THE GOLD MOUNTAIN TRAVELER
One man's journey for gold; a nation's struggle for souls.
Bak-Ming Quan went to America to find his fortune; he returned to China to find his people.
In 1881, fourteen-year-old Bak-Ming left the flooded rice fields of Hoiping with a single goal to travel to Gold Mountain in order to save his family from ruin. Driven by desperation and the looming shadow of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, he survived the suffocating stink holes of the passenger ship and the grueling labor of the American South.
One man's journey for gold; a nation's struggle for souls.
Bak-Ming Quan went to America to find his fortune; he returned to China to find his people.
In 1881, fourteen-year-old Bak-Ming left the flooded rice fields of Hoiping with a single goal to travel to Gold Mountain in order to save his family from ruin. Driven by desperation and the looming shadow of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, he survived the suffocating stink holes of the passenger ship and the grueling labor of the American South.
But in the humid air of Mississippi, Bak-Ming found something far more volatile than gold. Through the tragedies of his lost friends and the unexpected grace of strangers, the weary laborer was transformed into a man of God.
Returning to China, Bak-Ming must face a brother who disowns him, a village that mocks him, and the literal fires of persecution. From the opulent parlors of San Francisco to the blood-stained soil of the 1911 Revolution, The Gold Mountain Traveler is an epic true-to-life saga of faith, the enduring bond of family, and the bridge built by one man between two worlds. This book follows the extraordinary life of Bible Quan as he navigates the fall of an Empire, the rise of a Republic, and the enduring power of faith.
