San Francisco Bay Region Division Records, 1944-1947, Hoover Institution Archives Asia Foundation records, Hoover Institution Archives Zhang Shuqi papers, Hoover Institution Archives Iris Chang papers, Hoover Institution Archives Biographical Note Named after George Pardee, the governor of California, Pardee Lowe (1904-1996) was born in San Francisco, California, to Lowe Fat Yuen (also known as Low Fat Yuen; pinyin: Liu Fa Yuan) and Miss Ho (Yip) Lowe (boxes 328, 448, 450). Following the 1906 earthquake and fire, Lowe's family relocated to Oakland, California. While Mrs. Lowe operated a store in West Oakland, Lowe Fat Yuen remained active in business and civic affairs in San Francisco, as a merchant with Sun Loy Co. and vice president of the San Francisco Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Pardee Lowe became active in the Oakland High School ROTC unit, the YMCA, and church activities of the Union Street Presbyterian Church (box 322). Throughout his life Lowe continued to be extremely active in social, professional, alumni, and fraternal organizations and associations. Lowe received a BA from Stanford University in 1930, and an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1932. While on a 1931 study trip in Germany, Lowe married his first wife, Louisa Hope Bailey (box 328), and in 1936 their child, Pardee Lowe, Jr. (Pardee Joe Yee Lowe) was born in Oakland, California (box 353). Pardee Lowe worked at various projects throughout the 1930s. Of longest duration was Lowe's serving as a research assistant for Stanford economics professor Richard T. LaPiere, from 1932 to 1935 (box 328). Lowe conducted work in San Francisco Chinatown for LaPiere and served as a technical advisor for LaPiere's two sociological-historical novels, Son of Han (1937) and When the Living Strive (1941). At LaPiere's recommendation, Lowe became involved in two projects for the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR). Lowe received funding to conduct a "secret" study of the people of San Francisco Chinatown (box 328, 329, 445). Due to disagreement over scope, methodology, and timetable of completion, the IPR concluded funding for the project in late 1936 (box 449). Lowe worked in support of IPR conferences in Yosemite (1936) and Virginia Beach (1939), and continued collecting materials for his projected Middletown Study of San Francisco Chinatown. He had associations with the Social Service Inventory of the Pardee Lowe 98055 2 papers Department of the State Emergency Relief Administration (SERA) for San Francisco's Chinese Division for a few months of 1934 (boxes 458, 328); and the Social Science Research Conference of the Pacific Coast, 1933-1934. During the Sino-Japanese war, Lowe was active in work to raise funds and increase support for aid to war-torn China, through organizations such as China Relief and Rice Bowl parties. He joined planning and implementation work for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition's Pacific House, before moving to New York to serve as a secretary for Wah Chang Trading Corporation president K. C. Li (box 436). In 1942 Lowe volunteered for military service, and served stateside, as well as overseas in the New Delhi headquarters of the China-Burma-India theater, and in Chongqing from 1943 to 1946, with some assignments to the Counterintelligence Corps (box 353). Following discharge from the military, Lowe returned to China, and under the U.S. Alien Property Administration served as manager of the China division of pharmaceutical manufacturer Schering Corporation, New Jersey and Shanghai, 1946-1947 (box 93). Correspondence also identifies Lowe as sales manager for China United Products Co., Shanghai in 1946-1947 (box 457). From 1947 to 1949, Lowe worked in the U.S. Embassy in Nanking, administering the beginnings of the United States Educational Foundation in China (USEF China). In January 1948 Lowe and Louisa Hope Bailey divorced, and Lowe married Anita Ting, born in Peiping, China, 1919 (boxes 353, 450). In 1960 their child, Patricia Pardee Lowe, was born (box 322). Lowe maintained a strong interest in creative writing throughout the 1930s and 1940s, publishing articles in periodicals such as Asia, Missionary Review of the World, and various association newsletters. In 1943, Brown, Little and Co., publisher of LaPiere's socio-historical novels, added to their series a collection of Lowe's autobiographical articles, with names of individuals and places altered for publication. A best-seller that year, Lowe's Father and Glorious Descendant also was issued in an edition by the U.S. Armed Services (box 359). Lowe continued writing throughout his time in the military and in subsequent posts in China. Lowe remained in Shanghai until the U.S. ordered withdrawal in 1949. Returning to the San Francisco Bay Area, Lowe entered the University of California, Berkeley, for PhD studies with the Institute for Slavic Studies from 1949 to 1956 (box 195). Lowe also joined the U.S. Air Force Reserves, becoming a major by 1952 (box 450). In 1964 he was assigned to the Retired Reserve (box 451). In 1955 Lowe joined the U.S. Information Agency (USIA), serving as intelligence research officer, and later as China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong desk officer until 1959 (box 195, 340). From 1959 to 1965 Lowe served as cultural attaché in the U.S. Embassy, Taipei, Taiwan (box 195). His Chinese name was Liu Yu Chang (box 43). From 1965 until his retirement in 1972/1973, Lowe served in the U.S. Department of State as education officer of the Multilateral Policy and Program Office assigned to monitor the UNESCO Education Program (box 187, 195, 448). After retiring, Lowe occasionally taught at Tatung Tech in Taiwan, and remained a committed advocate to the Free China cause. He continued to gather and organize materials related to Chinese Americans and to Chinatowns for a projected sequel to his 1943 book, telling the story of growing up Chinese American in relation to his late mother and stepmother, and continued his involvement with Christian charities.

  • Chinatown and Urban Redevelopment: a Spatial Narrative of Race, Identity, and Urban Politics 1950 – 2000
    CHINATOWN AND URBAN REDEVELOPMENT: A SPATIAL NARRATIVE OF RACE, IDENTITY, AND URBAN POLITICS 1950 – 2000 BY CHUO LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles, Chair Professor Dianne Harris Associate Professor Martin Manalansan Associate Professor Faranak Miraftab Abstract The dissertation explores the intricate relations between landscape, race/ethnicity, and urban economy and politics in American Chinatowns. It focuses on the landscape changes and spatial struggles in the Chinatowns under the forces of urban redevelopment after WWII. As the world has entered into a global era in the second half of the twentieth century, the conditions of Chinatown have significantly changed due to the explosion of information and the blurring of racial and cultural boundaries. One major change has been the new agenda of urban land planning which increasingly prioritizes the rationality of capital accumulation. The different stages of urban redevelopment have in common the deliberate efforts to manipulate the land uses and spatial representations of Chinatown as part of the socio-cultural strategies of urban development. A central thread linking the dissertation’s chapters is the attempt to examine the contingent and often contradictory production and reproduction of socio-spatial forms in Chinatowns when the world is increasingly structured around the dynamics of economic and technological changes with the new forms of global and local activities. Late capitalism has dramatically altered city forms such that a new understanding of the role of ethnicity and race in the making of urban space is required.

  • S Chinese Heritage
    San Francisco’s Chinese Heritage Author’s Note: This article “San Francisco’s Chinese Heritage” is a stand alone article on my website. However, a parallel articleHistoric “ Chinatown San Francisco: The Cantonese Enclave” is a chapter in my new book/ebookNorthern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. The subject of San Francisco attractions also appears in my book/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebook in Chinese. Several of my books on California can be seen on myAmazon Author Page. By Lee Foster A visitor who happens to be in San Francisco for the February/March day of the Chinese New Year will witness an urban cacophony of unparalleled dimension. The Chinese, who are said to have invented fireworks, know how to raise the decibel level in the urban canyons. Meanwhile, the traditional Chinese Dragon snakes its way along the parade route to begin a new lunar calendar year. This San Francisco enclave is one of the largest Chinese communities outside of Asia. Each February, you can experience a spectrum of activities over a week of celebration. However, the night of the big parade offers the best public access to the phenomenon. Chinese New Years Events I remember vividly my impressions of the parade from past years. As dusk sets, downtown San Francisco erupts with fireworks. Thousands of people line the parade route, which may start at Market and Second streets. The pageant includes floats, towering Oriental deities, Miss Chinatown USA and her court.

  • San Francisco Chinatown Self Guided Tour
    Free Tours by Foot - San Francisco Chinatown Self Guided Walking Tour When stepping into San Francisco’s Chinatown, you step into a world of vibrant colors, sounds, sights, and smells that will immediately whisk you around the globe. While there are several distinct Chinese neighborhoods in San Francisco, the oldest and largest Chinatown lies in the heart of downtown. On this tour, you’ll visit sights with history dating back to the days of the early explorers, see unique and beautiful views of the city, and be immersed in a culture so intertwined in San Francisco’s history that you just can’t miss it! One of the largest concentrated Chinese populations outside of China, San Francisco’s Chinatown is the oldest in North America and the largest outside of mainland China. The earliest Chinese immigrants to the Bay Area came in the 1840s, just before the Gold Rush. Some of those early Chinese immigrants began referring to San Francisco as “Gold Mountain,” and, just as fortune seekers hurried west across the country to hunt gold, so too did Chinese immigrants come into the Bay seeking new lives. As one of the most accessible mainland North American ports, San Francisco’s Chinese population grew steadily to become what it is today. Now, as you walk through the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, you’ll feel as if you’d stepped off a plane and landed in Hong Kong. If it weren’t for the towering Transamerica Building to the east or views of Coit Tower farther north, you might forget that you’re in San Francisco at all.

  • The Protestant Missionaries As Bible Translators
    THE PROTESTANT MISSIONARIES AS BIBLE TRANSLATORS: MISSION AND RIVALRY IN CHINA, 1807-1839 by Clement Tsz Ming Tong A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Religious Studies) UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2016 © Clement Tsz Ming Tong, 2016 ABSTRACT The first generation of Protestant missionaries sent to the China mission, such as Robert Morrison and William Milne, were mostly translators, committing most of their time and energy to language studies, Scripture translation, writing grammar books and compiling dictionaries, as well as printing and distributing bibles and other Christian materials. With little instruction, limited resources, and formidable tasks ahead, these individuals worked under very challenging and at times dangerous conditions, always seeking financial support and recognition from their societies, their denominations and other patrons. These missionaries were much more than literary and linguistic academics – they operated as facilitators of the whole translational process, from research to distribution; they were mission agents in China, representing the interests and visions of their societies and patrons back home. Using rare Chinese Bible manuscripts, including one that has never been examined before, plus a large number of personal correspondence, journals and committee reports, this study seeks to understand the first generation of Protestant missionaries in their own mission settings, to examine the social fabrics within which they operated as “translators”, and to determine what factors and priorities dictated their translation decisions and mission strategies. Although Morrison is often credited with being the first translator of the New Testament into Chinese, the truth of the matter is far more complex.
