We Were Dreamers An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story
In this hilarious and heartfelt memoir, Simu Liu, the star of Marvel's first Asian-led superhero movie, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, shares his own 'origin story' of growing up between cultures and finding his way to the big screen. Born in Harbin, China, and raised in Canada, Liu chronicles his family's journey as immigrants, the high expectations and cultural clashes he experienced with his parents, and his unconventional path to stardom. After being laid off from his job as an accountant, Liu decided to pursue his true passion for acting, leading to a journey of self-discovery and reconciliation. We Were Dreamers is a story about the immigrant experience, the struggle to forge one's own identity, and the courage it takes to chase a dream against all odds.
