[Vancouver's Chinatown: Past, Present, and Future] Yoshizawa, Alejandro; Yip, Jennifer

Description

Vancouver's Chinatown: Past, Present, and Future uses the stories of Chinatown's buildings to chronicle the evolution of this important Vancouver community. The film follows Chinatown's history from its humble beginnings as a place and community for labouring Chinese men to the days that Chinese Canadians - like Yip Sang, H. Y. Louie, Ron Bick Lee, Mary Lee Chan - groups like the Chinese Student Soccer Team and associations like the Yue Shan Society strengthened the community and helped to extend it beyond Chinatown. However, today's Chinatown is losing its vitality and is becoming more neglected and the future of its existence is unknown.
