A few weeks ago, the streets of Chinatown came to life with firecrackers and lion dances ringing in the year of the dragon. As you walk through the brightly colored 40-foot paifang — known to most as Chinatown’s Friendship Gate — you enter into a cultural oasis that has stood strong in the heart of Philadelphia for nearly 150 years. Beyond this fixture, Chinatown serves as a home to nearly 3,000 residents and numerous family-owned businesses, restaurants, shops, and community organizations.

We’ve all seen it, and most of us fall victim to it: wearing noise cancelling headphones while walking to class, or even at times, in class. I vividly recall walking into my first period class my first year of high school after winter break. Having the predictable conversation of “What did you get for Christmas?” was being returned with a widespread, unanticipated response: AirPods. That was four years ago. Now walking out on the streets of Philadelphia, or into any café, it’s rare to see a single person without the two white earbuds sticking out of their ears.
