Wu took to Twitter on Tuesday to remind her followers that this moment in entertainment is truly historic, not just for her and her fellow _Crazy Rich Asian_ cast members, but for everyone who hasn’t seen themselves in mainstream narratives in the past. She then thanked the Asian American folks who have encouraged and taught her along the way. “I hope Asian American kids watch CRA and realize that they can be the heroes of their own stories,” she wrote. “I know CRA won’t represent every Asian American. So for those who don’t feel seen, I hope there is a story you find soon that _does_ represent you. I am rooting for you. We’re not all the same, but we all have a story.” Wu later emphasized the significance of what it meant for her to be the leading lady in a major Hollywood film as the “American daughter of immigrants.” “Immigrant stories are the stories of dreams, of love, of sacrifice, of courage, of honor. They are truly what make America great.” See Wu’s full remarks on Twitter below. > [](https://twitter.com/ConstanceWu/status/1024449682766852096) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5355015/constance-wu-crazy-rich-asians-tweet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5355015/constance-wu-crazy-rich-asians-tweet/"},"headline":"'I Am Rooting For You.'
