Comments on The Saga of First Journey to U.S. 2022-04-20T22:45:13Z http://www.dontow.com/2013/03/the-saga-of-first-journey-to-u-s/feed/atom/ WordPress By: Qingyan Zhao Qingyan Zhao http://www.dontow.com/?p=2827#comment-1936227 2021-08-28T20:59:46Z 2021-08-28T20:59:46Z Thanks for this short documentary. Even though I knew the discrimination against Chinese immigrants in American history, it is still eye-opening for me to see your family experiences in such great details, it is almost dramatic. And I have to say you are a very talented writer — very simple, plain in language, but very focused, and full of emotion and imagination!! I enjoyed it!

My father’s father had an easier time when he arrived in 1912 in Taunton, Mass. My father arrived in 1913 at age 17 having completed high school in Russia. He passed the exam for entry into M.I.T. in Boston. In 1920 he graduated with a degree in Chemistry. But applying for work at DuPont and Dow Chemical he was denied employment because he was a Jew. He never had a chance to work in the field of chemistry.

Thanks as always. You do a great job.

Rich
