Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is our American stories, and our next story is
about a man named Bruce Wang. He's Chinese born, a
college student in Texas, and he learned a Southern accent
by watching of all things Duck Dynasty and got a
job as a cowboy on a ranch. As you were
about to hear, Bruce maybe Chinese born, but he's all American.
(00:34):
Here's Bruce Wang to tell his story.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
My friends and partners. Has been my great honor to
be invited by mister Greg Angler to be on a
show and talk about my experience here in America. My
name is Sheba Wang, but I also go with beerce Waigh.
School is lo. I am a graduate student at Tech University,
(01:02):
but when there's no school, I am a feedlock cowboy.
As some of y'all may not expect that I am
actually from China, and it's kind of rare to see
an Asian cowboy across the country. Well, if you come
to West Texas, if you see one, that might be me.
(01:24):
I am from Queening Union, Southwest China, and the city
where I came from as the nickname of the city
of Eternal Spring, meaning that the weather in my hometown
is always like spring. All the year around. So in
a sense, I was a southernary in China that came
(01:48):
to the States and became a southernary again. But this
transformation was not as smooth as some people might assume,
because no matter where you live, life is not always easy.
About eight years ago, I said goodbye to my parents,
got on an airplane, and then came here to the States,
(02:09):
set my foot on soul of America. The very first
state that I went to for college was the state
of Oklahoma. And we got on this minivan from the
airport and the driver just took us to the campus
and I know on the map it said Oklahoma City.
So I've been sitting that mini van for a long
(02:32):
time and all I saw wash is flatness and houses
that were separated from each other as if they did
not have business with each other, which is kind of
shocking to me. But what really made me uncomfortable, at
least in the state of Oklahoma, was when it came
(02:52):
down to food. For one and a half years, I
put chocolate pudding on my pizza and my burgers. The
reason was I just couldn't get used to the taste
of American food for that period of time. But whatever
I did, I found a way to compromise so I
(03:14):
could eat burgers and go to school at the same time.
The state of Oklahoma was very welcoming to foreign students
like me. Local people were really friendly, and I didn't
feel the need to integrate much at that point because
I had a lot of friends from other countries, other continents,
(03:36):
and I was finally at that time. After the second
year of me being college, one day my mom called
and said, well, son, you need to transfer to a
bigger university with a better engineering program. Well, I thought
to myself, Well, I've been here for more than two
years and I had some fun, and I won't hurt
(03:59):
to go to other parts of the United States and
just see the rest of this country. So I agreed. Initially,
I was planning to transfer to the University of Wyoming. However,
my mentor at the time called me. Back in the
old days, he and his wife both worked at the
university where I went to school for in Oklahoma, but
(04:21):
then his wife came to Texas for her PhD program,
so he followed her. Then he called me and tried
to convince me to come down to Texas. I said,
no way, because in my mind, and upon all my
own understanding of all the stereotypes of Texas, this is
one of the least places I would ever want to
(04:43):
come now. Eventually I thought about it and reflected upon
my experiences with so called ricism in America. Then eventually
came to the conclusion that the most important determined factor
of my happiness is me, not someone else. So once
(05:07):
that thought kicked in, I decided to say, you know what,
why can't I just give Texas a try? If my
mentor came to Oklahoma, we loaded up my stuff than
we were all our way to Texas. Unfortunately, when I
got to Texas, things had a downturn. There were more
(05:31):
churches where it was a bigger campus, which made it
more difficult to make friends. And after the first semester
since I transferred to school to Texas, I decided to
drop out because coming to a bigger university with a
better engineering program made me realize I had zero interest
for being an engineer and I just did not see
(05:54):
any point for continuing my higher education. Asked me to
go to his office at the International Cultural Center and
I sat there. He basically lectured me in a mildly
loud southern accent. For some strange reason, I decided to
(06:15):
stay in college and just to finish, so at that
point I was no longer an engineering student. I switched
to my major to enter disciplinary studies, which contained three
minors instead of a major. And during that summer, my
appendix was about to burst, so I had to go
(06:38):
to the hospital and have a surgery. And during my
stay at the hospital, I had some rare opportunities to
just completely be surrounded by quietness. I couldn't move much
in my bed. I would watch TV from time to time,
but there was this one day when it was about
(06:59):
to ring side. I saw clouds getting thicker and thicker,
and then ring drops started to tap on my wings.
Everything else was just quiet, And that was the moment
I thought about how I judged myself, how wrongly I
judged a society that I didn't even know, And in
(07:23):
what other way can I further learn about the society
by integrating myself into it. The semester after that summer,
I went to a rodeo and that was life changing.
The things that changed me was not necessarily the events
that were going on during the road deal, but all
(07:44):
the people and animals that were part of the show.
There was country music playing at the background, and the
host had a very thick, yet authentic West Texan accent.
I remember seeing this little bull, probably only seven or
eight year old, with a cowboy hat on, and he
(08:04):
was in charge of that gate which controlled the movement
of all the other cattle, which were at least five
or six times his body size. Yet he was calm
and professional and for all the participants with their animals,
I was amazed by the relationships that were formed between
(08:26):
two legged creatures and four legged creatures. Roughly about a
month after the rodeo, I got my first pair of
cowboy boots and my cowboy hat. And when I put
that hat on, I couldn't remember how much regret that
just went through my body. I thought hard about how
dumb I was for not embracing this culture earlier and
(08:49):
wasted so much time on things that were not important.
So from that point on, my integression to this region
of the southern parts of the Union out of the
States started.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And you're listening to Bruce Wang tell his story, and
when we come back, we're going to hear more from Bruce.
This remarkable American story by the way, there aren't many
American Chinese, but there are a whole lot of Chinese Americans.
With that thought, we continue this story Bruce Wang's story
an immigrant song as good as we've ever heard here
(09:25):
on our American stories. And we continue here on our
American stories with the story of Bruce Wang. And this
(09:47):
is an all American immigration story, if ever we've had one.
Now let's return to Bruce Wang and his story.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I believe one of the most important things that a
person can ever do to integrate him or herself into
a community is to talk like the community. So initially
I thought it would be funny to be an aging
person with a Sunday accent. I made some jokes by
speaking with a Sunday accent in front of my classmates
(10:19):
and everybody laughed. I thought it was fun, so I
started to look for more materials to enhance my ability
to speak like a Southern nerd. But what I found
during this process of learning, the more I learned, the
more of an affection I developed for Southern accents. And
(10:40):
even though before I was able to communicate with people
in the English language, by learning the accent would open
up new windows for me to look at America. One
of the first learning materials that I used was a
video on YouTube of Jeff walk.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
But it's kind of a spokesman for this portion of
the population. I got to think, and you know, it
has reached the point where we do need a few
redneck fashion tips if you've mastered the art of putting
on makeup with your non smoking hand while driving with
(11:22):
your knee.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
That I did more research on how people talk in
the state of Georgia than eventually. I found that the
residents around the Appalachian Mountain area have the type of
accents that melted my heart most of the time. What
I further learned was that the region was devastated by
(11:49):
poverty for decades, and there were people in poverty that
I would never imagine that I would see in America.
That it was real. Learning about how people suffering that
region really made me connect with the accents better. Why
because if you think about it, all of the good
(12:10):
old classical literatures, what they reveal is suffering from people,
regardless of culture and regardless of the country. People suffering
made me resonate more with them because there are things
that were very similar between the Appalachian Mountain region and
(12:30):
my home province where I came from, we were surrounded
by mountains. In a sense, we are the urbanized Hillbillies
in China, and typically we're about ten or twenty years
behind the most developed area in China. And based on
what I learned about the Appalachian Mountain region, those people
suffering made me resonate more with them and also made
(12:55):
Southern accents dear to me. And that was the point
I decided to further master the accent. And somewhere down
the line, this show came to my attention, Duck Dynasty.
On the surface, it may seem like that the show
was about a bunch of rand next shooting ducks, but
(13:18):
what really goes deeper. The show touches about Christianity, about
family and a unity of a community, which I believe
are great values that are echoed among many other countries,
including China. Again, I could resonate with people in the show,
(13:40):
and which excavated more passion out of me to learn
the accent. Throughout this journey of learning the accent, I
laid my eyes on things that I would never look
at if I kept a judgmental attitude towards the American society.
(14:00):
And would never found comfort in knowing, listening, and speaking
another accent that is so native yet important to some
of the forgotten regions of America. Even though I was
fascinated by how all the Ratnacks lived in Duck Dynasty,
(14:21):
I didn't realize for me, as a foreigner, it would
be hard to put my hands on a firearm and
shoot ducks. So I started to think of other ways
that I could do to further Southernize myself by integrating
myself not only linguistically but economically. It's not too hard
(14:42):
to notice there are a lot of cattle here in
West Texas and cowboys, at least according to Hollywood. It's
one of the most iconic images of America and to
some degree, the southern parts of America too. So I
decided to try. I ain't getting into the cattle industry
(15:02):
at first. What I did was just to drive up
to some wrench or feet yard and have some conversations
with people who are in the beef cattle industry. And
all I did was just chatting with done. I took
some pictures of cattle and made some of my videos
under properties, and at that time that's all I thought.
(15:22):
What I could do. However, I was very amazed and
really appreciate how welcoming people in the beef cattle industry
were in West Texas to meet. So after building relationships
for one and a half years, one day I got
a call from a feet law owner and he got
a lot more cattle going into his property and he
(15:45):
needed some help. So I got my paperwork lined up
and done at the International Cultural Center, and then I
had my way to become a cowboy. The training was
not easy. I made a lot of mistakes, get screened,
dad alive, and yes, like many other cowboys out there,
(16:05):
there were times that I thought about couldn't now thinking back,
I'm glad I didn't do that. Still was a hard laugh.
Every day started early in the morning and you won't
get done until the sun goes down, and sometimes we
would be still working when the moon is up and high. However,
I would not trade anything with the experience I gained
(16:27):
on the journey of becoming a cowboy. I couldn't wait
for the school to be over so I can go
back to the Feet Guard and participate in beef cattle
production and the relationships I formed with cowboys and other
people who are in the beef cattle industry could may
not be cowboys, but still crucial to provide safe and
(16:51):
sustainable animal protein to America. There was a period of
time during my transformation where it did strug go very
much about identities. Am I Chinese? AM I American? Am
I Southerner? Or what kind of Southerner I was? From
my case, Over time, the philosophy of Buddhism really helped
(17:15):
me to ease my urgent questioning on the matter, because
eventually I do realize, no matter what identity I claim
myself to be, at the end of the day, I
put down my cowboy head, take off my cowboy boots,
and falling asleep by myself what its self? Who's really
(17:39):
able to answer that? Whenevery night, despite whoever I'm with,
or whatever I've done, or whatever I've been going through,
I fall asleep by myself. And maybe that is me
and I acknowledge that. While I was learning the accent
and trying to southern as myself further, there were times
(18:02):
that I denied to learn about other people. But if
I really think of it, everybody have two or three
meals a day, go to work, come home, and go
to sleep. No matter what color you are or no
matter what kind of identity you claim to be, it
is the same way. Everybody is fundamentally the same. So
(18:25):
on this journey of southernizing myself, it also made me
more open minded towards others, which is kind of like
the opposite of what people really perceive of how Southerners
would think of people who are different from them. At
least for me, via this journey, it was through the
(18:45):
self embodiment of Southern culture that I realized I'm not
that special, and I'm happy to be in that way too.
Through this journey, it made me pay attention to the
suffering of Maria American people, the earthiness of agriculture producers,
and the humbleness of sun and nurse. It is these
(19:08):
difficult times that make me realize how much I care
of this land which I only spent one third of
my life, and I sincerely wish my journey on this
land will continue, no matter how dark the shadows in
front of me might be or how brightly the sun
(19:31):
may arise for tomorrow. Thank you very much for listening
to my friends and partners. Wish you are safe and
wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Bye and You've been listening to Bruce Wang, and my goodness,
what a voice, what a story, what a journey. We're
broadcasting from Oxford, Mississippi, just south of Memphis. We love
the South too, so many people from here from everywhere
else in the country, having developed a real taste for
(20:03):
rural and rural suburban life and the intersection of both.
Bruce Wang's story a classic American immigrant story. Here on
our American Stories.
This is our American stories, and our next story is
about a man named Bruce Wang. He's Chinese born, a

School is lo. I am a graduate student at Tech University,

and I acknowledge that. While I was learning the accent
and trying to southern as myself further, there were times
(18:02):
that I denied to learn about other people. But if
I really think of it, everybody have two or three
meals a day, go to work, come home, and go
to sleep. No matter what color you are or no
matter what kind of identity you claim to be, it
is the same way. Everybody is fundamentally the same. So
(18:25):
on this journey of southernizing myself, it also made me
more open minded towards others, which is kind of like
the opposite of what people really perceive of how Southerners
would think of people who are different from them. At
least for me, via this journey, it was through the
(18:45):
self embodiment of Southern culture that I realized I'm not
that special, and I'm happy to be in that way too.
Through this journey, it made me pay attention to the
suffering of Maria American people, the earthiness of agriculture producers,
and the humbleness of sun and nurse. It is these
(19:08):
difficult times that make me realize how much I care
of this land which I only spent one third of
my life, and I sincerely wish my journey on this
land will continue, no matter how dark the shadows in
front of me might be or how brightly the sun
(19:31):
may arise for tomorrow. Thank you very much for listening
to my friends and partners. Wish you are safe and
wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (19:42):

what a voice, what a story, what a journey. We're
broadcasting from Oxford, Mississippi, just south of Memphis. We love
the South too, so many people from here from everywhere

(20:03):
rural and rural suburban life and the intersection of both.
Bruce Wang's story a classic American immigrant story. Here on
