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。岁月流转，一代又一代人在此落地生根，但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，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. As the
decades passed, generation after generation put down roots here —
yet their stories have never been told whole.
This is a series of stories in their own voices, tracing generations
of Chinese life in our small city.
「当时王先生只有12岁，他从香港坐飞机先到旧金山，结果到了旧金山就在机场被滞留，因为当时的法律规定，像这样年龄的少年是不可以独自旅行的。」
“He was only twelve. He flew from Hong Kong to San Francisco, where he was held at the airport — the law of the day said a boy that age could not travel alone.”
Do you, or someone in your family, have a story to tell?
