| The Golden Dragon, started in 1947 by community activist
Lam Al Ying, is Cape Town’s first Chinese restaurant. Ying’s
widow and his daughter now continue his legacy. Through the
mother-daughter team we glimpse a country struggling to address
the bitter injustices and betrayals of its apartheid past.
Strangers in a strange land who kept to themselves, the divided
Chinese community is only now shaking off its confusion to claim
its place in the new South Africa. |
