The History of Toisan and US Immigration | The China History Podcast | Ep. 194

In this episode, Laszlo looks at U.S. Immigration during the bad old days of Chinese Exclusion. The subject will be examined through the telling of the stories of three rather plain and non-extraordinary brothers from Haiyang Village in Toi San (pronounced more like "Hoi-San"). In Mandarin it's pronounced Táishān 台山. These three Moy brothers were featured in Scott Seligman’s 2013 book “Three Tough Chinamen” (Earnshaw Books). In addition to the Chinese Exclusion laws, Laszlo briefly introduces the life of another Toisanese, Ng Poon Chew. And at no extra price, Laszlo also gives the history of the Taishan region a nice neat overview. ------------------------------------------------------------- To support the CHP and Teacup Media Join our Patreon:   / teacupmedia   Donate at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/China...
