Thank you so much. I’m so glad you’re here. I feel personally it was not so much a miracle, however it was yours and your mom’s access to energy (food), strength and determination. I related a lot, like to your chicken story.

My dad was a WW2 Chinese Canadian veteran who belonged to Force 136 S.O.E. and got a VLA loan/grant to buy a 5 acre chicken & market garden farm in Saanich on Pat Bay Hwy. 😇👀🚑🚓🚒🚢⛴️🛳️🍁🙏😀🇨🇦

I grew up on our family chicken and market garden farm on Pat Bay Hwy. in Saanich from grade 3. My dad was also a Chinese Canadian WW2 veteran from Force 136 S.O.E. and also got a VLA grant to help buy the 5 acre farm. We lived in a converted chicken house before we built a new house beside the highway. This video brings back many fond memories.❤️🐰🇨🇦💕😍🙈🙏🍁👀😇

Thank you so much for uploading this interview. My grandma sadly passed away this past month in July and this is a precious memory of her personality and family history. I loved it when she always got so excited and fell back to Taishanese when recounting a story, as captured here. With much gratitude.

I was just up in Alert Bay about 2 weeks ago & saw the old building & few other old buildings that former Chinese residents built there, many decades ago. I'm friends with a few folks in Namgis Nation there. I couldn't find out much about the former Japanese residents who were removed, put into internment camps & had everything they owned seized by government.
