一百多年前，第一批华人来到金斯顿——在 Princess Street
开洗衣店，在中餐馆里日夜劳作。他们的故事从未被完整地写下来。
这是一系列由本人讲述的故事——录像、录音、文字——记录这座小城里几代华人的生活。
Over a century ago, the first Chinese arrived in Kingston — laundrymen
on Princess Street, restaurateurs working dawn to closing. Their
stories have never been told whole.
This is a series of stories told in their own voices — on film, in recordings,
in writing — tracing generations of Chinese life in our small city.
「我搭乘克里夫兰号，从香港到旧金山，整整二十多天。然后再坐两天的火车到温哥华，再从温哥华一路坐到金斯顿。」
“I took the SS Cleveland from Hong Kong to San Francisco — twenty-some days. Then two days by train to Vancouver, and another train all the way to Kingston.”
我们的祖辈不写日记。
他们的故事，
这个项目，
Our elders did not keep diaries. Their stories disappear if no one asks. This project asks — before it is too late.
Do you, or someone in your family, have a story to tell?
我们正在寻找愿意分享自己故事的金斯顿华人——不论是几个月前来的，还是几代人之前。
