Closing a Historical Gap

It is at the kind invitation of Madame May Chen, I compose this preface to A Legacy Magnified. Although I am not a specialist in Asian American Studies, I am fully cognizant of the significance of this book in terms of its collecting, arranging and preserving the historical documents for the Chinese and the community at large in Southern California. I wish to take this opportunity to share my personal observations and reflection with its readers.

I made acquaintance with Madame Chen, editor-in-chief of this book, at the inauguration of the Taiwan Academy 台灣書院 back in October 2011. I learned that she was in the process of mobilizing writers for the publication of A Legacy Magnified: A Generation of Chinese Americans in Southern California, 1980’s-2010’s. I was both excited and curious. I was excited because I was able to meet Madame Chen and her team and to understand more about the source materials for the book as well as how these materials are to be utilized. Such information would be useful for UCLA’s East Asian Library to gain understanding of the community and to serve the Library’s patrons better. I was also curious. One and a half centuries have elapsed since the Chinese landed in Southern California. Chinese are found everywhere in the Southland. As the second largest Chinese conglomeration in America, how could it be possible that no one has ever written a book on the history the Chinese in Southern California in general and in Los Angeles in particular?

Intrigued by this question in mind, I searched various bibliographies and data banks. To my surprise, I discovered that although over 800,000 of Chinese from various parts of the world have settled here in the Los Angeles area, there are only some scattered family histories are in existence, such as Louise Leung’s Sweet Bamboo: A Memoir of a Chinese American Family, written by a grand-daughter of Tom Leung 譚良. In this book, the author details Tom Leung’s experience and the life of his family in Los Angeles. The author also mentions Leung’s association with Kang Youwei 康有爲 and with Kang’s Society for the Preservation of the Monarchy 保皇會. I was unable to locate any historical work that studies the overseas Chinese as a whole. This being the case, the work of Madame Chen and her team most definitely fills in the gap in this unprecedented undertaking. She and her team command my highest respect.

How does Chen’s team cover the overseas Chinese as an integral whole? To find out, I visited the office of the book’s Editorial Board situated in a large classroom at the Sunshine Education Center, a Chinese language school founded by May Chen. On the blackboard, an outline of the book was clearly written, containing a total of 17 chapters. Along the walls of the classroom there were tables upon which all the collected books, documents, and other materials were on display. Plans and progress for each chapter and their respective sections were also made available on these tables. A Legacy Magnified is extensive in scope. It covers Chinese American communities, Overseas Chinese organizations, political participation, rights campaign, mass media, education, arts, urban construction, large and medium-sized enterprises, business and industries of all kinds, family structure, ethics, and religious beliefs. It amounts to nothing less than an encyclopedia of the Chinese Americans in Southern California. Chen’s team wishes to document and to present a panoramic perspective of the Chinese Americans in this region during the past 30 years through this book.

As a librarian, I am particularly interested in the collection of source materials. Since Madame Chen was previously the editor-in-chief of So Cal Community News, she relied upon the input of a vast number of Chinese here. Her team adopted a variety of means to collect materials.

Turning of the Tide

In 2011, I received a call from Shui Yin Lo 盧遂顯, a Ph.D. in quantum physics from the University of Chicago. A meticulous researcher, Dr. Lo was looking for a specialist in Chinese American Studies with bilingual proficiency and found me from UCLA’s Asian American faculty roster. He told me that Asian-American Cultural and Educational Foundation, which he led, was working on a book entitled A Legacy Magnified: A Generation of Chinese-Americans in Southern California, 1980’s to 2010’s (in Chinese). His wife, May Chen, served as the chief editor. I was deeply moved by the passion, effort and dedication of Dr. and Mrs. Lo and all the people who were directly or indirectly engaged in this immense project. When I was invited to write a preface for this book, I felt honored and delighted. As an immigrant from China and a student of contemporary Chinese diasporas, I also consider it a rare opportunity that allowed me to immerse myself in my own history.

Looking back, the history of the Chinese in America was filled with hardship, humiliation, struggle and triumph. The passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act by U.S. Congress in 1882 plunged Chinese Americans into a deep abyss, which lasted for 60 years. During WWII, the Act was repealed, but its negative effect still lingered even as Chinese began to rise up in American society. The lenient sentence made in the murder case of Vincent Chin in 1982 is a good case in point. This case reflected deep-rooted discrimination against the Chinese in American society. Fortunately, on June 18, 2012, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution to apologize to Chinese-Americans. Members of both Houses issued an apology for the Chinese Exclusion Act. This historical event resulted from years of concerted effort on the part of Chinese-Americans. Incidentally, A Legacy Magnified covers the period framed approximately by these two historical events. I would guess that the compilers of this book may have had these two events in mind when they decided on the time frame for the book.

In the mid-19th century, the gold rush attracted a large number of Chinese to San Francisco (called Gold Mountain by the overseas Chinese) in California. Later tens of thousands of Chinese workers came to construct the First Continental Railway. Suffering from homesickness and racial discrimination, the Chinese still made an indelible contribution to the farming, manufacturing and service sectors in the development of California. Now, the Chinese constitute 10% of the overall population in the state. They play an important role in its social and economic development. Southern California is well-known to the world as a major center of entertainment, mass media, aeronautics and space research, pharmaceuticals, and other high-tech industries. It is also home to reputable academic institutions such as UCLA, Caltech, USC, Claremont McKenna College, and Harvey Mudd College. Currently, the overall Chinese population in America is about 3.8 million (according to the 2010 Census). The Chinese population in Southern California alone is over 800 000. In the past 30 years, the Chinese in this region have flourished and distinguished themselves in politics, economy, education, technology and the arts. Many have successfully merged themselves into the mainstream society in America. Success stories include Dr. Judy May Chu趙美心, the first Chinese Congresswoman in American history, Dr. Roger Youchien Tsien 錢永健, a Nobel Laureate in Chemistry from University of California, San Diego, Ming Hsieh 謝明, an entrepreneur who donated US$85 million to the University of Southern California, and Walter Wen-hsiang Wang王文祥, a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist. The list goes on and on. They are all the pride of the Chinese in Southern California. As we look back, we cannot help but sigh. There is a great change of fortune for Chinese Americans here. Indeed, as a Chinese saying goes, “there are thirty years’ ebb and there are thirty years’ flow.”

The Asian-American Cultural and Educational Foundation was established in 1989, chaired by Ms. May Chen. Chen was formerly a lecturer in the Department of Chinese at the Chinese Culture University in Taiwan. She came to America in 1977. In 1980, she ran Nanhua Daily, the first Chinese community newspaper in L.A., which appealed to both new and old Chinese-Americans. This pioneering work promoted prosperity in the Chinese newspaper industry. In 1987, Chen plunged herself into the field of education and established Huaxing College and Sunshine Education Center. She has also become a pioneer in pre-school education and after-school programs. Over three years ago, she took the initiative to organize and compile this huge historical piece entitled A Legacy Magnified. This work proceeds with a line of thinking that is very creative. Instead of brooding over a sad and, at times, bloody, historical past, it focuses on the success stories of Chinese-Americans today. It sheds a positive light on the Chinese in America.

In the process of writing this voluminous work, we see the unity and cooperation of the Chinese in Southern California at their best. Under a limited budget, the compiling committee made light of many difficulties. Besides sorting through articles solicited from the public, they also conducted interviews with over 500 persons from various classes and professions. The interviewees included many eminent Chinese. The committee collected the material from oral history, while sorting, verifying and synthesizing them on the basis of individual experience, reflections and life paths. As a result, the book before you is a great work with distinctive viewpoints and convincing arguments. Besides the history of immigration and the history of political participation, the compilers give prominence to the arduous journey that the Chinese underwent to protect their civil rights. The book also elaborates on the accomplishments that the Chinese have achieved in technology, education and high-tech companies. Besides these, the book also surveys the essence of Chinese culture such as philosophy and thought, language, medicine and literature, and arts. The essence of Chinese culture is an indispensable spiritual pillar for the Chinese, which they cannot lack even as they seek to merge into the mainstream society. Furthermore, the book highly commends the stable Chinese family structure, eminent Chinese women and new-generation Chinese. It appeals to the Chinese to give back to society, respect different religious beliefs, and to respect American values, as a way to merge into mainstream society.

Admittedly, no one in the compiling team is a professional historian specializing in the study of Chinese-Americans. They have made their utmost effort, and are meticulous in putting together a book that approaches perfection in both form and content. Their objective is to adopt a broad vision and take a positive angle, using solid data and plain language to portray the glorious journey that has been undergone by Chinese-Americans. It is meant to inspire Chinese-American readers in all ranks to move forward, to feel proud of being Chinese in America, and to instill in them a sense of optimism. The compilers have clear objectives and position themselves well. The book has quite a few distinctive features. In particular, the historical material it uses comes from grassroots communities with various backgrounds. The grassroots nature of the source material and its originality especially characterize this book.

Finally, this book has a rich content, presented sometimes by narration, and sometimes by commentary. It is only appropriate that shihua 史話, or informal historical narrative, is adopted here. I believe this book is good news for the overseas Chinese in America and elsewhere.
