There is not a day that goes by that the subject of immigration is not in some way part of our national discussion. However, even with all the talk, there is little focus on either the large number of immigrants that arrive from China, or on the their immigrant experience.
We think very little about what it must be like leaving one's country, friends, family and culture behind, to begin anew as a stranger in a strange land.
Perhaps if we all understood the commitment, the bravery, the strength it takes to do that, we would be having a very different conversation about immigration.
That experience is the world that Lauren Hilgers gives up a window into in Patriot Number One: American Dreams in Chinatown
