READING: The Fifth Chinese Daughter by Jade Snow Wong

A. Background

First published in 1945, the story portrays the struggles and achievements of a young lady. These
memoirs of the author's first twenty-four years are imaginative, culturally creative, and highly entertaining.
They convey strikingly honest details of a young woman and her unique family in San Francisco's Chinatown
living as immigrants in America. It is rooted in Chinese literary form, reflecting indifference for the
individual, yet typically American.

Jade Snow Wong as a child, was limited by family and factory life and raised to respect and obey her elders
while taking responsibility of her siblings and observing strict social conduct. As a schoolgirl, she was
entangled between her own culture and the strange one of her classmates and friends. She slowly found
identity in college and triumphed over odds when she received recognition from her own family. .

B. Excerpt

Uncle Kwok
Among the workers in Daddy’s factory, Uncle Kwok was one of the strangest, a large-framed, awkward, unshaven
man whose worn clothes hung on him as if they did not belong to him. Each afternoon around three-thirty, as some
of the workers were about to go home to prepare their early-dinners, Uncle Kwok slowly and deliberately ambled
in through the Wong front door dragging his feet heavily, and gripping in one hand the small black satchel from
which he was never separated. He goes to his sewing machine, hung his coat and hat and slowly sits down and
does some sewing works.

The next thing Uncle Kwok always did was to put on his own special apron, homemade from double thickness
with heavy burlap and fastened at the waist by strong denim ties. This long apron covered his thin, patched trousers
and protected him from dirt and draft. After a half of an hour had been consumed, Uncle Kwok was ready to wash
his hands. He sauntered into the Wong kitchen, stationed himself at the one sink which served both family and
factory and with characteristics meticulousness, now proceeded to clean his hands and fingernails. After he has
fastidiously inspected all of his works and feels satisfied with it, he, with the same manner, put his coat and hat
back on and walks back home.
