Composer of the Year Award. In Manila, he was Composer of the Year in 1956 and 1957 and won 12 prizes consecutively in composition contests. Most recently, he received the title of “The Philippine Composer of the Century.”
Registration includes light appetizers from Mei Japanese Restaurant and two drink tickets. (Beverage Sponsor: Asahi Super Dry).

We are pleased to be able to offer this event in May, during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. According to Wikipedia, the US Congress chose the month of May for two reasons: On May 7, 1843, the first Japanese immigrant arrived in the United States. And more than two decades later, on May 10, 1869, the “Golden Spike” was driven into the First Transcontinental Railroad, which made heavy use of Chinese labor. Since its inception, awareness of AAPI Heritage Month has grown considerably, with more events taking place this year than ever before.
Join us again for the popular Beer & Guanxi networking event that takes place every month (with some exceptions) at different venues throughout the region. Our goal is to provide a networking platform for executives and professionals to interact with each other and find opportunities from, with and within the Chinese business community.
Susana and Angela Wong of Oriental Wok will be hosting the official tapping of the brew on Wednesday May 4 at both of their locations. We will have raffle prizes from 4-6pm.
This momentous event is our opportunity to celebrate the most important holiday in Asian culture together. We want to bring the business community of Midwest USA (and beyond) together to mix, mingle and enjoy a fine evening of Chinese cultural celebration.
