Reproduction of roles
The fortress walls in Chinatown can bring a sense of protection…but not from everything. Jook ends up emulating Frank Yuen, who, a young who grew up in work camps, was taught by his father, slaved beside him, and his fellow labourers...natives, Hindus, and runaway city men of all sorts, depression-broke and desperate…
He ends up absorbing the environment he is surrounded by. The building of his identity is clearly influenced by the fact that he spent his life within Chinatown, even tough Chinatown in Vancouver, but still Chinatown….let’s keep in mind the existence of those bachelor-men who were separated by a big ocean from their families. Many of them found new meanings for their lives in gambling and drinking, running away from their painful destinies.
