The biggest Chinatown in the United States is in San Francisco. It has been the centre of Chinese social and coltural life since 1850 when it was established. The tourest China town has existed for about one hundred years and is actually a site that was "invented" and created by the tourists.
In the beginning,when the Chinese people came to America,they had no legal rights and lived in bad conditions. Since 1960 things have changed.Activists fought for rights and respect for their people and against poverty.San Francisco's Chinatown has become more prosperous over the last thirty-five years and has improved a lot.
This year,filmmaker Yan Lee,who was born in California's Chinatown,made a documentary film about the history of Chinatown. Since it came out people haven't stopped talking about it .
They realise that the Chinese hvae suffered for years without really complaining.
After read this things,do you have something to say?
