Thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign, I’m now working full time on this very personal project. In 2018, I decided to create my own solo-studio: Canari Games. I’ve contributed to a dozen games such as Flinthook, Halfway, Shovel Knight Showdown, Adventure Time, Mercenary Kings Reloaded and Rivals of Aether. I grew up in France and live in Montreal.

“It is important and is worth (it) to preserve our culture and values over schoolwork.” “Just spending time to prioritize the fact that family is really important, and talking about our elders and the history we’ve been through that has brought us to where we are now,” said Chinsen, who has a 12-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter.

The family follows customs including eating a traditional dinner, creating an altar for their ancestors, cleaning the house, and hanging up Chinese couplets on doors and windows to attract good luck. “So that’s why I just want to speak up, just saying I hope they reconsider.”Īnother resident, Susan Chinsen, 47, said she felt the committee’s decision was “deaf and not aware.” On Lunar New Year, Chinsen said her children stay home from school. “I really (felt) that we do have a voice in Quincy, so passing this New Year holiday should be easy,” Lee said in an interview. Resident Esther Lee, 59, whose grandson attends Snug Harbor Elementary School, said she was surprised they voted against recognizing the holiday. A petition pushing for the school holiday, which was started by an Asian-American high school student in Quincy, gained over a thousand signatures. Lunar New Year, the families argued, is the most important holiday in the Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean cultures, among others.

She also noted, “Their peers will miss the benefit of their presence.” “These students will miss teaching,” said Kate Campbell, 58, the mother of two Asian American high schoolers. One parent noted that Asian students will miss out on valuable learning time if Lunar New Year is not a school holiday.

“This moment is about saying to the second largest population of Quincy, with zero representation in the school calendar year, that we see you,” Bartholomew Jae, 50, a parent of two, said during the public comment portion of the meeting. Parents and students held signs with messages such as “Representation Matters” and “The City of Quincy should support Asians,” to sway the committee to establish the holiday. Asian students comprise the largest ethnic group in Quincy schools, making up 39.3 percent of the total 9,649 students enrolled in the district this year, according to state enrollment data.
