Panning for gold, making ties for the railroad, canning fish, running laundries and restaurants, the Chinese settlers survived despite persecution by the local populace and the provincial and federal governments. Relations with the northern tribes, including reports of trips made by Chinese as early as 458 BC, make this book one of the most thoroughly-researched histories of Chinese settlement in British Columbia.

Early Chinese settlers in BC lived a shadowy life. Sometimes feared, always misunderstood, these people farmed, mined, and lived in central BC with hopes of returning home to their villages with riches. However, they faced crime, beatings and death in a foreign land. Chow brings us forward from those early days of Chinese settlements to present day when Chinese citizens are celebrated for their role in BC’s history.
