\"Entry<\/a>

Entry to Dunedin’s Chinese Scholar’s Garden<\/p><\/div>\n

When I posted my first road trip photos on Friday, Paul (Weimer) commented on how much he loves the Chinese Scholar’s Garden tradition — so here, if only just for Paul \ud83d\ude09 , are a\u00a0 few more photos from the Dunedin garden that was established to commemorate the contribution of Chinese immigrants to the history of the province, both during the Gold Rush period and through to the present day.<\/p>\n

\"007a\"<\/a>Much the same could be said about the whole of New Zealand and it has been good to see the Chinese strand of our history increasingly recognised in mainstream literature over recent years.<\/p>\n

\"Falling<\/a>

Falling water over rocks brought all the way from China.<\/p><\/div>\n

In my Waitangi Day post I mentioned:<\/p>\n

Alison Wong\u2019s historical novel As<\/em> The Earth Turns Silver<\/em><\/strong> (Penguin, 2009)<\/p>\n

Chris Tse\u2019s How To Be Dead<\/em> In A Year Of Snakes<\/em><\/strong> (Auckland University Press, 2014)<\/p>\n

\"016a\"<\/a>In previous year’s I have mentioned Kelly Ana Moray\u2019s Bloom<\/strong><\/em> (Penguin, 2003), which explores the intertwined stories of Maori, Chinese, and European characters.<\/p>\n

\"024a\"<\/a>Other recent publications include Maxine Alterio’s Ribbons of Grace<\/em><\/strong> (Penguin 2007), set in Arrowtown during the heyday of the 1860s gold rush era.<\/p>\n
