Behind-the-scenes tidbits of newcomers

The play is adapted from Eddie Huang's best-selling memoir Fresh Off the Boat: Memoirs. The main characters in this play are all Asian faces. The last TV series featuring all Asian faces can be traced back to 1994' s All Beautiful Girls, a sitcom about Korean girls growing up in Los Angeles, which only aired for one season. The English name of the play "fresh off the boat" is a common expression, which literally translates as "just disembarked" and usually refers to a new generation of immigrants who go to the United States to pursue the "American dream". The poster of this play imitates grant wood's famous painting American Gothic, and it was also spoofed at the opening of Desperate Housewives. This painting is one of the most frequently mentioned works of art in American pop culture. In the painting, the person has a serious expression, conservative clothes and a fork for plowing. It is generally believed that this painting symbolizes conservatism and even depression in American culture, but this drama tries to attack and joke about it. Generally speaking, American TV shows only communicate in English, but the role of Grandma Huang played by Song Jingxiu in the play can't speak English, so Grandma Huang speaks Chinese directly, so there will be English subtitles. At the beginning of the play, it was made clear that the protagonist's family immigrated from Taiwan Province Province, but in the thirteenth episode of the first season, there were many bridges that emphasized Chinese mainland, and even the five-star red flag of Chinese mainland appeared. In fact, Huang Yiming himself was dissatisfied with the excessive adaptation of the play, and wrote on Twitter: "For the record, I don't watch I'm new here.
