商品簡介
The year is 1933, and seven-year-old Li Keng Wong's life is about to change forever. Her father, Baba, has decided to move his family from a small village in southern China to California. Now she, Mama, and her two sisters will embark on a remarkable journey that will take them halfway around the world. Getting to America is not easy. The family travels by foot, by train, and by boat. Even more difficult is getting past America's strict anti-Chinese immigration laws. To do so, the family must keep secrets and offer well-rehearsed lies to American officials. They are detained for processing along with other Asian immigrants at Angel Island, in San Francisco Bay. The conditions are harsh and uncertainty and fear hang in the air. Any misstep could mean deportation. But life in America brings many exciting surprises as well as a few disappointments. Li Keng loves the American School she attends each day and she makes friends with Chinese girls in her neighborhood. Still, the family must depend on an illegal gambling business for their income. Hunger, poverty, police raids, frequent moves, and the occasional sting of racism are a part of everyday life, but slowly Li Keng and her family find stability and a home in "Gold Mountain." An author's note contains an update on the author's adult life, and photos of family members. Also included is information on Angel Island and its significance in history as well as a brief explanation of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
