“5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Story of Love and immigration from China to the United States Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2024 This is a wonderful story of immigration and love. How a young man who dreams of going to the Untied States, makes his dream come true. Alan, (Suey Fong) not only brings his family to the United States, but both he and his wife, Sin, are able to bring their family, and sponsor many Chinese to come to the US. The Sixth Jade is so engaging that I did not want the story to end!

“5.0 out of 5 stars This is a book about love, family, and honor. It’s about the American Dream! This little jewel is a son’s precious gift to his father! Narrative nonfiction at its best, Gee travels through times and space from Canton China (now Guangdong) to Oakland, California, from WWII to the present. We first meet the young Suey Fong living with his mother, fatherless and poverty stricken. Suey Fong dreams of traveling to America. And the fulfillment of this dream is born out of deep determination and love for his new bride. This is a book about love, family and honor. It’s about the American Dream. Beautifully done!”

“5.0 out of 5 stars A story of a making of an American. Les Gee is a gifted writer, and his deep affection and admiration for his father is very apparent as one reads this book…a book I very much enjoyed. I also learned about the trials and tribulations of the Chinese immigrant during the early to mid- 20th century…something I knew very little about. The story of Les Gee’s father is really a story of the making of an American. Allan Gee immigrates to America and embraces its values and culture. Against all odds (poverty, education, language, prejudice) he becomes a success…and uses that success to make America a better place. As one of the prior reviews stated: “A great book at a needed time.” I couldn’t agree more.”
