The Wing family worked and waited patiently through the years of the Chinese Exclusion Act, finally being recognized as "people" and citizens of Canada in 1947.Through decades of political and social prejudice, Eng Wing established his business and raised his children. His oldest son, Peter, became the first Chinese Mayor in North America. This is his story.
