I like to first express the struggle of the Asian people as it come to light my Sui Sin Far.
Sui-Sin Far a Chinese student who had graduated from Yale in 1887. Sui-Sin Far was born in Marcclesfied England a silk center in 1865.After a series of far china force to open it doors to merchant and missionaries from the West, furthering European and North American to colonize China recourses, including its people. This gave Sui Sin Far to see both side of the struggle having a Chinese mother and an English father. (p.3). The injustice on both side the silent and sometime open prejudice of one culture compel Sui Sin Far to write short stories and inform others of this plight torn in between to culture and country. One of her stories "In a trouble land of the free" she explains of a Marry couple traveling from one land to a free land, almost giving up hope to gain custody of their child. They had paper for themselves but decided to t travel to China to have a child born there little did known to them the grief they had cause them self. Now they did not have paper for the child when the return to the free land and had to get a lawyer, which no money was available between them and having to give up their personal jewelry for payment.
The story show how going from one county to another with their child, however they had to own to the part they play in it knowing the child needed paper and freedom is not free in any land.
The Chinese Lily
In this short story was filled with caring, love for other. Sin far who name meant pure love or Chinese lily and how her name fitted her. Being in a strange land with both parents and uncle had pass away Sin far found the time to me concern about other in this case her cripple neighbor.(" what beneficicent sprit move to my door"p103 Sin far had wanted to visit and be friend with her neighbor but was waiting for the right moment. That moment was when her neighbor brother was not home. The love for other was even deeper when Mermei believed that her bother did not care about here because of her condition. When the bother paid little attention to here, but Sin far was lonely also when throw she could walk and had a beautiful sprit she had another loneliness being in a strange county, it is safe to say that loneness lies within one self and a condition of the heart. This stories defect two lonely people one with a phicical handicap and the other with an absent of her country, which she miss so much. In the twist of the story the brother evaluate his true love for his sister by saving her from the fire, also Sin un selfishness dies so the handicap friend and the brother wound be more closer to each others. The separation of one from country or self can be equal to each other.
Take a person out of their country and isolate them, treat them less then is a violation of someone that what to be free. Isolate someone from others is a violation of someone that also what to be free from loneness. Surely, taking someone from their country or going to a country for a new life, hope and freedom do no come without a price. Some question must be ask and considered, Will I be accepted by other? Will I adjust to the new environment? What are the law and View to my culture? On February 9, 1942 In an atmosphere of World War II Hysteria, President Roosevelt, encouraged by official at all level of the federal government, authorized the interment of ten of thousands of American citizen of Japanese ancestry and resident of aliens from Japan. Ban any citizen Fifty –to sixty –mile coastal area stretching from Washington state to California and extending inland into southern Arizona. (Executive Order 9066). So the bias was real then and is real now.
The Smuggling of Tie Co
This story discusses a cleaver gentlemen that made are living by smuggling people out of china. In is in my option that Tie Co is a female that developed a great deal of feeling for Jack Fabian the smuggler.
