I thought this was very good. It covers a good portion of the 20th century, so it also includes a bit of history of how Chinese people were treated in Canada, and North America, in general, over that century. The story was interesting, and it did primarily focus on the most interesting person, in my opinion, May-ying. There was also a nice set of photos included – photos of those in both Canada and China.

This is my all time favourite #immigrantstory . I read this book many years ago, loved it and shared it with my friend and mentor. My friend's family grew up in the same part of Vancouver under similar circumstances. I have the honour of being an adopted member of her family, all the kids call me Aunty. In fact tonight we're going to a feast sponsored by the Chinatown Lioness Club with an author talking afterwards 😀🐉photo by Google
