Chung Nye of New Westminster, B.C : a Canadian story from the perspective of Chinese pioneers living in B.C. during the 1880s to 1920s Chiang, Rudy M.T.; 蔣, 汶德

Abstract

Chung Nye left his home village at age 16 for the Gold Mountains. Canadian Immigration record indicates that he first landed in Victoria B.C. in April 1882. His career as a Chinese Contractor in the salmon canning industry and as a proprietor of Sun Kum Wo in New Westminster personifies the contributions made by Chinese pioneers of his time. A chapter on the Chinese pioneers, and their many contributions to the economy of British Columbia, remains missing from the history books of Canada.
