Abstract
CHONG BARREIRO, María Cruz. Life story of Don Fernando Chong Ham. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.5, pp. 295-299. Epub Oct 02, 2020. ISSN 2218-3620.
This historical research work reconstructs, through narrative, the adventure of the arrival from Canton China to Pachuca Mexico of an immigrant, Don Fernando Chong Ham, who was the owner of the famous restaurant "El Asia", which allows us to reconstruct the past of the city of Pachuca in Mexico in an objective and exact way possible. The collection and verification through an interview with his son, Dr. Fernando Javier Chong García, and the review of the available documents, allowed us to conclude that Mexico is a melting pot of cultures that somehow reflect a particular identity of its inhabitants.
Keywords : El Asia restaurant; Chinese immigrants in Pachuca; narrative; historical investigation.
