Richard Jeong JEW
1937 from Zhongshan, China
Twelve-year-old Richard Jew came as a paper son. He stayed in the hospital on Angel Island for three weeks because doctors determined he was ill. He remembers, “we hardly ever saw meat for our meals except hot dogs.” His interrogations lasted four days. After four months, he left for Firebaugh, California, where Richard became a farmer.
