They've experienced a lot of violence and also met some friends, they were scared and missed their parents a lot. Soon, my grandparents escaped the residential school and the nuns had not found them since. No one knows where they went, but it seems like they flew to China and live a new life. The Chinese government found out that they escaped residential school in Canada, they decided to kick them out of China and they were sent back to Canada with a new family.]]> 2023-01-12 15:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/xinyayang2/ys3dqa4antoo9c0m/wish/2442449491 xinyayang2 https://padlet.com/xinyayang2/ys3dqa4antoo9c0m/wish/2442450461 By the time when Yang's grandparents were teens, they found jobs and worked for money. The racism was perpetuated by the Chinese Immigration Act and more than 100 other policies. They denied Chinese people the right to vote; practice law or medicine; hold public office; seek employment on public works; or own crown land, among other restrictions. Anna's grandparents' parents were dead after their sickness wasn't going well, so they had to take care of themselves and work hard for food and money. The Chinese community suffered low social standing, and the most devastating consequence of the Act was its impact on family life.]]> 2023-01-12 15:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/xinyayang2/ys3dqa4antoo9c0m/wish/2442450461 xinyayang2 https://padlet.com/xinyayang2/ys3dqa4antoo9c0m/wish/2442455520 Yang's family started when Anna's grandparents experienced when women couldn't vote and had to give up their jobs. When lifestyle changes, a lot of new products were invented, cars dropped, and more new industries developed because of car industries. Sports were accomplished by many Canadians during the time, and a lot of Olympic games happened. Jazz music was popular in the 1920s, Anna's grandparents loved Jazz music and they actually enjoyed them since then. More new movies came out and dances.]]> 2023-01-12 15:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/xinyayang2/ys3dqa4antoo9c0m/wish/2442455520 xinyayang2 https://padlet.com/xinyayang2/ys3dqa4antoo9c0m/wish/2442457509 Anna's grandpa was one of the Canadian troops in the Battle of Honking, luckily he survived the war. Nearly 2,000 unprepared Canadian troops fought bravely to defend the British colony against a Japanese invasion force. Anna's grandpa was being taken to prison for the war, he said "it was painful living in the dark with no lights and no freedom". ]]> 2023-01-12 15:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/xinyayang2/ys3dqa4antoo9c0m/wish/2442457509 xinyayang2 https://padlet.com/xinyayang2/ys3dqa4antoo9c0m/wish/2442460005 Anna's grandma was Korean and Japanese but her family moved to Canada in 1923.

The forcible expulsion and confinement of Japanese Canadians during WW2 is one of the most tragic events in Canadian history. Some 21,000 Japanese Canadians were taken from their homes on Canada’s West Coast, without any charge or due process. Internment was a wartime measure enacted under the War Measures Act in the name of national security. However, it drew from a long history of anti-Asian racism and discrimination. Anna's grandma experienced how Asian racism back in 1948.]]> 2023-01-12 15:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/xinyayang2/ys3dqa4antoo9c0m/wish/2442465754 xinyayang2 https://padlet.com/xinyayang2/ys3dqa4antoo9c0m/wish/2442467045 Anna's grandparents took a trip to Germany where the Holocaust was happening.
