One of the author's ancestors originated from China and was sent with other Chinese people to Mexico, where they were told to go to Puebla. However, several Mexicans were then sent to force some of the Chinese, including the author's ancestor, across a harsh desert from Sonora to Mexicali, as the authorities did not want all the Chinese immigrants to remain in Mexico.

As it turns out, one of my ancestors actually originated from china
and he/she was sent along with several other Chinese people to Mexico. Once they arrived they set out to Puebla because thats where they were originally sent. Once they arrived there a few of them had migrated there and started a family which is what my ancestor did. However several other Mexicans were sent to go across a harsh desert because whoever was in charge of Mexico or that specific land didnt want all these Chinese people here so they sent them across Sonora to Mexicali.
