During Bahadur researches her great-grandmother\u2019s history, I was surprised that many Asian women had been exploited for a longtime age. What I learned about Bahadur\u2019s research is there was no record that explain what women think and express what they express their emotion at that time. The limits of the archive are she can only know what the happening is going at that moment through the record in office; records are silent. In order to treat these limits, she had no choice but to rely on her own journey. If I were to construct an archive of my family history, I would ask my parents first because I think it is a right way to know about my ancestors. And then I would meet my relatives to interview what they say about them.<\/p>\n
The person who I watched was Connie Young Yu who is a Chinese American. She was born in Los Angeles, California. Her father was in Overseas for World War II<\/strong> in China, he was a liaison officer. In 1974, her father moved her and her sister to San Francisco and he came back from the War. She went to public school in San Francisco and graduated at Mills College in Oakland major in English. And then she got married with Dr. Hu Ping and they have three children. She always knows about the railroad because her parents are very active about the Chinese Historical Society. Her father told her that his childhood and old railroad workers. Her father said there were many Chinese who were killed on the railroad. He said that the Chinese suffered really sad and terrible. She wanted to be a writer, a novelist-fiction, Chinese-America. In order to research about the history of Chinese, she went to Stanford graduate library and she saw the quote \u201cI\u2019d like to make a toast to the forgotten and neglected contingent of builders of the railroad the Chinese.\u201d This quote made her life to write nonfiction. And then she stared to write the story of the Chinese-America. I wondered if I could say that the pain, or discrimination, suffered by the Chinese in the days of her father, great-grandfather, had been completely eliminated today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During Bahadur researches her great-grandmother\u2019s history, I was surprised that many Asian women had been exploited for a longtime age.
