Alberto Biasi’s 1970 abstract sculpture entitled “The Immigrants” sits atop the back wall of the parking lot between the two buildings. The sculpture celebrates men and women of all backgrounds courageous enough to leave their homes for a new land. The central figure with its arms raised symbolizes both gratitude for being in America and protest against violence and injustice encountered here. The figures on the left—a sailor, farmer, mason, miner and railroad worker—symbolize industrial progress. The figures on the right are metaphoric, representing sacrifice, struggle, education, marriage, and spiritual life.

Chang reads “Cooperate to Achieve” in Chinese characters. During opening ceremonies, California Governer Frank Merriam dedicated a bronze plaque commemorating the contributions the Chinese made to the building of the railroads.

Like its predecessor to the east, the West Plaza also features a gate and a wishing well. All of the buildings have upstairs living quarters. For many years, these apartments—combined with the block’s grocery stores, bookstores and newspaper offices—contributed to creating a greater neighborhood ambiance than the more tourist-oriented blocks to the east. The gentle sound of wind chimes and Cantonese conversations floated on the air. The scent of home-cooked meals drifted down from upstairs apartments, while the smell of incense wafted out of shops. In recent years, many of the old families and enterprises have moved on. In their place, several clothing designers and art galleries have opened, many of which have kept the original names on their storefronts. 11 You Chung Hong, the first Chinese- American to graduate from USC Law School and the first to pass the bar in California, worked tirelessly for Chinese-American civil rights. He testified before a U.S. Senate Committee on immigration issues and fought to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. He was also very involved in the Los Angeles Chinatown community, where he served as president of the local lodge of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance, provided legal advice, and invested in New Chinatown. The relocation of his office from Old Chinatown to this site represented the confluence of law, community spirit and wealth. You Chung Hong Office Building 12 Far East Plaza This plaza, built in 1978, is considered by many to be the first modern ethnic shopping mall in America. Originally planned as a space exclusively for food, the building is still home to the original Sam Woo (restaurant upstairs), take-out downstairs, featuring Chinese barbecue specialties, Pho 79 (a Vietnamese restaurant known for its beef noodle soup, rich coffee, and boba teas in a variety of flavors), and Mandarin Deli (great dumplings and noodle soups), all of which have gone on to create chain outlets in Southern California and beyond. Multilingual signs on restaurant windows beckon customers in English, Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, and many other languages.

Hours can be spent exploring the aisles. which are fragrant with herbs, incense, barrels of ginseng, and teas, and overflowing with porcelains, clothing, foodstuffs, and arts and crafts.

Established in 1890 to advocate political and

social advancement for the Chinese community, the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association’s fi rst home was near the old Plaza in the Gamier Building in the new Chinese American Museum. Since its inception, the CCBA—which represents an alliance of nearly 30 family and district associations—has mediated between individuals and organizations, fought against discriminatory laws, and served as a political voice for the Chinese-American community

Bamboo Plaza opened in 1989, with

a large variety of shops, eating establishments and the largest parking structure in busy Chinatown. Eschewing the traditional free-standing Chinese pailou, such as the one used at the entrance to

Chinatown’s Central Plaza, Bamboo Plaza’s developers asked artist Dora de Larios to create a stylized gate that could be incorporated into the overall architecture. The work employs highly abstracted Chinese motifs, including water, bamboo and mountains. On the second fl oor, the Empress Pavilion is the most popular of the large Hong Kong-style dim sum restaurants in Chinatown.

Fifty years ago on the sunny Saturday of June 25, 1938, California’s Governor Merriam and a host of dignitaries dedicated Los Angeles Chinatown’s Central Plaza in a gala Grand Opening ceremony. One of the Nation’s fi rst malls and certainly the fi rst modern American Chinatown, owned and planned from the ground up by Chinese, Central Plaza would provide a magnifi cent hub and lexus for growth into the famous colorful, vibrant Chinese American community we all know today.

Originally, New Chinatown consisted of many notable restaurants, shops, an herbal store, a grocery store, a bean cake factory, a Chinese deli and offi ces. In 1938, these long-time establishments were all moved from Los Angeles’ Old Chinatown, not quite a mile away.

By 1870, an identifi able “Chinatown” of 200 or so was situated on Calle de Los Negros - Street of the Dark Hued Ones – a short alley 50 feet wide and one block long between El Pueblo Plaza and Old Arcadia Street. Old Chinatown fl ourished, expanding eastward from the Plaza across Alameda Street and eventually attaining a population of over 3000.

The Chinese densely settled a major part of Old Chinatown on the Juan Apablasa grazing grounds and vineyards.

Old Chinatown in its heyday, 1890 to 1910, could count 15 or so streets and alleys, and perhaps 200 building units. Old Chinatown was a residential as well as commercial community. Old Chinatown, with restaurants, curio shops, and “strange” entertainments, even became an attraction for the early, pioneering breed of American tourist.

The climax of years of planning and hope took place on June 25, 1938. A full-page ad in Section I of the Los Angeles Examiner greeted the morning reader, inviting him to partake of “The Enchanting Charm of Old China in Los Angeles.”

New Chinatown was decorated with colorful lanterns and banners. The fl ags of the United States and the Republic of China were seen everywhere. These gala preparations were made by the youths of Chinatown, organized in a unique 1930’s Chinese American group - the Federation of Chinese Clubs in Los Angeles.

Ex-California Governor Frank F. Merriam noted that New Chinatown “represented a monument to those Chinese who played such an important role in building the West and a lasting evidence of American Chinese amity.” Gov. Merriam then dedicated a curved plaque mounted on a column of the pailou, which was “Dedicated to the Chinese Pioneers Who Participated in the Constructive History of California.”

Meanwhile, the public festival was in full swing. All stores

were open, and street booths were set up to attract even more customers. Some booths run by the youthful Federation were raising funds

for civilian relief in war-torn China. About thirty high school

and college

Chinese girls, in the traditional cheong-sam, served as guides to the visitors. A display of art by Chinese American artists was available to the public. Some of the artist exhibitors remain familiar: Tyrus Wong, Keye Luke, Gilbert Leong, Jade Fon, George Chinn. Tyrus Wong, in particular, would later leave his creative mark in New Chinatown with outdoor and indoor murals which can be seen to this day.

The festivities moved toward a fi tting climax in the evening. Traffi c at the street intersections had, by now, been jammed for hours. Anywhere from 25,000 to 100,0000 had taken part.Ceremonies began around seven o’clock with bands, one Chinese and one American, at the West Gate and on the east side of the Plaza. The bands took turns performing. Lion dances and singing lasted more than two hours. Finally, with the crowd at a high level of exhilaration and anticipation, two Chinese opera singers from San Francisco’s famed Tai Mou Toi troupe lit the “tons” of fi recrackers.

New Chinatown had thrown a great party and made an auspicious start. Eyewitness historian William Hoy could declare in his “CHINATOWN” column in 1938,

“This new Chinatown is

the only Chinese community in

America which was planned

beforehand, something which

is typical of the present American

trend of community planning. Whether it will live up to the expectations of those who are responsible for its birth remains for the future to decide.”

Reprinted from The Los Angeles Chinatown 50th Year Guidebook, June 1988.

Authors are indebted to Peter SooHoo, Jr., George W. Tom and to E. Bingham, “Saga of the Los Angeles Chinese.”
