FONG Hong May (Helen Fong)
1925 from Guangdong, China
Hong May came to America as a twenty-two-year-old paper daughter and bride-to-be. She was confined on Angel Island for three weeks and left after two intense interrogation sessions. Hong May became the third wife of forty-two-year-old herbalist Fong Wan of Oakland. They divorced twenty-nine years later.
