**Xinhua News Agency, Toronto, May 17 (Reporter Yu Ruidong)** – On the occasion of Canada’s Asian Heritage Month in May, a travelling exhibition titled “Enduring Hardship: Chinese Canadian History” was officially unveiled in Toronto on May 17. The exhibition aims to record and display the history of the Chinese Canadian community, showcasing the struggle and development of the Chinese community in Canada from early exclusion to modern inclusivity.
Organized by the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of Canada, the exhibition is supported by the Canadian federal government, the Ontario government, and the City of Toronto. It presents to the public the early life and working conditions of Chinese immigrants in Canada through a wealth of photos, documents, and physical exhibits, as well as their contributions in various fields such as society, culture, and politics.
Mr. Li, the chair of the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of Canada, told Xinhua News Agency that the exhibition is not only to commemorate the history of the Canadian Asian community but also to deepen the public’s understanding and respect for a multicultural society. He said, “This is an opportunity to educate the public about the contributions of the Chinese community in Canada and the difficult journey we have共同 gone through.”
Toronto Mayor John Tory stated at the opening that the Chinese community is an important part of Toronto’s multicultural society, and the success of Canada is inseparable from the contributions of Chinese Canadians. He emphasized that through such historical exhibitions, understanding and friendship between people of different cultural backgrounds can be deepened.
The exhibition site attracted many citizens and scholars, who expressed admiration for the resilience and contributions of the Chinese community in Canadian history. Ms. Zhang, a citizen, said that she gained a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Chinese community through the exhibition, which made her prouder to live in multicultural Canada.
The “Enduring Hardship: Chinese Canadian History” exhibition will be on display in Toronto for a month and will then travel to other cities in Canada. It is not only a historical review of the Canadian Asian community but also a profound reflection of Canada’s multiculturalism and national integration.
