Very cool history and love story. Thanks for sharing.

I did this in school and is just relooking back so I can answer questions!

Amazing 99 years old and still sharp

Aha

The only language I don’t hear is british English.

Five minutes in and still not on topic.

3:52 Why do they all look like SS officers?

My Russian grandfather, Nicolai Stepanoff, fled poverty and war during the 1917 Russian Revolution as a child with his family. His mom had to sell 3 of her 5 children because she could not afford to feed them. Some time later, my grandfather, went and found 2 of them and brought them back, but never found one who went deep into Siberia. My grandfather and his family rode the Trans-Siberian railway to Harbin, China, where they settled and lived for many years. He worked on the Trans-Siberian Railway which must have been very grueling work. At the age of 18, my grandfather immigrated to Angel Island, by way of paddlewheel ship. He taught himself English once he settled in San Francisco on Russian Hill. He worked as a gardener in Golden Gate Park and eventually saved enough money to bring the rest of his family here and buy a home in the Castro. He also owned some rental apartments and might have become quite wealthy, had he not had a gambling problem and lost some of his properties in bets. He managed to keep the family home and raised my mom and her two brothers there, after meeting my Grandmother. My Grandmother's story of how he proposed went something like this: The were sitting in his car and he pulled out a gun and said "Marry me or I'll shoot you." My mom thinks he was joking, but my Grandmother said he was serious. I think they loved each other though. He died from Huntington's disease in 1973 when I was just 18 months old. My mom told me I did visit him in the hospital, which I only have subconscious memories of. I am so grateful and in awe of his incredible courage, strength and struggles he endured to get here and raise a family in a land of freedom and opportunity! Thank you Pop!

7:57 Hits hard when you’re a Chinese Immigrant yourself and got asked this.

I found this channel due to a comment left on a tasting history's video. This was a wonderful brief overview presentation of our country's immigration system and the experience of those who experienced it. Cant wait for the next one ❤

Thanks for sharing, to remember our ancestors are very meaningful and important.

A great Artist and a beautiful human being.

I saw Tyrus once at the Chinese American Museum near the Plaza in Downtown Los Angeles, he was so energetic and positive. I already knew who he was from reading "On Gold Mountain" written by Lisa See. Great book.

I hope my neighbors burns in hell for cursing angel island those monsters

So talented and a great man

I looked up angel island looking for the sonic the hedgehog 3 level

Thx. A guide by an experience genealogist with detailed step by step instructions to secure old records that the government has on of a family member. Indispensable for the novice researcher.

The first immigration law passed was by George Washington and it was the naturalization act of 1790 and it’s literally says “free white men of good character” but keep pushing your liberal non sense. It goes against actual Americanism . America was never a nation of immigrants let alone from the 3rd world who are a burden, so called “people” like you are why America is turning into a 3rd world country

yoooooo fire vid

Congrats on a great year! Looking forward to 2022 ;)

Awesome video!

Such a great woman, Tye Leung Schulze.

I actually saw the little mini documentary, on PBS, of your grandmother and Googled her and read more about her, and got linked to this little film.

Your ancestors' stories are inspiring.

It was so nice to meet you this evening Doreen and to learn more about your experience growing up in China as well as your life in the US. You are a strong woman and an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for sharing your story and banana flowers with me!

Mr. Tyrus Wong (1919-2016) is the Creator of Bambi; He is an American + Disney Legend.

Calvin Ong. I remember my father mentioning his name many times. Did he own a restaurant and liquor store in Oakland, CA?

先生どうもありがとう

Did this facility also process Filipinos Japanese and Koreans in addition to the Chinese coming into the western United States? This is different what we have here in the Northeast Ellis Island. In Ellis Island it would processed Germans Russians Poles Italians serbians austrians and Hungarians (Austro-Hungarian empire) in the years 1910-1940.

Thank You Sensei!!!

Hi i am a Samra living in Canada my parents were also from Sidhwan Punjab my dad was a pioneer to England after the second world war. They raised me and my sisters in England and i remember my dad Rattan Samra telling me the hardships they faced leaving punjab. I loved seeing the video on youtube about Dalip Singh Samra.

Read about the triumphant odyssey of another paper son amidst WW2 from poverty to achieving and paying forward the American Dream. From Amazon Books www.amazon.com/One-Small-Pebble-Thousand-Ripples/dp/1986131475/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&=UT&q=1521512385&=1-1&keywords=ONE+SMALL+PEBBLE
