I'm glad this doc. about our Jamaican Chinese race is getting exposure. Our culture is rich & fascinating. Thanks sister Paula Madison!!!
As the world turns, i cant wait to see Africa leading the world.
I loved how she said Chinese and African Jamaican ... not Chinese and Jamaican. Thank you.
Thank you Paula! This is such a emotional story. I'm Hakka women living in France. Like your grand father, in the very early 1900 my grandfather left Guangdong province and settled down on a French oversea island. 罗 is a widespread family name in the Hakka community. In the past, Hakka people settled down in Taiwan, Southease Asia , Indian Ocean, Caribbean Islands, North and South America.
I am a Hakka. My grandfather was from a Hakka village in Guangdong province. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, many Hakka men left home going far away abroad to work as labors in the plantations. Hakka women worked in the field and take care of the children while their husbands were abroad. Most of the husbands never went back, but they did send money back to the family to fullfil their responsibility as husbands. They married the locals and settled down. The Hakka women stayed single never remarried and raised the children all by themself dutifully. That was the life of my grandmother and many Hakka women at that time.
@@peterhill2008 My grandfather came to Reunion island with his first wife and son. Actually he was one of these few cases, mostly people came alone without wife.
It's good to know what truly happen with the Chinese in Jamaica and how they got here.all of this makes me wonder abt my family and if my grandfather was apart of it.
Can you post the documentary: Finding Samuel Lowe: From Harlem to China
About the Chinese old tradition of feet-binding, you're partially correct in that it was a sign of wealth. But Hakka was not the only Han tribes that didn't bind their women's feet. Many rural Han women also didn't bind their feet, as they were expected to work the fields, bounded feet would obviously hinder their movement and work. Also, many other minorities women never bound their feet.
Interesting
She does look Hakka.
