Nanjing Archives Found Gu Ailing's Grandma's registered residence Card

 On February 22 Beijing time, in the women's freestyle skiing halfpipe final at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Chinese athlete Eileen Gu won the championship.
At the post-race press conference, Eileen Gu revealed that she had just learned of her grandmother's (Eileen Gu refers to her grandmother as "grandma") passing.
Eileen Gu said her grandmother held an extremely important place in her life, serving as a role model she always admired. "She was incredibly strong, a warrior," she recalled. "Many people just drift along with life, but she didn't. Like a ship steering its own course, she shaped her life into what she desired."
Eileen Gu's grandmother, Feng Guozhen, was a top student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in the 1950s and a key player on the university's women's basketball team. After graduation, she became a senior engineer at the Ministry of Transport. After her granddaughter was born, Feng Guozhen moved to the U.S. to care for her daily life and education. She taught Eileen Gu Chinese, Chinese cuisine, and Chinese stories from a young age, and took her back to Beijing for summer stays each year, allowing her to experience Chinese culture firsthand.

Eileen Gu introduced her grandmother as being from Nanjing, Jiangsu.

R1: "Hukou" must be translated as registered residence.  The staff at the Nanjing Municipal Archives located Feng Guozhen's hukou card and student records based on existing leads. On February 26, the archives staff showed these precious documents to reporters.
Stroke by stroke, it records the image of this elderly woman in her youth: she lived, studied, and grew up in Nanjing. This city was also a part of her life journey.

‘Sinners’ is so much chaos around it

 

 

“Sinners,” the celebrated R&B singer and songwriter knew the song he wanted to write before he hung up the phone.

Saadiq felt guided, picked up a guitar and a few hours later, he and Coogler’s longtime collaborator, composer Ludwig Göransson, had written “I Lied to You,” the now Oscar nominated song sung by newbie actor Miles Canton in the role of blues musician Sammie “Preacher Boy” Moore.

“I was sitting there going ‘Preacher’s son who plays blues, and it’s gonna be hard for him to get out to church and go do what he wants to do,’” Saadiq recalled in an interview with CNN. “I lived that life. A lot of my friends lived that life.”

“Sinners” has felt guided from the beginning by those who have gone before in the Black community, with Coogler bringing all that history and ancestorial memory – both the bitter and the sweet – to the big screen.

On its surface, “Sinners” is a story about twin brothers returning to their Mississippi hometown for a fresh start, only to face vampires who threaten their dream — and lives.

But it is so much more than that. It is a statement about racial injustice, how we are all connected by our collective history, religion, faith, music and family trauma, all wrapped in a fantastical, Southern Gothic tale.

That such a film would go on to break the record for most Oscar nominations — with 16 including best film and best director for Coogler — is a fulfillment of the ancestors’ dreams. (The film is produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, which is owned by CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.)
