New immigrants write the stories of the old immigrants: "Drifting and Settling: The Chinese Opened Up Arizona, the U.S." The e-book describes the vicissitudes of Chinese immigrants

The book "Drifting and Settling: The Chinese Opened Up Arizona, the U.S." was recently published as an e-book on lulu.com for the first time.

This book contains a total of fourteen articles by the author Yang Li that have been published in Taiwan's "Biography Literature" and "History Monthly", Guizhou's "Literature and History World", the United States' "World Journal" and other publications. The new book brings together these articles to help readers fully understand the contribution made by the Chinese to the development of Arizona in the United States.

The Chinese immigrated to the United States in the early days and were legislatively excluded by the U.S. federal and local governments. They were often threatened with violence in their environment, but they endured the humiliation, persevered, and survived tenaciously. From drifting to settlement, from seeking the most basic survival to achieving remarkable achievements in American society today, this book tells the story of Chinese immigrants pioneering Arizona.

Yang Li has been conducting research on Chinese history in Arizona, especially in Tucson, since 1998. He has published nearly 20 articles in Chinese and English, one of which in English won the 2011 "Best of the Year Award" in the Journal of the Arizona Historical Society. In August this year, he was selected into the "AZ Speaks Road Scholars" program sponsored by the Arizona Humanities Association and will be invited to give a speech on the history of Chinese Americans in Arizona.

> Yang Li graduated from the Chinese Department of Nankai University and received a PhD in East Asian Studies from the University of Arizona in 2004. He has taught at the University of Arizona, Pima Community College and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. In addition to teaching and historical research, he also translated and serialized books such as "Gu Weijun and Modern China" and "Farewell to Yan'an - Memoirs of the Chinese-British Noble Lady Li Xiaoli" in Taiwan's "Biography and Literature".
