ARTIST AMY AND JEAN PFAELZER TO TALK ABOUT THE RACIST PAST.

ALSO HOW MUCH OF TIME HAS REALLY CHANGED.

VANDALS WHO DEFILED A COMMUNITY GARDEN LEAVE HATEFUL MESSAGES AND GOT CAUGHT ON CAMERA.

COMING UP ON HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

>> FROM THE TOP OF THE HUMBOLDT HILL.

I'M JAMES FAULK.

THIS IS HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

IF YOU'VE BEEN PAYING YOU'VE NOTICED THAT THE CITY OF YAIRK TO RECOGNIZE ITS RACIST PAST AND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ADDRESS THAT HISTORY BY HONORING THOSE ABUSED AND RESTORING SOME WHICH WAS OF WHAT WAS LOST.

FULL RESTORATION IS IMPOSSIBLE.

THOSE VICTIMIZED ARE LONG DEAD.

THAT HASN'T STOPPED CITY LEADERS.

DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO RETURN A SACRED SITE TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER.

CONFRONTING A RESURGENCE OF RACISM AND HATRED.

LOCALLY DISCUSS NEXT WEEK A COMMUNITY GARDEN RUN BY CENT CENTRO D'S PUEBLO.

IT RAISES THE QUESTION THAT ALTHOUGH WE HAVE MADE SOME SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN ACKNOWLEDGING SOME OF OUR RACIST HISTORY.

BEFORE SAYING GOOD RIDDANCE AND THE CHINESE WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES HOW MUCH PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE.

ARE EACH OF US DOING ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR EQUALITY.

>> WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH JEAN PFAELZER AND AMY.

>> JEAN AND AMY THANK YOU FOR JOINING US IN THE STUDIO.

THANK YOU >> WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT A DREADFUL EPISODE IN EUREKA HISTORY, AND JEAN YOU'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN ONE OF YOUR BOOKS ABOUT THE BASIC HISTORY AND WHAT'S GOING ON NOW TO COMMEMORATE THOSE WHO SUFFERED.

DESCRIBE FOR US, JEAN, WHAT HAPPENED.

>> WHEN DID IT BEGIN?

WHEN DID THE RACISM THAT SEEPED ITS WAY INTO HUMBOLDT COUNTY BEGIN?

DID IT BEGIN WITH THE "GOLD RUSH"?

DID IT BEGIN WITH THE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD?

>> DID IT BEGIN WITH THE LYNCHINGS IN LOS ANGELES IN 1871 WHEN 19 CHINESE PEOPLE WERE LYNCHED IN ONE OF THE LARGEST MASS LYNCHINGS IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

DID IT BEGIN IN 1875 WHEN CONGRESS PASSED THE A PAGE ACT BANNING DAU BOUCHED PEOPLE.

BY THAT THEY MEANT CHINESE PEOPLE.

DID IT BEGIN IN 1982 WITH THE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT TO BAN A PEOPLE BY RACE.

IT SEEPED UP HERE.

AND IT SEEPED UP HERE AT JUST FOLLOWING THE GENOCIDE OF NATIVE-AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE EXPULSION OF NATIVE PEOPLE ON TO RESERVATIONS.

SO THERE WAS A TRADITION OF EXPULSION THAT THE CHINESE-AMERICAN PEOPLE GOT TRAPPED IN.

THE COUNTY GAVE ITSELF THE RIGHT TO PURGE PEOPLE.

AND SO THAT'S THE BACKGROUND OF WHAT HAPPENED IN 1885.

>> YEAH.

SO THE SUFFERING THAT HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF THAT WAS STARK AND VERY POTENTIAL KLEE DESCRIBED IN YOUR BOOK.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT THE SCENE IN OLD TOWN APPARENTLY A COUNCILMAN WAS INVOLVED.

>> YES.

IT WAS I BELIEVE ON LUNAR NEW YEAR'S IN EARLY FEBRUARY 1885.

IT WAS A COLD NIGHT.

AND SHOTS RANG OUT IN THE AREA OF ONCE WAS CHINA TOWN IN DOWNTOWN YAIRK.

IT WAS LUNAR NEW YEAR'S.

THE CHINESE HAD HEARD THAT GAMBLERS WERE GOING TO BE TO COME FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO GAMBLE AND AND MAKE TROUBLE.

THEY ASKED TURNED TO THE POLICE AND ASKED FOR PROTECTION.

THE SAME WAY OTHER PEOPLE IN THE TOWN TURNED TO THE POLICE FOR PROTECTION.

THERE WAS A MILLAY.

IN THE MELEE AND A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER WAS SHOT.

800 PEOPLE MAINLY MEN GATHERED IN CENTENNIAL HALL IRONICALLY CENTENNIAL BUILT TO HONOR THE CENTURY OF THE DECLARATION OF THE INDEPENDENT UNCONSCIOUS.

THE MEETING WAS CHAIRED BY A MAYOR.

THE FIRST MOTION WAS TO MURDER ALL OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE IN EUREKA.

THIS WAS A CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY.

THAT WENT TOO FAR AND IT WAS VOTED DOWN.

THE SECOND MOTION WAS TO BURN CHINA TOWN.

BUT THE CHINESE PEOPLE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO OWN THE PROPERTY THEY LIVED ON.

OF COURSE THE PEOPLE WHO OWNED THAT PROPERTY NIXED THAT MOTION.

THE THIRD MOTION WAS TO PURGE ALL OF THE CHINESE RESIDENTS OF EUREKA, ALL OF THEM AND GIVE THEM 24 HOURS TO GET OUT OF TOWN.

AND SO THAT NIGHT FEBRUARY 5TH, FEBRUARY 6TH, 1885.

A COMMITTEE WAS SENT FROM ARE THIS MASS ANGRY MEETING TO PURGE ALL OF THE CHINESE AND THEY HAD 24 HOURS TO PACK.

ALL NIGHT LONG ON THAT COLD HUMBOLDT NIGHT THE CHINESE PACKED WHAT THEY COULD.

OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T PACK THEIR FISHING BOATS.

THEY COULDN'T PACK THEIR FURNITURE.

WHAT THEY COULD CARRY.

MEANWHILE THE VIGILANTES WHO WERE WORKING ON RANCHES WORKING IN THE MILLS AND GATHERED THEM AND MARCHED THEM DOWN TO THE DOCK OF HUMBOLDT BAY AND THEY SPENT THE WEEKEND IN THESE COLD WAREHOUSES WAITING TO BOARD TWO SHIPS THAT WERE DUE TO SAIL AND WAITING ACTUALLY FOR THE TIDE IN COME IN ACROSS THE SHOALS.

ON THAT COLD SUNDAY NIGHT THE SHIPS FINALLY SAILED, AND THEY SAILED TO SINGLE FAMILY, AND THEY ARRIVE EARLY BEFORE THE CUSTOMS HOUSE.

THE IMMIGRATION CENTER WAS OPENED ON THAT MONDAY MORNING.

THAT'S THE STORY OF THE VIOLENT PURGE.

>> IT SOUNDS HORRIFIC AND ALMOST TOO GROW TAECHL GROTESQUE TO BE TRUE.

AMY I WANT YOU TO GET YOUR REACTION TO THAT STORY.

I'D LIKE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT.

YOU'RE A PART OF THE HAPPY.

AND WHAT'S THE YAIRK CHINA TOWN PROJECT.

OBVIOUSLY IT'S COMMEMORATING THE VIOLENCE BUT CELEBRATING THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE.

>> HAVING PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THERE WAS A CHINA TOWN HERE AS WELL AS IN MANY TOWNS ON THE WEST COAST THAT THAT WERE SOME WERE PURGED.

OTHERS HAD MORE VIOLENT MEANS OF REMOVAL.

TO RECOGNIZE THAT THESE WERE WORKING CITIZENS OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND EUREKA.

AND ALSO TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT WASN'T JUST THIS GROUP THAT WAS GONE AND THEN A NEW GOOP.

THERE WAS A PERIOD OF SCWI YEARS WHERE NO ASIANS WERE ALLOWED TO BECOME WORKING CITIZENS OF EUREKA, AND HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE GOALS OF THE EUREKA CHINA TOWN PROJECT HAS BECOME PART OF HUMBOLDT ASIANS AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS INSALL DARE TEE.

ONE OF THE MISSIONS OF OUR GROUP IS TO DISSEMINATE EDUCATION, AND KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY AS WELL AS TO CELEBRATE THE DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT MAKE UP THE DIFFERENT ASIAN AMERICANS HERE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

>> WHEN DID YOU MOVE TO HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

>> IN 1986.

SO I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS, AND THERE WEREN'T VERY MANY ASIANS WHEN I MOVED THERE.

THERE ARE MORE NOW BUT I LIVED IN THE MIDWEST SO THAT WASN'T ANY DIFFERENT FOR ME BEING A MINORITY.

BUT I THINK I WAS SURPRISED THAT THERE WEREN'T MORE BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY, AND I THINK IT'S A FISHING COMMUNITY TOO AND I CAN SEE THE PARALLELS WITH OTHER PLACES IN ASIA, IN JAPAN CERTAINLY.

I ALWAYS WANDERED WHY THERE WEREN'T ASIAN AMERICANS HERE.

>> HOW MUCH DID THE BROADER ASIAN COMMUNITY WERE THEY AWARE OF THIS HISTORY.

AFTER YOU ARRIVED AND STARTED TALKING TO PEOPLE.

>> YOU KNOW BECAUSE I HAD HEARD OF IT FROM A BOOK OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY HISTORY BY LINWOOD CRAUN CO.

THIS CHAPTER THAT WAS ABOUT THE EXPULSION, AND BUT A LOT OF THE PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW AND I GUESS I REALIZE THEY DIDN'T TELL OUR KIDS ABOUT IT.

NEITHER OF THEM KNEW ABOUT IT.

SO IT WASN'T ON -- IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS DISCUSSED VERY OFTEN.

>> YEAH.

JEAN WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KEEP THIS TEACH THIS TO KIDS COMING UP.

OR ANYBODY.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT WE KNOW THESE CRIMES OF OUR PAST.

>> I THINK RIGHT NOW THERE'S A HUGE DENIAL OF THE VIOLENCE OF RACE IN THE UNITED STATES AT THE SAME TIME THERE IS A SERIES OF RECKONINGS OF BUILDING MONUMENTS OF TEARING DOWN STEW CHURS WHO WERE BRUTALLY CRUEL TO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND NOW THE MONUMENT BEING BUILT TO RECOGNIZE THE CHINESE HISTORY THE ASIAN-AMERICAN HISTORY IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND ALSO THE RETURN OF A VAST HEALTHY THRIVING ASIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY OF ACTIVISTS OF CITY OFFICIALS THAT TEACHERS, OF CHILDREN.

SO THEY NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS COMMUNITY GAVE THEM TOOLS TO RESIST THE RACISM THAT MAY WELL OR DOES COME DOWN ON THEM.

>> THE SECOND I WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT MONUMENT.

THAT'S A BIG PART OF THIS DISCUSSION.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE DISCUSSED A LITTLE BIT BEFORE IT'S IMPORTANT NOT TO THINK OF THIS AS A BUNCH OF VICTIMS.

THE VICTIMIZATION OCCURRED BUT THERE WAS SUCH STRENGTH BY THEM AND TO CALL THEM MERELY VICTIMS TO DO AN ANOTHER INJUSTICE.

CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THAT.

>> YES, I THINK IT'S CRITICAL WE DON'T FEEL OURSELVES OR LOOK AT OTHER PEOPLE AS VICTIM.

THE MONDAY MORNING AFTER THE PURGE WHEN THE CHINESE PEOPLE ARRIVED AT THE DOCKS IN SAN FRANCISCO AFTER THIS COLD CRUEL DISORIENTING WEEKEND WHERE PEOPLE WERE THROWN ON TO THE TWO SHIPS NOT EVEN WITH THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS.

>> BUT THE VIOLENCE AND THE TRAUMA OF THAT WEEKEND I MEAN IT WOULD HAVE LEVELED PEOPLE EMOTIONALLY.

>> IT DIDN'T BECAUSE AT 3:00 THAT AFTERNOON ON THAT MONDAY AFTERNOON, THE CHINESE PEOPLE FROM EUREKA GATHERED IN CHINA TOWN IN SAN FRANCISCO, AND THEY INVITED THE MAYOR.

THEY INVITED THE PRESS.

THEY INVITED A VERY POWERFUL WHITE ATTORNEY WHO WAS ALLOWED TO TESTIFY IN COURT.

THEY WEREN'T AND SHALL DISTRICT ATTORNEY DASH AND THEY MAKE A HISTORIC ANNOUNCEMENT.

THEY SAY EUREKA WILL PAY FOR THE HARM DONE TO THEM.

THE CHINESE PEOPLE FILE WHAT I BELIEVE THE FIRST LAWSUIT FOR REPARATIONS PERHAPS IN THE UNITED STATES AND CERTAINLY IN CALIFORNIA.

WIND HINGE VERSUS THE CITY OF EUREKA.

ABOUT A 152 CHINESE PEOPLE SUE FOR DAMAGES, THE LOSS OF THEIR PROPERTY.

BUT MORE IMPORTANT IN SOME WAYS IS THEY SUE FOR BEING THE VICTIMS OF MOB VIOLENCE.

AND THAT SUIT FOR BEING THE VICTIM OF MOB VIOLENCE IS WHAT RAISES IT FROM A TORT ACTION A DEMAND FOR DAMAGES, TO REPARATIONS, A DEMAND FOR JUSTICE THAT REPAIRS.

AND EACH OF THEM -- THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS WE'RE LEARNING WHO THE INDIVIDUALS WERE.

EACH OF THEM DECLARES WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM, AND WHAT THEY LOST, AND WHAT THEY WANT IN RETURN FOR JUSTICE THAT REPAIRS.

TWO OF THE PEOPLE ON THAT LAWSUIT WHO WERE KIDNAPPED CHINESE PROSTITUTES.

AND THE COURAGE FOR THEM TO ENTER THIS LAWSUIT AS VULNERABLE WOMEN IS PHENOMENAL.

SO THEY SUE FOR REPARATIONS, JUSTICE THAT REPAIRS.

>> DO YOU KNOW THE OUTCOME OF THAT SUIT?

>> IT'S NOT PRIVY.

>> WE DO.

THE JUDGE THE LOCAL GENTLEMAN TOSSES THE LAWSUIT.

BECAUSE HE SAID THIS IS CONVOLUTED IRRATIONAL LAW REASONING.

THE JUDGE SAYS THAT BECAUSE THE CHINESE PEOPLE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO OWN PROPERTY THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING OF VALUE AND THE WAY THEY GOES TO PROVE IT HE LOOKS AT THE TAX ROLLS.

WELL THE STUFF THAT WE OWN, THE STUFF THAT YOU OWN DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE TAX ROLLS.

ONLY LAND SO HE DID IT INSANE ILLOGICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR TOSSING THE LAWSUIT.

BUT THE FACT THAT IT WAS FILED TERRIFIED OTHER TOWNS.

AND EITHER THEY STOPPED THEIR INTENT TO DO THE PURGES OR THEY WERE MUCH MORE PEACEFUL IN DOING THE PURGES BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THE LAWSUIT TO HAPPEN TO THEM.

IT'S A LITTLE SIDEBAR.

BY THEN THERE WAS A TELEGRAPH.

EVERYBODY ACROSS CALIFORNIA KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN EUREKA.

>> IT'S THE CHINESE PEOPLE PLANTED A FLAG THERE IS A CRIME THAT NEEDS TO BE MARKED IN HISTORY.

WHETHER IT WENT FORWARD WE NOW HAVE THAT RECORD TO GO BACK AND GO THROUGH.

THAT'S INVALUABLE.

SO OFTEN THOSE KINDS OF CRIMES ARE ANONYMOUS, AND SWEPT UNDER THE RUG WITH THE INTENTION OF MAKING EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT IT.

I THINK THAT'S A MASSIVE CONTRIBUTION.

FOR GETTING IT'S VERY, VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY PAINFUL.

I DIDN'T KNOW GROWING UP IN LOS ANGELES THAT THAT WAS THE FIRST MASS LYNCHING IN THE UNITED STATES OF CHINESE PEOPLE IN L.A. CHINA TOWN.

SO WITHOUT GROWING UP WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE, I HAD NO SENSE OF ITS HISTORY, OF THE COURAGE IT TOOK TO BRING THE PERSECUTORS OF THE LYNCHING AND MANY OF THEM WENT TO JAIL.

THEY WENT TO SAN QUENTIN.

WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

I THINK VOICES MATTER TELLING MATTERS, HISTORY MATTERS.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MONUMENT.

CAN YOU IF YOU COULD TAKE THAT SCHEMATIC WE HAVE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW THIS IDEA CAME ABOUT AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF THE SCHEMATIC.

>> THIS ORIGINALLY WAS GOING TO BE A PLAQUE.

>> IT GREW.

>> YES IN WHAT IS HISTORIC CHINA TOWN WHICH IS BETWEEN FOURTH AND FIFTH AND E AND F AND I THINK EVERYONE REALIZED THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

THAT DOESN'T SAY ENOUGH.

AND SO WE FORMED THIS COMMITTEE THAT HAS -- WE HAD SCHOLARS LIKE JEAN.

WE HAVE A LOT OF ASIAN-AMERICAN RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE, HISTORIANS, SCIENTISTS, EVERYONE.

AND FROM THIS COMMITTEE WHICH IS IT'S A HARD WAY TO COME UP WITH A DESIGN WE ACTUALLY DID.

>> IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

>> IT'S AN INTERACTIVE DESIGN THAT HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT COMPONENTS.

THE ONE OF THE COMPONENTS IT'S SORT OF A GRAPH BUT IT'S A TIMELINE SCISSION OF MARKERS AND EACH MARKER MARKS A MARK IN THE CHINESE PEOPLE FROM THE BEGINNING WHERE THE COMMUNITY WAS GROWING TO THE EXPULSION, FROM A NUMBER OF CLOSE TO 300 PEOPLE WHICH WERE 10% OF THE POPULATION OF EUREKA, TO VIRTUALLY NOTHING.

FOR 60 YEARS AND THERE WERE -- THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY BUT OFFICIALLY THERE WERE NO ASIAN-AMERICAN RESIDENTS HERE FOR THAT TIME.

SO THAT'S INCLUDED WITH THESE MARKERS.

THE WING HIN GMBLET IS OUR RESISTANCE.

EACH MARKER HAS AN ENGLISH NAME AND A CHINESE NAME.

>> IS THAT THE OLD MOUNTAIN CHINA TOWN.

>> SO THE RESISTANCE IS THE WING HINGE PART OF IT.

CHARLIE MOON WHO IS SUCH A PART OF THIS WHOLE STORY.

>> HE STAYED HERE.

>> HE STAYED HERE AND HIS FAMILY BECAME PART OF A LOT OF THE LOCAL NATIVE-AMERICAN GROUPS HERE.

>> AND THE NAME IS STILL HERE.

>> THERE'S AN ALLEY NOW NAMED AFTER HIM.

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE CHINA TOWN PROJECT HAS DONE.

>> IT ALSO FEATURES A POEM A BEAUTIFUL POEM.

BY DARRYL CHEN.

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ IT HERE.

IF PEOPLE WANT TO READ IT WHERE CAN THEY GO.

>> I THINK WE HAVE HOPPY DASH HUMBOLDT.

>> AND CLICK THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME UP.

THERE ARE OTHER EXAMPLES OF THINGS THAT THE EUREKA CHINA TOWN PROJECT HAS DONE INCLUDING THE MURAL BY DAVE KIM AND KATE B THAT IS RIGHT IN THAT AREA FOURTH AND FIFTH.

E AND F. >> YOU MENTIONED YOU DIDN'T TELL YOUR KIDS RIGHT AWAY ABOUT THE EXPULSION.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

SO.

CHISATO HUGHES IS OUR OLDIST A FILMMAKER.

WHILE THE COVID WAS CHIESA WAS A GRANL BUT STUDENT WORKING ON AN MFA AT UC SANTA CRUZ.

THEY BECAME PART OF THE ECP GROUP, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO FILM A LOT OF THE INITIAL MEETINGS WE HAD.

WE HAD A TOUR WITH THE EXTENDED MOON FAMILY.

WE HAD A TOUR WHEN WE ALL INITIALLY MET, AND WERE GUIDED AROUND CHINA TOWN BY BOTH JEANNE AND KATE BUSH.

KATIE BUSCH WHO USED TO BE THE DIRECTOR OF THE CLARK MUSEUM.

THIS IMPORTANT FOTAGE WAS THERE.

CHIESA INTERVIEWED A LOT OF THE LOCAL MONDAY FAMILY.

AND THEIR STORIES ARE INCLUDED IN THE DOCUMENTARY.

IT'S CALLED "MANY MOONS".

>> WE HAVE THE TRAILER HERE.

>> SO WHAT DID I THINK ABOUT HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

WHEN WE WERE GOING TO MOVE HERE MY MOTHER WHO LIVED IN THE BAY AREA SAID YOU BE CAREFUL UP THERE.

THINGS HAPPEN TO CHINESE PEOPLE.

WHAT I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THE CHINESE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY IS THAT AFTER THE EXPULSIONS THERE WERE CHINESE WHO DIDN'T LEAVE.

WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHO THEY ARE EXCEPT FOR CHARLIE MOON.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M NEVER GOING TO FIND THIS OUT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OTHER CHINESE THERE WERE THAT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT.

>> WHAT I FOUND ABOUT CHINESE EXPULSION LARGELY WE ONLY TELL THE PART OF IT WE WANT TO TELL.

[BELL RINGING] >> BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY WE GREW UP WITH THE CULTURE OF DON'T TELL.

I'M PRETTY DETERMINED SO I'LL FIND OUT MORE.

I MAY NOT FIND OUT EVERYTHING BUT I'LL FIND OUT MORE.

>> WELL, WHEN I GREW UP, WE HEARD WHAT THEY DID TO THE CHINESE AND A LOT OF THE PEOPLE USED TO POKE FUN AT US FOR RUNNING OUT OF TOWN IF YOU DON'T BEHAVE.

THEY PROBABLY IF YOU WERE CHINESE YOU WOULDN'T BE TALKING CHINESE.

HEY THEY LEFT THIS ONE BEHIND.

[LAUGHING] >> OVER THE YEARS PEOPLE COME AND ASK ABOUT THEIR THE STORY AND I GUESS THAT THAT'S NOT HIM.

THAT'S JUST A CHINESE MAN.

WHAT THEY USED I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT MAN IS.

>> WELL, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR JOINING US.
