趙CHEW赵 FAMILY EXHIBITION
One Chinese American family’s journey to make America their home using Chinese Medicine, Operating General Stores, and creating Chinese American fusion restaurants their loving story is inspiring in every way and touches the hearts of all cultures. Join us in the exploration of one family’s journey as Chinese American pioneers from the 19th Century through the 20th Century. Learn how each generation combined ancient Confucius values and Christianity, a metaphysical concept of yin yang, qi.
The exhibition demonstrates each generation’s hurdles to assimilate to a new country while retaining their rich heritage through historical artifacts, pioneering the restaurant industry, to becoming the first Chinese American notable figure in aquaculture. This exhibition is created to explore how similar we are as people across different cultures who immigrated to America and how our each of our individual histories are linked.
Today, aspects of the Chinese American history tells us how the experience affected each nationality similarly. The Chinese Exclusion Act had a ripple effect on all nationalities such as immigration laws and practices in America. With its perceived evolution, is the Chinese Exclusion Act experience now better understood? What underlies its historical shame on a family? Could policies like this reemerged in America?
