LA Times — Interview & Feature (2013/01/13)
Following coverage from CTi TV, ETTV, the World Journal, and other Chinese-language media, Jingmommy’s years of deep-rooted work and dedication in America were finally discovered and featured by mainstream American media — the LA Times. This article was published in the LA Times on January 13, 2013, representing a moment when Chinese culture began receiving significant attention and discussion from American media. Being featured in the Los Angeles Times is a testament to the entire team’s collective efforts. Jingmommy continues to raise its standards and expand the variety of postpartum meal services it offers to moms in America, caring deeply about every mom’s ability to comfortably complete her confinement far from home.
The LA Times article presents the journey of Chinese American mothers doing confinement in America — exploring not only the concepts behind Chinese postpartum traditions, but also the experiences and stories of moms navigating confinement in the United States. The reporting perspective recognizes the uniqueness of Chinese postpartum practices, examining their credibility and historical value through the lens of the journalist’s own perspective. While American society may have limited understanding of Chinese-style confinement practices, the mutual exchange and two-way dialogue that emerges from such coverage allows the concept of postpartum confinement to gain deeper understanding in American society, correcting stereotypes and misconceptions in mainstream media.
The featured interview subject was Jingmommy client Ginny Hung, who generously shared her experience ordering Jingmommy meals and the benefits of a proper postpartum recovery. Another focal point was Jingmommy’s well-known Tasting Party event, which the LA Times reporter attended in person to taste the food and observe the full event. The hope is that greater understanding will allow traditional Chinese wisdom to be shared with American society.
Jingmommy is honored to have been part of this historic moment and continues to uphold its commitment to providing delicious, professional postpartum meals to moms in every corner of America — helping everyone become healthier and more radiant with each birth!
