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.

After being back in Hong Kong for two years, I've had more interactions with the public on the streets. Many people comment that I appear smaller in person than on screen. Perhaps, during my time as the director of the Security Bureau, I projected an image of a "strong woman," leading people to assume I was tall, resulting in a contrast with their expectations. Additionally, I've engaged in more media interactions and personal life interviews. One recurring question is, "What kind of person are you?" It's a profound question. Who am I? After nearly fifty-eight years of life, I would describe myself as a Chinese Hong Konger, born and raised in Hong Kong. I have fond memories of the colonial era, with British colleagues and friends, and significant experiences in the UK and the US.
