Although the Chinese brought cheap labour to America as coolies, they were often discriminated against. resulting in racist stereotypes like that of Fu Manchu. Many whites thought that they would lower the American standard of living. The Chinese men that came over were not allowed to bring their families to America; and if they left America, they were not allowed to come back. Also, up till 1965, Chinese were not allowed to marry whites, resulting in the Chinese men dying alone in a foreign land.

The novel delves into themes of identity, cultural assimilation, and prejudice. Additionally, through the protagonist's interactions with historical events like the San Francisco earthquake and the Chinese Exclusion Act, I gained insights into American history during that time period.
