...movie, set in Manhattan, centers around Wai-Tung, (Winston Chao), a Taiwanese Yuppie, and his lover of five years, Simon(Mitchell Lichtenstein). Wai-Tung's unsuspecting parents, who live in Taiwan, are worried their only son will never marry, and as a result constantly suggest suitable young women for Wai-Tung. They even go so far as to enroll Wai-Tung in a dating service in Taiwan. Wai-Tung, in an effort to end his parents' badgering, describes his ideal woman as 5'9", a double Ph.D, an opera singer and fluent in five languages. Even this did not stop...
...Wedding Banquet is slimmer, more anecdotal, but has the same theme: the sacrifices that old-fashioned parents and modern kids make for one another.

...some, there is another avenue to the way, the truth and the life. The African Heritage Study Bible (Winston-Derek Publishers; $39.95) keeps to the King James Version and adds scholarly chapters on such topics as ancient Black Christians and "African Edenic Women and the Scriptures." It also features 25 original slave songs and 57 pages of photos and artwork in which all the biblical characters are black -- and never lose their dignity...
