从1820年首批中国移民登上美国土地以来,中国移民在美国已经生活了近200年。早期的中国移民大多是为生活所迫到美国从事淘金、修铁路等艰苦的工作。他们在陌生的土地上扎根生存,也带去了自己的文化和习俗,形成了独特的“唐人街”、“中国城”等文化。200年来,中国移民的足迹遍及美国的东西海岸,甚至许多内陆地区。 Chinese immigrants have lived in the United States for nearly 200 years since the first batch of Chinese immigrants boarded the land in the United States in 1820. Most of the early Chinese immigrants forced their lives to the United States engaged in gold rush, railways and other hard work. They took root in the unfamiliar land and brought their own culture and customs to form a unique culture such as Chinatown and China Town. For 200 years, Chinese immigrants have traveled throughout the coast of the United States, even in many inland regions.
