This event will be interesting!  I know many of the authors included in this anthology.  Hayne Wai is my cousin - That's our grandmother in the picture with my father and his mother, and our Auntie Rose, Uncle James and Uncle Gilbert.

Dan Seto is a dragon boater on the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team.  Dan joined the team after we met at a CCHSBC event last year.
Shirley Chan and her brother Larry are family friends.  Shirley's mother did a lot of community work in Chinatown and was recently featured in an episode of Mother Tongue. 

The Chinese Canadian Historical Society of BC presents the formal book launch of the groundbreaking collecting for capturing the diversity of British Columbia and Canada's past. This eight-story collection features touching and memorable family stories. The Canadian Chinese Historical Society of BC proudly presents the first collection of eight stories demonstrating the power of finding common history in the lives and deaths of those who came before us. Created during a six-week community writing workshop, this touching and evocative book is a must-read for all Canadians who want to understand the central place of Chinese-Canadians in our shared past.

Authors: Shirley Chan, Belinda Hung, Roy Mah, Dan Seto, Hayne Wai, Candace Yip, Gail Yip and Ken Yip.

Editor: Brandy Liên Worrall

Proceeds from the sales of this collection will go towards the Edgar Wickberg Scholarship for Chinese Canadian History.
