图书描述

When gold rush fever gripped the globe in 1849, thousands of Chinese immigrants came through San Francisco seeking fortune. In The Poker Bride, Christopher Corbett uses a little-known Idaho legend as a lens into this Chinese experience. Before 1849, the Chinese in the United States were little more than curiosities. But as word spread of the discovery of gold, they soon became a regular sight in the American West. In San Francisco, a labyrinthine Chinatown arose where Chinese smuggled into the country were deposited. Polly, a young Chinese concubine, accompanied her owner to a mining camp in the highlands of Idaho. After he lost her in a poker game, Polly found her way with her new owner to an isolated ranch on the banks of the Salmon River. As the gold rush receded, it took with it the Chinese miners, but left behind Polly, who would make headlines when she emerged from the Idaho hills nearly half a century later to visit a modern city and tell her story. The Poker Bride>o? vividly reconstructs a lost period of history when the first Chinese sojourners flooded into the country and left only glimmering traces of their presence scattered across the American West.

十九世纪末被卖到旧金山的中国女子,又被当作扑克游戏的赌注输给了一个美国人,然后被带到了西部深山里生活了一辈子。本书并没有讲这个poker bride 的故事,只是以她为引子,讲述了淘金热背景下中国人纷纷奔赴加利福利亚淘金,与此同时很多中国少女被卖到加州当妓女。无法掌握自己的命运,异国他乡求生自然是各种辛酸艰辛。时代的悲剧,一声叹息。文字比较枯燥,读到一半弃读。
