“Next year marks the 150th anniversary of when large numbers of Chinese started working on the transcontinental railroad in the United States. Very little is known about these workers lives and what happened to them after the construction ended. Stanford University is working on a project to piece together the lives of the Chinese railroad workers by reaching out to their descendants.”
“将近150年前，大批华人开始在横贯美国大陆的铁路上工作，使得美国成为一个现代国家工作。不过，人们对这些华工的境况和命运知之甚少。美国斯坦福大学正在开发一个项目，通过联络华工后裔，从他们那里了解、拼凑起美国铁路华工的生活。”
