Olivia Liang 🦋 梁安平

Eddie Liu 劉立德

The original Kung Fu starred a white actor as the half-Chinese Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine. This modern-day adaptation is entirely different—starting with its predominantly Asian cast. 

@olivialiang_ @eddieliuwho spoke to me about reclaiming the series https://t.co/0UuOShOkWc

We also talked about the timing of the release coinciding with the recent anti-Asian attacks. I've been thinking a lot about these words from @eddieliuwho

And love this from @olivialiang_ about why characters "existing" onscreen is powerful for representation. Also, was of course so excited to learn that Olivia is Taiwanese too! 🤗
