Background
By 1852, the year when this story takes place, around 25,000 Chinese had immigrated to California to find gold or other work. At that time, there was not enough food in China which led to starvation. This meant people had to leave China to survive.
![Page 23: Journal of Wong Ming-Chung Introduction](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062307/55573a83d8b42a320c8b5360/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Background
Gold mining in California changed the land in many ways, some of them were not good. The chemical mercury, which was used to separate gold from rock, is still in river water of our area today. Hills and mountains were “moved” to find gold. Some places still cannot support plants because of what happened.

Background
Most Chinese immigrants did not become rich from gold mining, but were able to survive by finding other work. Most of the work was hard, manual labor (like building the railroads). They often sent the money they made home to China, to help their families.

Background
Chinese immigrants often worked together as a form of protection. White miners were often often prejudiced, and would sometimes threaten and hurt the Chinese.
