Tang Fan Harmony: Chinese on the Pulse of California Mothers

This volume builds upon the previous exploration of the Chinese Freemasons in Canada and focuses on the coexistence of Chinese and Westerners during the early gold rush in California. It highlights the complexities of acceptance and rejection faced by Chinese individuals in the gold mining community of Fiddletown. The author's diligent research, humility, and insightful analysis make this book worth translating, serving as a model for the delicate relationship between interpretation and translation. With a preface by Dr. Wu Ruiqing, a scholar of American Chinese history, this revised edition titled "Tang Fan Hehe" sheds light on the significance of excavating Fiddletown and features compelling historical materials such as Chinese family letters and records of repatriating ancestral remains. By reconstructing this history, it aims to inspire the creation of a humane and egalitarian society that our ancestors envisioned.
