SUMMARY:Chinese Lives in Wyoming - An Overview of Immigrant Lives in Wyoming from 1868 to 1937
DESCRIPTION:Chinese immigrants from Toishan (Taishan) and elsewhere in Guangdong Province contributed much to the development of transportation\, merchandising\, and mining in southwestern Wyoming. Initially it was thought that these immigrants only worked on the railroad in 1869\, but it is becoming increasingly obvious that in that year men from southern China operated laundries and entered the coal industry. The lives and contributions of the men and women from southern China will be discussed as will their overcoming being forcibly removed from Almy coal mines on September 2nd 1885. Significantly\, Chinese grit and tenacity led them to persevere in reforming their communities after their removal from Almy and the attack on Chinatown in Rock Springs on the same day. These two tragic events cannot be overlooked\, but the ability of the immigrants to overcome the tragedy and form new communities in Wyoming that endured for decades will be a point of focus. \nDudley Gardner is Professor Emeritus at Western Wyoming Community College (WWCC) and Principal Investigator for the Western Archaeological and Anthropological Research Institute (WAARI) in Rock Springs\, Wyoming. He received his B.A. in English from Lee College\, his M.A. in history from Colorado State University\, and his Ph.D. in History from University of  New Mexico. Dudley has extensive archaeology experience working on various projects as Project Manager\, Crew Chief\, and Crew Member in Wyoming\, Tennessee\, New Mexico\, Montana\, Idaho\, Oregon\, California\, Utah\, Colorado\, Easter Island\, Tahiti\, Fiji\, New Zealand\, Southern China\, and Mongolia. He is currently working on the Yale University Tarvagatai Valley project in Mongolia and Burgastai Valley and is the Principal Investigator for projects in Wyoming\, Colorado\, New Zealand\, Fiji and Montana. Dudley has extensive teaching experience and has published numerous books\, government publications and articles. \nRegister

SUMMARY:2023 Ching Ming Cancelled
DESCRIPTION:Due to muddy conditions and the unavailability of crematorium\, we have decided to cancel this year’s event.\nCHSSC will host Ching Ming (Chinese Memorial Day) on Saturday\, April 1\, 2023\, 11:00am – 1:00pm.  \nCeremonies will take place at the historic Chinese Memorial Shrine at Evergreen Cemetery to pay our respects to those who have paved the way for us. \nThe Shrine stands at the center of what was once a 19th century Chinese cemetery. Built in 1888 by the people of Los Angeles’ Old Chinatown\, the Shrine is considered the earliest extant Chinese structure in Los Angeles. The site remains culturally and historically significant and has been designated Los Angeles Historic/Cultural Monument No. 486. It is owned and maintained by the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California. \n \nActivities at the historic 1888 Chinese shrine: cleaning the gravesites; placing flowers on the graves; ceremony by a Taoist priest. \nThere will be a short walk to crematorium site to visit the nearby memorial wall installed by the county and have light meal. \nVisit the gravesite of Donaldina Cameron and her family. \nEvergreen Cemetery is located at 204 N Evergreen Ave\, Los Angeles\, CA 90033. The Chinese Memorial Shrine is located at the east end of Evergreen Cemetery. Enter from Evergreen Ave. Parking is free on adjacent cemetery roads. This event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:From China to Chinatown: My Po Po’s Journey by Hailey Soh
DESCRIPTION:From China to Chinatown: My Po Po’s Journey is a documentary by Hailey Soh that tells the stories of people who immigrated to Los Angeles Chinatown. Hailey created this documentary in the hopes that a public audience might learn more about the history of Los Angeles Chinatown. As the immigrant population in Chinatown grows older\, she wanted to help preserve the histories of those who helped build Los Angeles into the city it is today. She realizes that there are many untold immigrant stories and her documentary is only a snippet of the bigger picture. \nHailey’s documentary follows her grandma\, her Po Po\, Koon Tai Lee Kung\, along her journey from Guangzhou\, China to Chinatown\, Los Angeles. It also includes interviews from her grandmother’s daughter Helena and neighbor Chui King Joe which tell of the community that Chinatown provided for Chinese Immigrants. \nBorn and raised in Pasadena\, California\, Hailey Soh is a junior attending Blair High School and lives with her parents and younger sister. Hailey is active member of the student body and is involved in various clubs such as serving on the Associated Student Body as Junior Treasurer\, National Honors Society\, Girls’ Tennis Team\, and she even started her own club – The Broadcasting Club which creates weekly videos to inform students about school-related events and activities. In her free time\, Hailey likes to listen to music and play instruments such as the piano and the guitar\, and she also enjoys watching her favorite K-dramas on Netflix. She wants to pursue a future where she can continuously learn new things and encounter new experiences.

SUMMARY:Secrets to Longevity by Dr. David Lowe
DESCRIPTION:In 2005 National Geographic released their findings of a search for the longest lived and healthiest people in the world.  They came up with 3 areas where longevity and health could be well documented.  They were called Blue Zones.  Later 2 more areas were added to this list.  Is there something in common with all of these areas?  What can we learn from these Blue Zones to help us live longer and healthier lives\, to not only add years to our life but add life to our years? \nDavid Lowe\, M.D. was born in Walla Walla\, Washington and grew up in Southern California.  He graduated from Loma Linda University School of Medicine in 1971 as a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha national honor medical society.  His internship was at the Harbor-UCLA Hospital in Torrance\, California\, and he completed his pediatrics residency at Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles.  He served 2 years in the United States Air Force as a pediatrician stationed at the Moody AFB in Valdosta\, Georgia.  Upon his return to Southern California\, he co-founded the Pleasant Valley Pediatric Medical Group in Camarillo\, CA.  He was soon involved in planning and directing community health programs through his church\, the Camarillo Seventh-day Adventist Church.  He and his wife Flo have led out in the Heartbeat program that identifies coronary artery disease risk factors\, health fairs\, the Full Plate Living weight loss program\, the Complete Health Improvement Program\, the Longevity Lifestyle Matters program and the Diabetes Undone program. They also co-produce the annual WHOLE Conference sponsored by the Camarillo SDA Church. \n

SUMMARY:Ripples in Time: How the Early Chinese American Experience Shaped the Greatest Generation
DESCRIPTION:Our January program will feature two-book author Dr. Russell Low\, who will explore the early roots of Chinese in America and show how the WWII generation was connected to this past in ways they may not have fully understood. It will be a 1-hour multimedia presentation celebrating Chinese American history\, diversity\, valor\, and patriotism. \nRussell Low is a California-born 4th generation Chinese American physician who is a great-grandson of Hung Lai Wah\, a Transcontinental Railroad worker\, and Tom Ying\, a rescued child slave. Russell’s passion for research\, family history\, and storytelling come together in recently published novels entitled “Three Coins” and “The All-American Crew.” \nIn exploring the Ripples of Three Coins\, Russell celebrates the heroism of the Chinese Americans in WWII from a very personal perspective. On January 23\, 1943\, a B-24 Liberator bomber and its crew of ten men disappeared without a trace in New Guinea. Their families never knew what happened to them. Now\, 80 years later\, their long-forgotten letters and dusty photographs finally tell their story in the new narrative nonfiction work The All-American Crew: A True Story of a World War II Bomber and the Men Who Flew It.
