SUMMARY:January 2024 Program
DESCRIPTION:Join us in ringing in the New Year as we reflect on the past\, celebrating the Chinese immigrant ancestors who paved the way for our American journey. In this continuation of “Three Coins\,” we delve into the tale of a young Chinese boy who\, armed with a blank journal\, a fortune teller’s scroll predicting his life’s path\, and an ardent desire to embrace American identity\, arrived in Oregon in 1877. \nDuring the 1880s in the Pacific Northwest\, Chinese communities faced expulsion from Tacoma\, Seattle\, Portland\, and Oregon City. However\, the story in the small town of Salem\, Oregon\, unfolded remarkably differently. In the midst of a social experiment\, figures like Hop Lee and George Sun\, alongside a handful of Chinese individuals\, crafted a unique narrative. \nLike our forebears\, these young Chinese immigrants confronted a world marked by exclusion through anti-Chinese laws and attitudes. Responding with resilience\, patience\, and humor\, they navigated these challenges\, forming friendships and achieving financial success. To realize his dream of putting down roots and starting a family\, Hop Lee must find the rarest of jewels—an American-born Chinese girl to form his own Willow Forest. \nWhile the Chinese eventually departed Salem by the 1930s\, the narrative of the Chinese and White communities in the city spanned four decades\, characterized by mutual respect and affection. This tale merits exploration\, particularly in light of today’s prevailing anti-Asian attitudes and rhetoric. \nThis book and presentation celebrate the immigrant spirit born from the diversity which is at the heart of our nation. \nCo-sponsored by: Chinese Historical Society of Southern California and The China Society of Southern California \nSpeaker Bio \nRussell Low is a physician with a passion for discovery and storytelling. His discoveries in the medical field have changed the way that his colleagues worldwide practice medicine and image disease. Discovery of his own roots began 30 years ago through the stories of his parents and their siblings. Growing up in Central California\, more American than Chinese\, his connection to Chinese culture and history was limited and incomplete. \nRussell frequently lectures on Chinese-American history\, and his family’s story has been featured on the History Channel\, National Public Radio\, the Voice of America\, and the Smithsonian Museum of American History.

SUMMARY:Paintings In Print
DESCRIPTION:Joint November program sponsored by China Society of Southern California and Chinese Historical Society of Southern California. The $40.00 price includes dinner and program.\nWe have added a no dinner option if you would like to attend the program but not have dinner. The program will start at 7:00 pm. If you choose this option\, please email info@chssc.org and include your name and the names of your guests. \n \n  \nJoin us for dinner at Golden Dragon Restaurant followed by a presentation by Michelle Bailey\, Assistant Curator at the Huntington Library. She will talk about the current exhibit in the Studio for Lodging the Mind in the Chinese Garden at the Huntington Library. \nIn the 16th century\, Chinese publishers began creating educational manuals filled with colorful prints of paintings and texts on the history and methods of brush arts. The manuals were unprecedented because they taught aspiring painters and collectors from the growing merchant class how to create and appreciate literati art—a combination of painting\, calligraphy\, and poetry long practiced by elite scholars. This exhibition at The Huntington\, which runs from October 7 to May 27\, explores the ways these manuals used innovative printing methods to introduce the techniques\, history\, and appreciation of painting to widening audiences in early modern China. \nDate and time: Monday\, November 6 @ 6:00 p.m. \nLocation: Golden Dragon Restaurant\, 960 N. Broadway\, Los Angeles Chinatown \nReserve your spot in advance by purchasing tickets by Friday\, November 3. \nThe $40.00 ticket price includes dinner and program. \nIf you are purchasing multiple tickets or you would like to be seated with someone coming to the event\, please email info@chssc.org the names of your guests or the names of the person(s) you would like to be seated with. We will do the best to accommodate your request. \nTickets are nonrefundable\, and if unused\, will be a donation to the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California.

SUMMARY:Podcast: Iron Horse Road: A Tale from Gold Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Premiers on Wednesday\, July 19th\, 2023 \n \nIron Horse Road recounts one of the great neglected epics of American history. 20\,000 Chinese laborers tunneled through granite mountains\, dangled over cliffs\, and dragged entire trains over alpine summits where other Americans feared to tread. The prosperity of the oncoming gilded age was founded on their blood\, sweat and grit\, but their story has long been minimized and forgotten. \nEqual parts history and travelogue\, Iron Horse Road uses binaural 3D audio to transport the listener to deep canyons\, echoing caverns and windswept peaks–a world where adventure is always around the corner\, and the past is carved in blood and stone. \nStay tuned for the Wednesday July 19th\, 2023 release on Apple Podcasts\, Spotify\, Google Podcasts\, Amazon Music\, Overcast\, RSS Feed. You can also listen here at https://blood-on-gold-mountain.captivate.fm/.
