Something called the Chinese exclusion act was put forward which didn't make it possible for Chinese immigrants to immigrate from 1882-1892.
-
China was suffering from poverty, famine, high, taxes, and foriegn invasions, so my friend Bruce and I left China.
-
Bruce and I arrrived in America but he quickly caused conflict and got into a fight with an immigrant from Ireland. Bruce and I were seperated because he was taken by security.
-
I needed transportation to go places, but trains were too crowded so I bought a horse.
-
My name was very hard for people America too pronounce,so I had my named changed from Ming Ping to Jackie Lee.
-
Moved west because I needed to make more money for myself, there were more mining oppurtunities, and free land.
-
Us Chinese Workers had to do much more dangerous jobs and did it for very little pay.
-
Got a better mining job that paid more and was a very successful business.
-
A new worker showed up at the mines one day who looked familiar and then I realized it was my best friend who I got separated from when I got to America.
-
Bruce and I found a fortune of gold that would last us the rest of our lives, so we moved onto 160 acres of land and built a house that we would live in the rest of our lives.
