So here’s the family cemetery out in Colma. That stone marks the location of Henry and Alice Sues’ final resting place. They earned their place here as this cemetery is for all those who came from our village in China, most of whom braved a dangerous and uncertain passage to the Golden Mountain. To think [...]

Here’s some memories from Helen Owyoung… We went to Chinese School after American School every day. It was the usual routine for all the Chinese children growing up in Chinatown.

Apparently, houses are supposed to be willed to the eldest boy, so this should be Ed Sue’s house now, then pass to his son Jon Jon thereafter… sorry Wendi and Lucas. But may be it’ll be a good place for him to find a nice strong, child-bearing, Chinese [...]
