How many more years do she and Philip have to enjoy their grandchildren? The next time I see you in Singapore, I want you to be holding a big bouncy baby! All this to say that the popularity of Crazy Rich Asians among Asian and non-Asian readers alike shows that audiences can still respond to characters and details they may not necessarily understand.
Cultural specificity, like the Confucian dynamics of a mother—daughter-in-law relationship, is not a barrier to entry; despite varying traditions across the world our underlying human desires remain the same. For an American audience to whom budgets are an unavoidable reality, the stories of these crazy rich Asians are more aspirational than relatable, but the gap is a product of their enormous wealth and not any racial differences.
Its influence has expanded beyond the publishing world, as even the movie industry has latched onto this new empowered narrative with the upcoming film. The economic timing is right, since Asian Americans are currently the fastest-growing nonwhite consumer group. Just as the box office for movies like Get Out has shown the benefits of films that appeal to black audiences, so Asian viewers can wield the power of the purse. Gentrification has shown us that typically as more money enters a cultural space, less of the original culture remains, like my city, Los Angeles, where ethnic families move further east as hipsters take over.

Crazy Rich Asians is a satirical romantic comedy novel by Kevin Kwan. Kwan stated that his intention in writing the novel was to 'introduce a contemporary Asia to a North American audience'. A film adaptation of the novel was released on August 15, The novel begins with a quote from the 14th-century Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta : [3].
The story revolves around the grand wedding of Singapore's most eligible bachelor, Colin Khoo, and a fashion icon, Araminta Lee, which everyone calls the wedding of the year.
While Singapore is a well-known destination with Asians and Europeans, the country has yet to become a popular choice for US travellers who lived outside the gateway cities on the eastern and western coasts.
Being the second largest economy in the world, the US presents huge potential for tourism in Asia, and specifically Singapore. The film's huge success has helped raise the profile of Singapore in the US market. However, there were some misalignments in the interplay of STB's city branding vision, the cultural connection to Singaporeans and the image that US travellers had of Singapore.
Students will apply the Vision-Culture-Image V-C-I framework to understand the critical alignment among STB's city branding vision, the cultural connection to Singaporeans and the image that US travellers have of Singapore - thereafter evaluating the effectiveness of STB's city branding approach at achieving the desired outcomes.
Her stomach felt like it had been twisted in a vise, and she smoothed out the creases on her dress nervously. She longed to get out of the car and explore this colossal estate, but something told her to remain in her seat. She paused for a moment, thinking Nick might invite her in for a drink, but no invitation seemed to be forthcoming.
Now what she really wanted to ask was, Who on earth is your grandmother? Rachel gave her friend a quick smile. Crazy Rich Asians is the outrageously funny debut novel about three super-rich, pedigreed Chinese families and the gossip, backbiting, and scheming that occurs when the heir to one of the most massive fortunes in Asia brings home his ABC American-born Chinese girlfriend to the wedding of the season.
When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home, long drives to explore the island, and quality time with the man she might one day marry.
What she doesn't know is that Nick's family home happens to look like a palace, that she'll ride in more private planes than cars, and that with one of Asia's most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back. Initiated into a world of dynastic splendor beyond imagination, Rachel meets Astrid, the It Girl of Singapore society; Eddie, whose family practically lives in the pages of the Hong Kong socialite magazines; and Eleanor, Nick's formidable mother, a woman who has very strong feelings about who her son should—and should not—marry.
