In this dramatic memoir of early-twentieth century immigration, author Li Keng Wong shares her family?s journey from rural China to a new life in California. In 1933, seven-year-old Li Keng?s life changed forever. Her father decided to bring his family from a small village in southern China to California. Getting to America was not easy. Getting past America?s strict anti-Chinese immigration laws was even more difficult. Any misstep could mean deportation and disgrace for their family. Life in America during the Great Depression brought many exciting surprises as well as a few disappointments. Hunger, poverty, police raids, frequent moves, and the occasional sting of racism were a part of everyday life, but slowly Li Keng and her family found stability and a true home in ?Gold Mountain.? | Good Fortune by Li Keng Wong, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
