An early Chinese worker's settlement in Arrow Town, New Zealand, called the Gold Rush, was in the middle of the last century when a European found gold by the Arrow River, and a large number of gold miners poured in to build the town by the Arrow River, and four years later Chinese laborers continued. Come here to join the gold rush and establish independent settlements, which is now the Chinese settlements we see, most of the Chinese workers were alone, adhering to the spirit of Chinese people not afraid of suffering, not afraid of tiredness, and adhering to their nationalities, naturally forming a self-sufficiency. By the 1870s, there were about 5,000 Chinese workers living in the Otago area in southern New Zealand. I thought New Zealand was a natural landscape country looking at the scenery. I didn’t expect that under such a beautiful environment, there was such a pity. The historical remains can't help but feel a lot
