During the Chinese Exclusion Act, immigrants could be detained at Angel Island for months to a year or more, and some died, some by suicide; some also wrote poems on the walls. This one elegizes another detainee (from Island: Poetry and History of Chinese Immigrants on Angel Island, Lai/Lim/Yung)
![We mourn you. When will they wrap your
corpse for return?
You cannot close your eyes.
Whom are you depending on to voice your
complaints?
If you had foresight, you should have regretted
coming here.
Now you will be forever sad and forever
resentful.
Thinking of the village, one can only futilely face the Terrace for Gazing Homeward.
Before you could fulfill your ambition, you were buried beneath clay and earth.
I know that even death could not destroy your
ambition.
[Footnote: During the political turmoil in China at the end of the Western Jin dynasty (265-316 AD), two princesses fled to a distant region for safety and ended up marrying commoners in a village. They were often unhappy and longed for their old homes. Their fellow villagers then built a terrace which they could ascend to gaze in the direction of their home.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:u7x7lujm5mxy25eeepqgu3nk/bafkreifst3fvawed5w3drcfkkarehucbugqezq3m6xcxjiwwa36jbdmane@jpeg)

噩耗傳聞實可哀

千古念愁千古恨

未酬壯志埋壞土

Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.
