In 1885, Wyoming broke out against Chinese massacre dozens of people dead , Chinatown ablaze , smoke lingering.
The Qing government dragged down by incompetence , overseas Chinese 19th century suffered discrimination, humiliation . But a closer look at historical data is not difficult to find that the massacre was instigated by the white man , but not an ordinary white Americans , but just far immigrant Spaniards .
Why?
15 years later, Dresser famous " Sister Carrie " was published , there are sections describe the plot is Chicago workers strike .
As a long tramp unemployed hero heard tram strike , tram drivers do not work , I thought , " I can not go make some money too ", so go driving, the result is pain bian workers , beaten , wages did not dare collar, fled home.
At that time the Chinese, they often play a similar role , that of the working class in the eyes of " scabs ."
California as an example of the Knights of Labor , which is the vanguard of anti-Chinese American history, the loudest , most vicious Hande . But in the final analysis , it is not a 3K party organizations such evil , but it was the industrialized countries around the world each corner of the workers' movement branch. Also, rake their ideas, regardless of race, discrimination, equal pay, child labor is not the right word but also the great bright dazzle .
Why?
Gein Chinese do not participate in the labor movement .
The working class is vulnerable, want to fight the capitalists , in addition to hold together , no other way. If we strike, you go to work , the whole movement is bound to make a dangerous thing , falling apart. At the time, the Chinese not only to participate in the strike , but also undermine the market - holding their meager wages can also be hard.
This is the other minorities absolutely intolerable .
In 1882, the United States introduced the only one in the history of race -specific bill - the Chinese Exclusion Act .
Paradox it is that that time is to support the U.S. Far East policy to contain China , Japan , the relationship to its Minister to Burlingame after leaving actually when the Qing government 's first envoy . Also, the first batch of public school students heavenly , to precisely the United States.
In fact, the Chinese Exclusion does not conform to the prevailing mainstream American elite ideology.
Bill was passed in the hands of President Arthur . This man is a friend of Lincoln , abolitionist movement grew up politicians, has consistently opposed racial discrimination , once said: " racial equality , especially immigrant freedom, open arms for any suffering people in the world , this is the United States founding spirit . "
Arthur has repeatedly rejected the Chinese Exclusion Act , passed last barely stand it . The reason supporters , he unable to refute : Chinese undermine democracy , never participate in elections , even gave them the vote, has also been bought by the foreman of small favors .
Two thousand years of absolute monarchy , exhausted people's patriotism. No country like the ancient Chinese as such high-profile publicity royalism . But no one country as it is generally ready to overthrow the monarchy .
" He can be replaced ," " kings rather a kind of peace " - in the presence of local units for the Chinese people , once they left their native county , will feel very strange. In fact, the Qin and Han dynasties, the central government is relying on a political rather than a strong emotional identification of the subjects grouped together , grass still shows the presence of one kind of fragmentation , with Sun Yat-sen 's words is " a mess ."
Such people may have a private morality , but rarely have morality . Either the minions and just so steady , or intolerable rise up to claim their rights within the framework of contracts and the rule of law is almost invisible citizenship .
A recent book called "The Immortal Chinese people," the Italian reporter interviews two local Chinese written .
The book shows the attitude of the Chinese community in Italy shift from the early years to the present vigilance hospitality disgust .
In their eyes, like the Chinese in addition to small strong vitality and endurance , the most prominent feature is a closed and mysterious. That never participated in public life , there is no sense of politics , no interest for local integration , just keep working, money , savings , day and night , tirelessly .
Why is it called "The Immortal Chinese people " ? Because the Italians almost no Chinese funeral , there are curious casually said " Chinese people never die ," he repeated the baseless assertion up .
The answer is simple: the Chinese to more than 60 years of age , the basic old-age home .
With the rest of my life she saved hard-earned money .
Does not have a national of the country do not want to have the right , nor a national of a country do not want to vacation , travel, enough to live comfortably .
Unless the meat eaters do not want to let them have .
