Information
Much is known about early Chinese settlement from the first influx of Chinese gold-miners in the mid 1800s, to the anti Chinese immigration policy that evolved soon after. But some stories have rarely been told.
In this four part series Jason Moon tells some of these tales... from a murder in Wellington's notorious China town, to the mysterious tale of a ship that sank in the far north more than a hundred years ago.
'Tales of New Zealand Chinese History' was produced by Jason Moon for Radio New Zealand National.
