By Jiawen Wang & Feng Yin, St. Cloud State University freshmen
Editor’s Note: Long before Mar. 1, when the Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the Houston Rockets and Yao Ming at Target center, a group of Chinese undergraduate students (many freshmen) at SCSU wanted only one thing: to watch Yao Ming play in person for the first time in their lives. Richard He, president of China Insight, introduced them to Patrick Floey from Minnesota Timberwolves Group Ticket Sales to help the group get the best seats available. Feng Yin and Jiawen, two freshmen from Hunan Province, China, volunteered to cover the event and game for China Insight. Jiawen took numerous photos and wrote the article with Yin. Yin planned the trip, including purchasing tickets, renting a bus, and handling logistics. Over 20 students arrived at Target Center via charter bus around 5 p.m. and left for SCSU around 10 p.m. after the game.

Rewritten by David Henry Hwang, this 2002 Broadway play has been updated to a very different world than the one in which the original musical was created. Mu Performing Arts is presenting this new production at the McKnight Theatre at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in St. Paul from June 27 to July 12. This production will contain new choreography by Cui Tianjiang, artistic director of the Minnesota Chinese Dance Theatre.

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar, and for two days this celebration came to life at a St. Paul school.
