What is iris Chang's purpose for writing building the transcontinental railroad?cite evidence from the text that helps you infer her purpose

Chang purpose is to show that the Chinese brought distinctive cultural traits to America—such as reverence for education, hard work, thriftiness, entrepreneurship, and family loyalty—which actually helped many of them to achieve rapid success in their adopted country, America.

Explanation:

Chang's book shows the continuity of the Chinese migrants journey in the United State of the past century. The hardwork exihibted by the Chinese during the building of the continental railroad could be seen in them working from sunrise to sunset (6 days a week ) and at same time assuming the most dangerous work when the construction was going on.

While the White labourer complained of the job being harder, it was only the chinese that were willing to take up the hard part of the construction. Some of the jobs they did include pouring nitroglycerin into holes drilled in granite and exploding of dynamite while suspended by ropes on the sides of steep mountain cliffs.

Eventhough, so many people died while the project was ongoing, it still did not limit them from contributing towards the success of that railroad construction.
