shrine for stories

As much as I Iove to further enjoy the impeccable storytelling, the story is complete. The chinese exclusion act is going to come into existence anyway so no matter how hard Chinatown fights against it, it doesn't matter.The California Workers Party is birthed, so that's history already written. It's just tragic Ah Sahm defeated Leary with his fist, but inadvertently made Leary realizes that he can defeat the chinese only through politics, policies & the law.

Everyone around Ah Sahm is now problematic. Penny is in an asylum - the fitting end to an industralialist no matter well-meaning her character is. Whatever Sophie do now is of no effect. Young Jun now sees Ah Sahm as a threat. Their relationship will never be the same again.

The more articulate & the people person Hong is tong advisor now. Mai Ling is hell-bent on destroying her own brother. Her last act of goodwill was when he was in jail, thinking he would return to Fushan. Her policy changed when he stayed. This two could go back & forth forever.

But, if Buckley/Zing/Li Yong goes jon snow on Mai Ling, Ah sahm will fight for her life ad infinitum. Mai Ling can see his brother dead because she's all vengence but Ah Sahm never could do that to her because she's his l'll sister & they both know that. The bitter end is set.

Ah Toy & Nellie's story is one and complete. Bill and Lee's stories are complete too. Zing will come back, cause chaos and the exclusion act is the final nail in the proverbial chinatown coffin.

Chao will go on with his roundabout business to no consequence on the inevitable exclusion act. Father Jun's story is complete.

Most importantly, Ah Sahm's story is complete. He's been fresh off the boat, tong hatchetman, a coolie, tong advisor, vigilante & finally, the hero of his people. His end, for any continuation will be painful.
