Yang Kai parked the car in the parking lot, he pointed to the bustling neighborhood and said: "A stone's throw across the street is the world-famous international financial center Wall Street, and then there is Broadway, the art center that Americans are proud of. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yang Kai was joking, he was more talkative.

"New York's earliest Chinatown was formed in 1890. In 1848, the first Chinese arrived in the United States on the sailing ship "Wandering Eagle", which was the first Chinese to immigrate to the United States.

By 1851, the number of Wuyi (Cantonese) who had migrated to the West Coast of the United States had reached 25,000, and the number increased year by year. These ancestors did jobs in mines, farms, cigar factories, and lumber mills that white Americans would not do.

In 1880, there was an economic crisis in the United States, and a large number of white Americans were unemployed, but in the economic crisis, Chinese people were able to find jobs, but because we Chinese people were willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, no matter what dirty work could be done, and white people were picky and selective, and there were more requirements.

However, this caused the local white people to be jealous, and they accused the Chinese of stealing their jobs for no reason. The locals began to hate the Chinese, and even passed the Chinese Exclusion Act in California, and the excluded and oppressed Chinese had no choice but to migrate to the east coast of the United States.

The first Chinese to enter New York settled in Mott Street and Burke Street in the southeast area of Lower Manhattan, with the increasing number of Chinese people here, the population gradually grew, and in 1890, Chinatown was formed here, and today, it is the largest Chinese neighborhood in the United States, and it complements San Francisco's Chinatown.

The rise and fall and prosperity of Chinatown have witnessed the century-old history of the entire Chinese people starting a business overseas and taking root, and witnessed the spirit of our Chinese people who are industrious, brave, self-reliant, united and indomitable. ”

Yang Kai took Hua Tianyu and Yunying to Chinatown, and while walking, he introduced to Hua Tianyu the difficult history of Chinese entrepreneurs overseas, and Hua Tianyu was very emotional.

It was also the first time he had come to the overseas Chinese community, where the neighborhood lived up to the reputation of Chinatown, with antique streets, many shops, and Chinese everywhere, and the occasional passing by people of different colors, but becoming an embellishment.

If you didn't know earlier that this is New York, the largest city in the United States, the world's financial center, you would have thought that you had gone to the wrong place and entered a certain city in China.

Hua Tianyu had to feel the greatness of the Chinese pioneers, and he silently paid tribute to his ancestors from the heart.

Yang Kai is very familiar with this place, he said: "Bypassing the block in front is the main rudder of the Sanlian Society here, and there is the 'Jingwu Pavilion' set up here by Hongmen, which is usually not crowded with people, but it is the center of the entire Chinese community.

The Situ family has a great influence, whether it is Chinese, local whites, underground social organizations in New York, or even the U.S. government, they will not be easily provoked. In the event of a dispute over the interests of many Chinese associations, the Triple Association mediated to avoid bloodshed.

In Chinatown, the American police are reluctant to come, this is the world of the Chinese, although they follow the laws of the United States, but in private, any disputes, the Chinese are in their own way to resolve, all these things, the Americans are also turning a blind eye, this is the Americans' 'democracy' and 'human rights', and you will understand when you stay here for a long time. ”

Yang Kai said as he took Hua Tianyu and Yun Ying to the 'Jingwu Pavilion'.

The door plaque of the Sanlian is the three big characters of 'Jingwu Pavilion', elegant and majestic, magnificent, no matter from which angle the Chinese characters look, all show a kind of national unyielding and mighty spirit.

The door of the martial arts hall is open, and on both sides of the door is written "welcome guests from all over the world, invite guests and friends from all over the world", and the horizontal batch is written "meet friends with martial arts" is written majesticly. There are people cleaning the yard, and there are people practicing their fists and feet.

Hua Tianyu stepped forward, and immediately someone greeted him and said, "This friend, dare to ask what is the matter with the 'Jingwu Pavilion'?"

The person who greeted us was not very old, about twenty years old, a young man, wearing a small coat and cloth shoes, and he was dressed in a typical style.

Hua Tianyu hurriedly said: "In Xia Hua Tianyu, I want to visit Mr. Situ, I don't know if you can introduce me to him!"

The young man glanced at Hua Tianyu up and down a few times, making sure that he had never seen him, and then said: "Mr. Hua, I'm really sorry, Mr. Situ is not here, you are unlucky." ”

Hua Tianyu hurriedly asked again: "Then I don't know when Mr. Situ will come back, I will come to visit again!"

The young man was a little impatient, but he still said politely: "Mr. Hua, Mr. Situ has gone to San Francisco, we really don't know when he will come back, otherwise, you leave a phone call, Mr. is back, I will call you!"

Hua Tianyu just wanted to say something more, when he saw an angry voice coming from the door: "What's the matter with you, why do you rush in." ”

The young man who received Hua Tianyu glanced over there and ran over. Hua Tianyu turned around and saw the young man helping one of his companions up, and three people came in at the door, and in the center was a black man with a burly figure like an iron tower, and his whole body was full of healthy muscles.

The other is a yellow man with a slightly short stature, but he is a tough person, his eyes are full of Limang, and he is a character who is not easy to provoke at first glance, but his eye sockets are sunken, it should not be of the Chinese race, Hua Tianyu guessed that this person should be of the Vietnamese race.

And the other person wearing a plaid suit and glasses is not from Huaxia, and it is this person who overthrows down and welcomes guests.

The young man was angry: "Who are you, how can you push people when you come in." With this reprimand, five or six young people immediately came out of the martial arts hall, and when they saw that they were all practitioners, they all surrounded him.

The man pushed his glasses upward, stared at the young man with disdain, and said in English: "You are not worthy to talk to me, ask Situ Zhaoran to come out." ”

The young man said angrily: "Mr. Situ's name is what you call out indiscriminately? Do you know what kind of place this is? ”

The man with glasses sneered: "Chinese community, who doesn't know, I'm going to mess around today, what can you do?"

Isn't Chinatown great? There are so many people? They all say that your Chinese martial arts are powerful, and you don't know how powerful you are to brag about it, and it is said that the 'Jingwu Gym' is the most powerful place for your Chinese martial arts, and I want to see how powerful you are today!"

The man with glasses shouted arrogantly, with a look of disdain.

The young man and the others all glared angrily, how could they have been so insulted and bold.

The young man was the first to be impatient, he roared angrily, "looking for death", stepped forward, pushed forward with both hands, and attacked the man with glasses.

As soon as the body of the sturdy man standing next to the man with glasses moved, he appeared in front of the man with glasses, and kicked the young man away as soon as he raised his legs!
