Specifications
The protagonist of Marvel's first superhero film with an Asian heritage, "Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings," tells his own origin story as a Chinese immigrant, his struggles with cultural stereotypes and moral identity, his transition into a television star, and securing the role of his life.
With humor and sincerity, Simu Liu documents his family's journey from China to the bright lights of Hollywood. At a young age, his parents left him in the care of his grandparents, relocating him to Canada when he was four years old. However, Simu soon realizes that his new guardians lack the tenderness of his grandparents, resulting in harsh words and hurt feelings between him and his parents, who find their son emotionally distant and difficult to relate to.
Though related by blood, they are divided by culture, language, and values. In his development, Simu plays the role of the perfect obedient child—achieving high grades, excelling in national math competitions, and making his parents proud. However, over time, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the path set out for him.
Less than a year after graduating, he is fired from his first job and hits rock bottom. He develops a determination focused on creating his own path. This leads him not only to success as an actor but also to repairing his relationship with his parents.
"We Were Dreamers" is a story about growing up between cultures, finding your family, and mastering your own extraordinary circumstances. Pages: 304, Dimensions: 12.9x12.9cm.
