Simple is Gold For the Chinese People in "Golden Mountain"

In this book Choi said "[Paper history still exists, stories of history and conversation are mixed" (Choi 51). In addition, they do not want to remember their dark past by making stories and talking to others about their true past. Everyone in Chinatown knows that "true" history is very dark, frustrated, even worse than the former servant Paw Paw who worked for the family of wealthy Ching It does not mean. For example, a novel describes "[e] every day's work of everyone very well, but not necessarily everyone is doing it" (Choi 61).

In fact, it is not Jinshan. As a student in the history of Asian Americans knows, the Chinese in the 19th century called San Francisco "Jinshan". That name seems to be text and metaphor. SF and Northern California are known for the 19th century gold rush and have the same name in SF 49 rs and California nickname "Golden State". California Golden Poppy's "gold" of the state flower is a tribute to "gold" that is unevenly distributed not only in the vivid orange color but also in the history of California and in our dreams. And the vision of California. San Francisco and California are said to be "golden". Is not it so? For Chinese immigrants of the 19th century and today's Chinese immigrants, this is not a fact. In fact, the opposite is true.

Mandarin is "Kudo mountain", which means "old Kanayama". It is said that San Francisco is still a variety of "golden mountains" - China and other Asian utopias. But that is not the case. Immigrants from southern China in the 19th century soon knew that SF is a very dangerous, horrible and racist place. Badge gold mountain is very ironic. When Greenland is called Greenland, when it is all ice and cold climate, Iceland is called Iceland, when it becomes a green geothermal hot spring. Indeed, Gold Mountain is reminiscent of Pinterest-y Tolkien's words.

Many Chinese came to participate in the gold rush. White men wait for Chinese to find money and shoot them to accept their request. Many Chinese are working in railroads and their body is used as an example to keep Irish and black body arrangement. When the railroad was completed, the body of China lost its use and was excluded from the historical framework - literally, none of the famous "Golden Spike" pictures contained 11,000 Chinese. After the railroad, the Chinese called it "driving time". Immigration law prohibits Chinese women. Chinese men are "offered" to return home without knowing that they can not go home. The Chinese were shot, raped, beaten, stolen, escaped at the inside, inside and outside of the judicial regulations. Most of the Chinese people who continue to work in the United States live in Chinatown and gather, there is no work for white people like laundry.
