During the late 1800s and early 1900s, many immigrants from Asia faced significant challenges, including discrimination and exclusionary laws in their host countries, particularly in the United States. They often endured harsh working conditions, particularly in labor-intensive industries such as railroads and agriculture, while struggling to assimilate into societies that viewed them with suspicion.
