Features: A series of books about Chinese people traveling around the world. Recommended by the top of the list of "Cox Review" in the United States. Traditionally, the Chinatowns in major cities around the world have given people an impression of being mysterious, conservative, and full of violence. Many Chinese and foreign films have revolved around this impression to create bloody scenes of gang feuds. What is the truth about Chinatowns? Generally, people find it difficult to know. Based on years of living in and investigating Chinatown in New York, the author depicts the isolated political culture, the mysterious inner workings of economic prosperity, the background and roots of gang conflicts, and the living conditions of legal and illegal Chinese immigrants, helping us dispel the fog that shrouds Chinatowns. This book was first published in the United States in 1987 and revised in 1996. It has been reprinted three times in the United States.
