[00:00.00]Yip Sang, born in Canton

[00:03.04] in 1845, left China

[00:06.76]at the age of nineteen to

[00:08.51]seek his fortune in America.

[00:11.69]After arriving in San Francisco

[00:14.42]in 1864, he earned a living

[00:18.14]by working first as a dishwasher,

[00:20.87]then as a cook, and finally

[00:23.72]as a cigar roller.

[00:26.13]From the outset, he perceived

[00:28.86]that if he was patient

[00:30.61] and could represent the best

[00:32.25] of his race, his merits

[00:34.44]would be recognized.

[00:36.63]Possibly the attraction of

[00:39.03]high wages rumored 1 to

[00:40.57]be offered by Canadian

[00:42.10]railroad companies roused

[00:43.96]Yip Sang to leave San Francisco.

[00:47.68]He arrived in Vancouver in 1881

[00:51.19] and worked on the western portion

[00:54.46]of the Canadian Pacific Railroad

[00:56.76]from 1882 until 1884,

[01:01.90]first as a bookkeeper,

[01:03.54]then as a timekeeper,

[01:05.08]and finally as a paymaster,

[01:06.61]before being promoted to

[01:09.34]Chinese superintendent 2

[01:11.09]for the supply company.

[01:13.83]This promotion 3 made him responsible

[01:16.89] for hiring on contract and

[01:19.63]transporting thousands of men

[01:21.49]from China to work

[01:23.56]on the railway line

[01:24.77] in British Columbia.

[01:26.52]He supervised some six

[01:29.15]to seven thousand Chinese workers

[01:31.77]during the peak of the construction.

[01:34.62]In 1885, he returned to China

[01:39.10] using the money he had saved

[01:41.29] from his CPR job.

[01:44.24]He remained there from 1885 until 1888,

[01:48.07]while there he married

[01:50.91] four different wives, a regular occurrence

[01:53.76] at that time for wealthy young men.

[01:56.50] He and his first wife, Lee Shee,

[02:00.22] had a  son and a daughter.

[02:03.06] Lee Shee became gravely ill

[02:06.23]after their marriage and

[02:08.09] urged Yip Sang to take

[02:10.72]another wife, one who would be

[02:13.23] able to take good

[02:14.55]care of their children.

[02:16.30]Wong Shee, Yip Sang’s second wife,

[02:19.58]was very young with

[02:21.44]“sensitive” eyes, but did not

[02:24.06]meet with the approval of Lee Shee.

[02:26.14]She insisted he should

[02:29.10]marry a third time, and

[02:31.07]this time choose someone

[02:32.60]more suitable to care

[02:34.57]for the children.

[02:35.99]Dong Shee, wife number three,

[02:38.94]was more mature and

[02:40.69]had the capacity to supervise

[02:42.99]the household and the children.

[02:45.84]Dong Shee convinced Yip Sang

[02:49.78]to take a fourth wife, Chin Shee,

[02:53.17]whose primary role was

[02:55.36] to be Dong Shee’s companion.

[02:57.33]With his four wives,

[03:00.61]Yip Sang had 23 children,

[03:02.69]one of whom became

[03:05.43]the first Chinese Canadian doctor

[03:07.50] to be recognized in Canada.

[03:09.80]In 1888, Yip San returned to

[03:14.61] Canada with three wives—

[03:16.36]Lee Shee died before they left
