Dear Editor, When I immigrated to New Zealand in January 1937, I would estimate that there were less than 2,000 Chinese in the country. Moreover, as there were no Chinese-language media then, all the words and deeds of that time were recorded orally.
一九三七年元月我便移民到紐西蘭，那時在紐西蘭的華人，估計還不足二千之數，而在這裡的一切言和行的經歷，因沒有中文媒體的傳播，全由口述留傳下來。
