Amidst the colorful markets and the lively Dragon Dances of San Francisco, he held a German postcard of a soldier bidding farewell before embarking on the battlefields of World War This poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict was a stark contrast to the joyous celebrations of the Chinese community.
