【摘要】：本文主要依据侨乡新近发现的各种文献、文物,从侨乡的角度,考察淘金华工、铁路华工去美国追逐梦想的动因和移民机制,初步分析了华工出洋的成本与收益,详细讨论了他们梦想的内涵,他们带给家庭、家族、家乡的各种层面的变化,他们为实现梦想所付出的血汗乃至生命。美国淘金华工、铁路华工生活在现实环境和精神家园两个世界之中,他们不仅是美国西部开发和美国工业化进程的直接参与者、推动者、见证者和贡献者,也是侨乡社会转型进步这一"侨乡梦"的参与者、推动者、见证者和贡献者。
[Abstract]:Based on various documents and cultural relics recently discovered in overseas Chinese villages, this paper examines the motivation and migration mechanism of gold miners and railway Chinese workers to pursue their dreams in the United States from the perspective of overseas Chinese townships, and analyzes the costs and benefits of Chinese workers leaving the country. The connotation of their dream was discussed in detail, the changes they brought to their families, families and hometown, the blood, sweat and even life they paid to realize their dreams. Chinese railway workers live in two worlds, the real environment and the spiritual homeland. They are not only the direct participants, promoters, witnesses and contributors to the western development of the United States and the process of American industrialization. They are also the participants, promoters, witnesses and contributors of the "dream of overseas Chinese".
