This fascinating talk with Professor Zhiyue Bo provides a comprehensive overview of the long journey of the Chinese in New Zealand, from the arrival of the first Chinese in 1842 up to the present.The talk traces the changes in core cultural mindsets: from early gold rush visitors who longed to 'return to their roots' (Sojourners), to those who endured systemic discrimination (such as the poll tax) yet remained resilient, and ultimately to settlers who, after generations of hard work, chose to 'take root' and settle in this land. This talk is not only a history of Chinese immigration but also a story of the evolution of multicultural integration.
Location: Ngā Pou Ruahine (Level 2), Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui Central
