It will be more appropriate if the authentic personal stories of the immigrants, primarily regarded as first-hand Chinese perspective of American life, could be included in the collection. This rarely-known history of Chinese immigrants in America will be more vivid if the audience can see the Chinese immigrants' direct response to the exclusion act and attitude to the challenges in their new life.
