Topic: Mahjong Sisters


  
  Kung Fu Mahjong 2 (2005)
Cherrie Ying is Fanny, an extraordinarily skilled mahjong player and young housewife, who's usually forbidden from her tile-clicking addiction by husband Johnny (a smarmy Terence Yin).
Luckily, she receives additional training from her mahjong sifu Three Tiles (Wong Tin-Lam), who also schooled Auntie Fei (Yuen Qiu) from Kung Fu Mahjong 1, as well as sexy player-in-training First Love (Tiffany Lee).
With the aid of her mahjong sisters, brother Ronaldhino (Sammy), plus Auntie Fei's annoying husband Chi Mo Sai (Yuen Wah, also returning from KFM1), Fanny regroups in time to take on Curvy, Demon, and Johnnie at a climactic mahjong tournament.

In the months after his death when her grief was still raw and the loss a chasm she still had to bridge the game was continued to assuage her sorrow and brighten the new life that she had to adjust to.
Her enjoyment of mahjong and her appetite for it we see as a prerogative of her age.

Tom now teaches mahjong on several places in the USA and he is considered the 'internet mahjong guru'.

 Missoulian - Chinese-American story springs forth from Ginnie and Beth Lo   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Even so, one day three years ago, when the sisters were on sabbaticals from their jobs, Ginnie woke up one morning and wrote the book in an hour.
Mahjong, a game played with tiles that is sort of like gin rummy, was really just the subtext for a charming story about the Lo family, which played mahjong in China and brought the tradition with them when they came to the United States in 1943.
The sisters sent the book to five publishers, and although they got a rejection from a publisher of multicultural books, the book was accepted by Walker within six months of their initial entreaty.

Her brothers and sisters would visit her every so often with their families, but she didn’t need any help from them—she lived a simple life, and the money that was left to her would last until long after she died.
Her share of what she thought of as the "live" assets—the land, the machinery, the sugar trading firm—she put in the hands of her eldest brother, Rodrigo, to be kept in trust for her nieces and nephews.
She realized that all her life, she had lived as a daughter or a sister, provided for by her parents or protected by her brothers, and because all things settled, she had never had to worry about the future or make plans.

 Is this an FAQ? "Modern Japanese" Mahjong
There are numerous other "Chinese" versions of mahjong, including "Chinese Classical" (which may vary significantly within itself...) which is the main style played /outside/ of Asia today, and "Shanghai New Style".
Over 95% of existing mahjong programs (including arcade and home console programs) play Modern Japanese, and most of them cheat more or less to try to keep the game interesting without competent computer players.
The logic suposedly is that the dragon is the heraldic symbol of the "central realm", China.

In “Mahjong All Day Long,” Ginny Lo (a computer science professor by profession) tells the delightful story of her Chinese immigrant family’s preoccupation with the centuries old game of Mahjong.

If city officials give final approval to the plans, the center - with the new name of Harry Tompson Center at St. Joseph Refuge - will be relocated a few blocks away to the parking lot of St. Joseph Church in mid-January.
The space should be "celebratory," he said, a sacramental space that does not make those who are there for services feel that they are being run through an assembly line.
Although a parking lot might seem an unlikely place for a homeless center, five Presentation Sisters have been there since October, working out of a trailer providing food, toiletries and household items to the homeless and those who are trying to return home.
