Pun Chi
« Thread Started on Nov 4, 2003, 9:33pm »		[Quote]
Pun Chi was a young Chinese merchant who wrote a piece that appealed to the Congress. It was telling the Congress that it was first that the whites want us the Chinese to come to California to help them mine and now they are making the Chinese leaving. The businessmen were eager to get cheap labor for manufacturing, mining, and agricultural industries. So the Chinese immigrants came to California but when the population of the Chinese immigrants in California grew, the California started to hate the Chinese and wanted them to leave. So the California legislature and the courts took rights away from the Chinese so that it will make the Chinese want to leave. This relates to our big question because the Chinese immigrants were being discriminated when there was too many of them in California. Tey weren't being treated as bad because they can help the business men earn more money because of their lower wages.

Pun Chi was a young Chinese merchant who wrote a piece about how Chinese people were thought as thieves and enemies. In the piece he was talking about how Chinese people were treated really badly just because of the looks and what did they did. Pun Chi wrote this piece to Congress. In the piece it also told about how miners were treated, and why did they work for so little even if it was hard. This is related to the Big Question because this tells how someone wrote to the congress and struggled against oppression.
