Few tourists walking through Chinatown, even long time Bay Area residents, have any idea they are walking through such history is this. What an amazing story. No doubt one of many. Excellent work.

Just watched “warrior” on Netflix and it made me come watch this. I highly recommend it. “Warrior” based on writings from Bruce Lee about the late 1860-1870s tong wars in San Fran ChinaTown

Having been through some of the Chinatown "chambers of commerce" I always wondered what was going on there originally. Many thanks for the info.

You have created an incredibly great channel. Very interesting episode here. It would be nice if the same people who brought us "Gangs of New York", would create a crime movie on the early Barbary Coast of San Francisco.

Anyone who has Chinese ancestry, especially from Guangdong Province, Fujian Province and Hong Kong will know how hard our predecessors strived to make our overseas Chinese communities so successful around the world today.

This is relevant to ethnic Chinese people around the world.

Your channel is awesome, man. Excellent production value and very informative!

Excellent. I'm a San Franciscan and I live 1 block from Chinatown's Dragon's Gate on Grant St. Some of those benevolent associations do not only exercise political power in Chinatown but throughout the entire city. There are really multiple Chinatowns here in the City of San Francisco: Old/Original Chinatown, The Sunset/Richmond District, and The Portola District/Visitation Valley.

Brother tell your story loud and clear for the world to hear. You have a great speaking voice, and your People's stories, particularly in San Francisco or New Spain, is I think one of the most fascinating American experiences.
