Chinese Emigration, the Sunning Railway
and the Development of Toisan
by Lucie Cheng and Liu Yuzun
with Zheng Dehua (5 January 2005)
Overview
The following is a word for word transcription of an article of the same name, originally published in Amerasia 9(1): 59-74, 1982. However only three of the footnotes have been included as relevant to my purpose. If you wish to view the remainder, you will have to source the original article yourself.
The opinions and attitudes expressed are those of the original authors, and, in my opinion, need to be carefully discounted as they significantly colour the treatment of the topic.
Much original source material unused by these authors is to be found in the Bureau of Archives of Taishan County. The article, The Sunning Railway by Peter Crush of the Hong Kong Railway Society treats the topic as a railway enthusiast and is generously illustrated with historical photographs. While the article, History of Xinning Railway authorised by the Taishan City Government takes a more prolatarian approach and includes lots of historical photographs, a system map and a potted biography of the founder of the railway, Chen YiXi.
