1886年Juneau把整个city的老钟都装上船运走了
就剩了个Chinese Joe(原名叫Chew Chung Thui
这个Chinese Joe先移民的加拿大又去的Idaho,到了Juneau当地的时候很热心参与社会活动
不把自己跟社会孤立
Juneau排华送华人进集中营的时候压根儿没人要让他走
整条街的人都拿着枪保护他
From every vantage point—doorways, windows, behind logs and stumps—riflemen appeared, each ready to lay down his life if necessary in defense of China Joe
跟这个没关系啊
你可以用什么语言文字,whatever
但是也要会用社会通用的语言文字跟其他人交流啊。
没人觉得用中文有什么毛病
甚至大家会觉得如果没人跟你说你更熟悉的那个语言可能会感到很孤独
Beattie said Joe must have felt lonely.
“Not a soul with him or near him capable of understanding the deep significance of it all. No one with whom he could speak his mother tongue,” Beattie said.
美国社会本来就是一个多元化社会
你甚至可以教大家讲中文,以后社区的人慢慢转化为中文社会,nothing wrong
