Chatham-Kimlau Square

Drawing by artist Sammy Yuen of Chatham-Kimlau Square in New York City. Chatham-Kimlau Square is where my father first immigrated to America. He is from Canton, China and was separated from his mother in World War II at the tender age of six. He was able travel to Hong Kong where he grew up with his uncle. He eventually got on an ocean liner and sailed around the world. When the ship docked in New York City he got off and never got back on.
