'Cinema Love is not just an extraordinary debut but a future classic' Jessamine Chan, author of The School for Good Mothers
For over thirty years, Old Second and Bao Mei have cobbled together a meagre existence in New York City's Chinatown. But unlike other couples, these two share an unusual past. In rural Fuzhou, before they emigrated, they frequented the Workers' Cinema, where gay men cruised for love.
While classic war films played, Old Second and his fellow countrymen found intimacy in the privacy of the Workers' Cinema's screening rooms. Elsewhere, in the box office, Bao Mei sold tickets to closeted men - guarding their privacy and finding her own happiness with the projectionist. But when their secrets are unveiled, they set in motion a series of haunting events that propel Old Second and Bao Mei towards an uncertain future in America.
Spanning three timelines - post-socialist China, 1980s Chinatown, and contemporary New York - Cinema Love is a tender epic about men and women who find themselves in forbidden and frustrated relationships as they grapple with the past and their unspoken desires.

across oceans, across time
going in i hoped to read more of the cinema story itself. but that story truly is only a part of a grander scheme, deservably so. it is also not a coming of age story as i thought it would be. as we dive into a china being modernized and drift into an immigrant america we learn how to live with grieve of both, the dead and alive. and i think its beautiful how the ending is piecing it all together. there’s a quiet rhythm to the way jiaming tang writes, like hes letting you sit in the silences between sentences. the characters feel both ordinary and larger than life, and even when they’re far from the cinema, you still feel its shadow over everything. its less about the movies themselves and more about the stories we carry, and how we keep replaying them in our heads long after the credits roll.
