当你想象早期的美国华工，铁路工人往往会是第一个浮现在脑海里的形象。但你是否知道，在美西三文鱼罐头工业中，华工也扮演着极其重要的角色？他们在这一行业中有着近七十年的历史，人数之多、时间之长更是其他行业所罕见。

如果你想了解更多，3 月 25 日周六上午 10am - 12pm，华人特殊儿童之友（FCSN）的社区讲座将在湾区东元文化中心举行，演讲者是一对双胞胎兄弟：乔立 Jim Chiao 和乔成 Philip Chiao。他们将会带你穿越时空，领略华人在美西三文鱼罐头工业中的历史与辉煌。

这不仅仅是一次关于历史的演讲，更是一个感性与理性相结合的学习机会。你将听到乔立和乔成这两位退休华人工程师亲身经历的感人故事，了解 19 世纪末到 20 世纪初华人在三文鱼罐头行业的历史，华工如何涉足这个行业，他们从事哪些工作，以及华工和华人包商如何在罐头行业的这部分劳动力市场中占据主导地位。

在当时，每年的三文鱼季节有超过 5,000 名华工在俄勒冈州到阿拉斯加的太平洋沿岸的罐头厂工作，其中许多来自旧金山。这股势力的的成长和消落是一篇美国华人的奋斗史。

活动由华人特殊儿童之友 (FCSN) 组织，这是一家位于加利福尼亚州弗里蒙特的非营利组织，由10个美国华人家庭于1996年创立。FCSN的使命是帮助有特殊需要的儿童和成人，在湾区拥有1000多个家庭成员、200多名员工、和三个社区中心。访问网站www.fcsn1996.org了解更多。

让我们一起参加这场充满教育意义的活动。在当前针对亚裔仇恨的大环境下，当我们在探索华人历史的同时，也要思考一下如何找到归属感，展现我们的自豪和价值。

让我们共同努力，创造一个充满宽容和爱的社会！

When one thinks of early Chinese immigrants in America, railroad workers are often the first image that comes to mind. But did you know that Chinese workers also played an extremely important role in the Pacific Northwest salmon canning industry? They have a seventy-year history within this industry, with a large number of workers that is rare in other industries.

If you want to learn more, the Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN) will host a community lecture at the Dong Yin Cultural Center in the Bay Area. The date the event will be held is Saturday, March 25th from 10 am to 12 pm. The speakers will be a pair of twin brothers: Jim Chiao and Philip Chiao. They will take you on a journey through time and space, exploring the history of Chinese people working in the salmon canning industry.

This will not only be a lesson about history, but also a learning opportunity that combines emotion and reason. You will hear the touching stories of Jim and Philip, two retired Chinese engineers who have spent their lives within this industry. You will learn about how they entered the industry, what work they did, and how Chinese workers and merchants dominated this part of the labor market.

At that time, more than 5,000 Chinese workers worked in canneries along the Pacific coast from Oregon to Alaska during the annual salmon season, many of whom came from San Francisco. The rise and fall of this force is a history of struggle for Chinese Americans.

The Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN) is a non-profit organization based in Fremont, California, founded by ten Chinese American families in 1996. FCSN's mission is to help children and adults with special needs. It has over 1,000 family members, 200 employees, and three community centers in the Bay Area. Visit www.fcsn1996.org to learn more.

Let's participate in this educational event together. In the current climate of anti-Asian hate,we must also think about how to find a sense of belonging as we explore Chinese history, and showcase our pride.

Let's work together to create a society full of tolerance and love!
