[quote=PINETREE ,26426]Yes, I think members here can feel your passion for China, Roger. U are really 1 of the rare species from the west ! I think another joining your rank will be Kelvin. Hahaha !!Yes, the Chinese are everywhere - the 19th century was the age of massive migration to various nearby and far off countries that required cheap labour. Unfortunately, they were not well-treated in N.America. They were denied a great deal of freedom & normal privileges accorded to "foreign talents" ! They were not even allowed to marry local gals and cannot bring their Chinese women there (if I remember correctly). They were poorly treated - just a wee bit better than slaves. Fortunately, their contributions are now recognised & documented.[/quote]
