Brave Paper Son is a story about a young Chinese boy who travels to America in the 1930's. The boy embarks on a long boat journey, leaving China behind, and arriving at Angel Island, the immigration station in San Francisco, California. As a young child he is interrogated with intense scrutiny from immigration officers. When the child is released, he learns to navigate his new life in America. Paper Sons & Daughters are a part of American history rooted from the Chinese Exclusion Act 1882. This practice continued until the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1943. Paper Sons & Daughters played a significant role in the history of Chinese immigration and their stories are an important part of American history. The voice of the story is told by the daughter honoring her father's journey to America. Brave Paper Son is based on a true story.
