享誉美国的眼科專家王明旭医生和Sight 电影受邀首次巡演俄亥俄大获成功 (5/24全美上演)
2024年3月22至24日,享誉美国的眼科手术医生王明旭和以他为原型的电影Sight在俄亥俄州克利夫兰、哥伦布、代顿和辛辛那提巡演。活动包括免费播放Sight电影、见证、讲道并且和观众互动。
这是最近几周在中西部6州进行巡演的最后一站,行程包括:俄克拉荷马(Oklahoma)、圣路易斯(St Louis)、内布拉斯加(Nebraska)、爱荷华(Iowa)、维斯康星(Wisconcin)、和俄亥俄(Ohio)。
为了方便英语不好的华人观众,从去年12月初波士顿巡演开始,Sight电影就加上了中文字幕。这是一个非常重大的变化,使得英语没有那么好的华人观众有机会去看电影。
在俄亥俄总共5场,深入到俄亥俄的华人社区和主流社会,当地群众踊跃参加,活动反响热烈,盛况空前!下面是王医生在俄州第一站克利夫兰巡演活动的摄影合集,更多照片参见文末。
中国新年前一个星期,2月2日Deadline发表新闻,Angel Studio购买了Sight电影的版权,并且选择在美国亚裔月5月24日(国家纪念日周末)将在美国各地影院播放。 这对美国观众是一个大好消息,也意味王医生带着Sight 电影到全国各地给华人免费看电影的机会即将结束。已经在日历的各州仍然可以继续免费看,5月23日以后就不能免费看电影了。 所以请各地华裔观众抓紧这样百年不遇的好机会。
当然也欢迎大家提前扫(长按)下图二维码买票邀请家人朋友5月24号到电影院去看,现在买票只要$5,是正常价格的1/3,每次最多可买10张(可买多次):
“Sight”荣获美国第五十届基督教国际电影节 (ICVM)最高奖:最佳故事片奖(best theatrical release movie) ! 这是华人在历史上第一次在此大奖得到提名并获奖,是我们华人的零的突破!
从2023年夏天全美各地华人中掀起看Sight 电影的热潮以来,王明旭医生带着Sight 电影开始了在全国各地的巡演和巡讲活动—Sight 电影全国行。 Sight电影是以中国科技大学77级校友王明旭医生的自传为原型改编的励志片。 这部影片是好莱坞第一部关于中国留学生的故事,获得了国际基督徒(ICVM)电影节头奖-Gold Award-Best Picture。
王明旭医生想把电影和中国同胞分享,开始了全国行。他从田纳西州开始,走过了纽约、马里兰、奥兰多、费城、华盛顿DC、芝加哥、明尼苏达、新泽西、丹佛、匹兹堡、休斯敦、达拉斯、奥斯丁、西雅图、印第安纳普里斯、纽黑文、北达科达、堪萨斯、马里兰、波特兰、波士顿、拉斯维加斯、密歇根、佛罗里达、温哥华等30多个(州)城市。王明旭医生的目标是要走遍全美国各地以及加拿大的温哥华和多伦多,呼唤华人讲自己的故事。

Thank you for answering my questions! I showed my mom the trailer, and when it was done, my mother just sat there. I said, “That’s just a little part of the movie.” My mom wasn’t there to see the movie. Then she said, “Kajah’s stepmother is evil. Pure evil.” I was like, “yeah, it said that in India, you get more money from blind kids, so Kajah’s stepmother just poured sizzling hot oil into her eyes. You can even hear screaming!” So then my mom quietly said, “See Kajah when she met Dr. Wang? She was smiling. Such a poor little child. We can all see, and we don’t appreciate things we already have. We always want more. You don’t realize how important something is until you lose it.” We had fun talking about it, so I said, “When Kajah’s eye surgery failed, Dr. Wand almost quit his career. But he persisted, and then came another kid named Maria.” While my mom listened, her eyes grew wide. “Did her surgery work?” She asked. It didn’t matter if it was a movie, a trailer, or nothing at all, my mom was really into it. It was like she could see the entire thing! “Just keep watching.” I urged. When it came to the part where Maria was like, “I’m so beautiful!” My mother’s face sprouted into a smile. I thought she was as happy as Maria! In the movie, when Maria’s eyesight was restored, you were smiling, and were almost crying! It was like a dream come true! Then you looked up, and saw Lili smiling at you. Then she ran down the stairs. It was her first time smiling, and not talking about darkness. When you said, “If we can help Kajah out of the darkness, maybe, we can help Lili out of her’s too.” I thought no matter who it was, Lili would be proud of you. When I was young, I said, “Mom! One day, I will go to Harvard!” Then my mother chuckled, and said, “I will smile in my sleep!” Now you’ve inspired me. I am already a Christian, I pray and read the bible, but you have inspired me more. Now I know more about Christ! Thank you so much for your help on blind orphan children, and your inspiration. And, thank you for spreading your word out in an awesome heartbreaking movie!
