题外话:贵为总统的奥巴马,人们感知的首先是他是黑人,然后才是他是总统。老骆一样,华裔也一样!

主要介绍了他的生平,但没有提到那在这著名的“"Don't shoot! I'm Chinese.", 但在CNN的报道中提到了:

题外话:单从这个细节,可以看到nytimes和cnn的区别。

这是他的电邮:
"Greetings, Conor:
First of all, thank you for sending me two copies of your film "Finnigan's War". I think it is a fitting tribute to your late grandfather who certainly did HIS part in making his war unforgettable. I particularly enjoyed the fine artistic depiction of the actions for which he and others were cited. At first, I was frankly skeptical of how your youthful enthusiasm for your project can make newer generations, surfeited with interminable U.S. involvement in wars and conflicts, give a fig in righting a woefully wrong image of one of the most intense and just wars engaged in by our forebears over 60 years ago. Of course I am one of the living relics left who can talk about it. (Am not sure whether you should be praised or condemned for including me in that democratic panoply you chose to tell your story.) Surprised to see me so mild and complaisant. Not the "ferocious warrior" who never cracked a smile in uniform, as my men later described me. In fact, I was taken aback by a female cashier at the PX gas station at Camp Lejeune, who had apparently been observing me for awhile, suddenly blurted out one day, "Captain, don't you ever smile??" Your film showed how long retirement and age have worn down my jagged edges. I commend you for a job "Well Done!" on your film. I hope the public will accept and treat it with the respect it deserves. It was a brilliant stroke to provide just a touch of sweetness at the end in having this winsome Hannah express her gratitude for the sacrifices and hardships endured by the U.S. military for her country. Semper Fi, Kurt Lee"
