About this film

Recommended: Educational Media Reviews Online “Wherever there is seawater, there are Chinese.” The Chinese have a long history of emigration, some for business, some for making a living, some for political reasons. Today, most Chinese who have emigrated from China live in Southeast Asia. Chinese emigration in this area peaked from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth-century. Their decision to stay in a foreign land and their heart-wrenching stories are closely linked to Chinese history. Titles Include: 1. Tragic History Of Chinese Laborers 2. Success Of The Chinese Businessman 3. Patriotism 4. Assimilation And Inclusion 5. Feelings Of Homeland
