Ah, we have a similar ancestral trajectory with great grandparents from the Toisan area (she uses "Taishan" as the most common pinyin but given it's a Sze Yup region I personally prefer the Cantonese romanization... someone in linguistics can yell at me, I suppose)

A lot of interesting parallels- I am less familiar with Chinese Canadian history but of course it runs in a similar direction (though their exclusion act was between 1923 and 1947, though that does coincide with tighter restrictions around the Asiatic Barred Zone in the US's 1924 immigration law).

Really digging the parallel of ancestral hungry ghosts with the ongoing climate disaster.
