her new-found love for GodThis essay is going to talk about the Chinese gold miners. Why they leave their country, why do they wanted to go to New Zealand and the problems they have to face when arrived at NZ.
First, what are the push factors that made the Chinese gold miner wanted to leave their country?The most important factor was economic hardship due to the growing British dominance over China, they were ruled by the British, they felt unsafe and disappointed with their country. And at that time the living condition was really bad: crime rate rise, streets are dirty, using opium, goods price were very high, the poor's everywhere and they have no rights against the British.
Second, why do they wanted to go to New Zealand? Because there was gold, most of the Chinese miner came here, hoped to return to China as rich men and to be honored for returning that way. And they were escaping poverty in China as well, they came here to for a better life and job, wanted their children to grow up with good education.
Thirdly, what problem did they face when arrived at New Zealand? The first problem they face is to pay the poll tax( $100), which is a lot of money at that time, when some Chinese miners objected and refused to pay the unfair tax, they were physically attacked and even murdered. Secondly, is the language and culture difference, the Chinese miner speaks differently, eats differently and is not the same to the New Zealanders. Thirdly, most of the people has anti-chinese feelings. the Chinese had to face practical jokes, their possessions were burnt, stones were thrown and there was name-calling.
In conclusion, the push factors for the Chinese miners are the unsafe feeling and the disappointment of their country, the pull factors are wanting to make money from gold digging and a better life and the problem they face are language, culture and racism.
