In fact, the Chinese had business relations with Hawaii prior to relations with
8、the mainland when Hawaii was not yet part of the United States. But United States investments controlled the capital of Hawaii at that time. In 1788, a ship sailed from Guangzhou to Hawaii. Most of the crewmen were Chinese. They were considered the pioneers of Hawaii. The Immigration Commission repo
9、rted that the first Chinese arrived in the United States in 1820, eight in 1830 and seven hundred and eighty in 1850. The Chinese population gradually increased and reached 64,199 in 1870. BFor many years it was common in the United States to associate Chinese Americans with restaurants and laundrie
10、s. People did not realize that the Chinese had been driven into these occupations by the prejudice and discrimination that faced them in this country. CThe first Chinese to reach the mainland United States came during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Like most of the other people there, they had co
11、me to search for gold. In that largely unoccupied land, the men staked a claim for themselves by placing markers in the ground. However, either because the Chinese were so different from the others or because they worked so patiently that they sometimes succeeded in turning a seemingly worthless min
12、ing claim into a profitable one, they became the scapegoats of their envious competitors. They were harassed in many ways. Often they were prevented from working their claims; some localities even passed regulations forbidding them to own claims. DThe Chinese therefore started to seek out other ways
13、 of earning a living. Some of them began to do the laundry for the white miners; others set up small restaurants.(There were almost no women in California in those days, and the Chinese filled a real need by doing this “womans work“.)Some went to work as farmhands or as fishermen. EIn the early 1860
14、s many more Chinese arrived in California. This time the men were imported as work crews to construct the first transcontinental railroad. They were sorely needed because the work was so strenuous and dangerous, and it was carried on in such a remote part of the country that the railroad company cou
15、ld not find other laborers for the job. As in the case of their predecessors, these Chinese were almost all males; and like them, too, they encountered a great deal of prejudice. FThe hostility grew especially strong after the railroad project was complete, and the imported laborers returned to Cali
16、fornia thousands of them, all out of work. Because there were so many more of them this time, these Chinese drew even more attention than the earlier group did. They were so very different in every respect: in their physical appearance, including a long “pigtail“ at the back of their otherwise shave
17、d heads; in the strange, non-Western clothes they wore; in their speech(few had learned English since they planned to go back to China); and in their religion. They were contemptuously called “heathen Chinese“ because there were many sacred images in their houses of worship. GWhen times were hard, t
18、hey were blamed for working for lower wages and taking jobs away from white men, who were in many cases recent immigrants themselves. Anti-Chinese riots broke out in several cities, culminating in arson and bloodshed. Chinese were barred from using the courts and also from becoming American citizens
19、. Californians began to demand that no more Chinese be permitted to enter their state. Finally, in 1882, they persuaded Congress to pass the Chinese Exclusion Act, which stopped the immigration of Chinese laborers. Many Chinese returned to their homeland, and their numbers declined sharply in the ea
20、rly part of this century. HHowever, during the World War n, when China was an ally of the United States, the Exclusion laws were ended; a small number of Chinese were allowed to immigrate each year, and Chinese could become American citizens. In 1965, in a general revision of our immigration laws, m
21、any more Chinese were permitted to settle here, as discrimination against Asian immigration was abolished. IFrom the start, the Chinese had lived apart in their own separate neighborhoods, which came to be known as “Chinatowns“. In each of them the residents organized an unofficial government to mak
22、e rules for the community and to settle disputes. Unable to find jobs on the outside, many went into business for themselves primarily to serve their own neighborhood. As for laundries and restaurants, some of them soon spread to other parts of the city, since such services continued to be in demand
23、 among non-Chinese, too. To this day, certain Chinatowns, especially those of San Francisco and New York, are busy, thriving communities, which have become great attractions for tourists and for those who enjoy Chinese food. JMost of todays Chinese Americans are the descendants of some of the early
24、miners and railroad workers. Those immigrants had come from the vicinity of Canton in Southeast China, where they had been uneducated farm laborers. The same kind of young men, from the same area and from similar humble origins, migrated to Hawaii in those days. There they fared far better, mainly b
