Sonia Yee was kind enough to provide me with a preview of Part Three of her series,
The Golden Tide (
see earlier post here), which appears on
Radio New Zealand National each Sunday at 2.30 p.m. from December 28. I’m thrilled with this episode, which airs January 11: she chose some of my better quotes and discarded my non sequiturs, for which I am very grateful. This is required listening: this is not “a
Chinese programme” per se. The musical score is
outstanding, as is the post work. It is a commentary about
cultural identity, and about what it means to be a
New Zealander. In a nation where everyone, including the Māori, can trace their roots to another land, we need to understand issues such as pigeon-holing, marginalization,
stereotypes, assimilation and
identity.
