Honoring AALDEF: Highlights from Fusong

Honoring the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund
FUSONG, a new musical by Christine Toy Johnson and Cecilia Lin, tells the story of two Chinese women in two different centuries linked by their complicated destiny. As Fusong is kidnapped from her small village in China and thrown into the dark world of San Francisco’s Chinatown in 1866, Isabel, a novelist, grapples with her books being banned and how the truth of Fusong’s story impacts her own place in the divided America of 2025. A story about honor, duty, sacrifice, love, and the kind of endurance that transcends time.
Based on “The Lost Daughter of Happiness” by Geling Yan
Directed by: Gabriel Barre
