by Moninisha Yadav

Although severe cases of COVID-19 mainly affect the elderly and immunocompromised physically, young people have been challenged emotionally and mentally in the past two years. High schoolers ranging from freshmen to graduating seniors had shared and varying experiences. While all tried their best to adapt to a new normal of remote learning, each individual dealt with the sudden and unexpected changes differently based on their situations. Quarantine restrictions forced schools across the country to shift to remote learning. “No one […]

District Kitchen: the Modern Chinese Restaurant

by Anna Ing

The modern Chinese food restaurant District Kitchen, located just steps from the Malden Center T station, is open for dine-in, takeout and delivery.  It has a cozy, but casual bar and dining room, differing from the usual, simple mom-and-pop takeout Chinese restaurants. We dined there recently for Lunar New Year, enjoying some appetizers to-go. Since it was the holiday, we wanted to order dumplings, or jiaozi. The dumpling shape resembles the ancient Chinese gold ingot. For Chinese people during the Lunar New Year, […]

The China Pavilion Remembered

by Richard Auffrey

Empty lots often attract the interest of passersby, as does the one on Hudson street in Boston’s Chinatown.  Except for a 2019 project carried out by the Chinese Historical Society of New England and sponsored by the Boston City Archeological Program, its history may have been lost.

On that exterior wall, still rests a sign advertising the China Pavilion (pictured […]

SFFA v. Harvard

by Chelsea Wang

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear cases challenging affirmative action–race-conscious–admissions policies at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA), an organization led by legal strategist Edward Blum, sued the universities in 2014, alleging that their admissions policies discriminate against Asian American and white applicants. SFFA accused Harvard of discriminating against Asian Americans through the personal rating–which purports to measure personality traits such as leadership and kindness–it assigns to each applicant. On January 24, […]

China’s Life and Death Battle Against COVID

by guest

Even two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the contrast between case counts in the United States and China—where the outbreak began—are startling. In China, the number of total confirmed COVID cases stood at 143,624 by Feb. 14, with 5,706 deaths and 9,017 currently positive with the disease. That’s in a nation of over 1.4 billion people. By the same day, the US had clocked in a total of 79,325,576 confirmed Covid cases, a devastating 943,411 deaths, and 28,545,272 currently testing […]

Five Steps to Getting the Job You Want

by Christopher John Stephens

The most recent Federal job market report showed a strong economy rebuilding itself in spite of Covid waves. Employers added nearly half a million jobs in January 2022. Even more surprising to many, the restaurant and hotel industry has started adding jobs. President Biden noted, with the usual flair seen from Chief Executives, “America’s job machine is going stronger than ever.” What does this mean? We can certainly be comforted by numbers by the definitive objectivity of numbers, but there’s […]
