作品說明 Introduction 

This zine was made for my solo exhibition at the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
The exhibit focused on the early labours taken on Chinese migrant workers in the early days of Canada.
Hand laundry was a common labour for Chinese workers as one only needed some space, heat source and water.
Since the English language was a barrier for many migrant workers, laundry work was common for Chinese.
