Rejected by a hostile regime in the US amid a rising tide of xenophobia, migrant workers fled south of the border in search of opportunities. They were not Mexican, but Chinese.<\/p>\n

A century ago the Colorado River Company brought in thousands of Chinese workers to build the railroad in California. But with construction complete, they were driven out of the country. Many returned to China, but others chose to travel south on foot to Mexico. There, they established an agriculture industry that still thrives.<\/p>\n

The Chinese that founded Mexicali, now the capital city of Baja California \u201cwere intimately involved in every phase of land reclamation and farm-making\u201d, according to historian\u00a0Jason Oliver<\/a>. Without them, he says, \u201cit would have taken decades longer to develop into one of the richest agricultural areas in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n

Chinese expertise in cotton cultivation allowed them to transform the desert border area into an irrigated colony by channelling water from the Colorado River. The irrigation system functions to this day and sustains abundant agricultural activity.<\/p>\n

Since the turn of the century, Mexicali has based its economy on agriculture.\u00a0Currently, over 15,000 people are employed in the sector in the Mexicali Valley producing mostly cotton but also wheat, alfalfa (a kind of hay), and vegetables, according to the\u00a0National Secretary of Agricultural Development<\/a>. Agricultural products are sold nationwide and the majority of those exported go to the US.<\/p>\n

The Mexicali Valley\u2019s climate is extremely arid and the water used in the region is still supplied by the Colorado River and regional aquifers. One of the main water management challenges the region faces today is supplying the growing urban population while still meeting demand from agriculture, according to a\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0by Duke University.<\/p>\n

Vibrant Chinese community<\/h2>\n

Mexicali\u00a0is a city\u00a0like no other in Mexico \u2014 it has more than 200 Cantonese restaurants that serve everything from sweet and sour fish and three-flavoured\u00a0shrimp, to fried rice and imitation shark fin soup. It has a vibrant and proud community that is only now beginning to embrace its painful past.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey say there was a time when newspapers and street signs in Mexicali were in Chinese,\u201d explains Li Bo, who has been teaching Mandarin in Mexicali for six years. \u201cThen Mexicans started arriving and they made it clear they did not want the Chinese around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Initially, Mexico welcomed Chinese migrants who began working the land by planting cotton, a crop so highly valued it became known as\u00a0\u201cwhite gold\u201d. However, nationalist sentiment grew alongside the Mexican Revolution \u2013 a radical transformation of Mexican society that championed agrarian reform.\u00a0Anti-Chinese sentiment festered. The rhetoric of the day had\u00a0alarming parallels<\/a>\u00a0with that espoused by the current US administration towards Mexicans: Chinese were accused of stealing jobs from the Mexicans and spreading diseases.<\/p>\n

Xenophobia spread through the northern states of Sinaloa, Sonora and Baja California. It culminated in the infamous Torre\u00f3n massacre, in which forces under the command of the revolutionary Francisco Madeiro murdered 300 Chinese and tortured hundreds more, according to historian Grace Pena Delgado.<\/p>\n

Out of fear, many took refuge in Mexicali in the basements of\u00a0La Chinesca<\/i>, an underground network that families used to protect themselves from the blisteringly high temperatures of the desert. For many years, the underground city became a refuge for Chinese in fear of their lives.<\/p>\n

Out of the shadows<\/h2>\n

Now, La Chinesca is a cultural centre and object of pride for a community mindful of the need to remember its painful past.\u00a0\u201cLa Chinesca<\/i>\u00a0has already become a museum where activities are carried out and Mexicans are invited to participate. The Chinese community always invites them,\u201d says Li Bo.<\/p>\n

Since the time of widespread xenophobia and persecution by revolutionary forces, the Chinese community has strengthened its relationship with the Mexican authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mexicali government has a lot of respect for us, from the City Council to various municipal and state departments dealing with areas such as migration, public safety and even the Health Ministry,\u201d explains Zhen Yingwei, president of the Association of Chinese Entrepreneurs in Northwest Mexico adding; \u201cThey help us, and they need our help.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was evidenced last year when the Chinese community mobilized to help victims of the devastating earthquake that hit the central city of Puebla, some 2,700 kilometres from Mexicali, on September 19. The 7.1 magnitude quake killed 326 and injured thousands more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the earthquake struck last year, we formed a group of volunteers to collect supplies,\u201d Zhen Yingwei recounted. \u201cI personally managed that group. In total, the community donated four trucks of food and cleaning products,\u201d he recalls.<\/p>\n

According to Zhen, the Mexican community was very grateful for Chinese community\u2019s acts of solidarity. It demonstrated how far the relationship had evolved from the days of hostilities and rejection.<\/p>\n

Despite this, cultural and language barriers persist and local schools continually make effort to promote integration. Cultural activities and traditional lunar celebrations happen every year. The Chinese New\u00a0Year is celebrated with shows, lanterns and brightly-coloured fabrics.<\/p>\n

There are huge festivals where Mexicans and Mexicans of Chinese descent enjoy the Cantonese cuisine. But restaurants now face a shortage of cooks, as many see China as a place of greater opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow it is much easier to make money in China than abroad,\u201d Zhen Yingwei explained. Since the Chinese founded Mexicali, China\u2019s has social fabric has changed drastically. Though estimates vary wildly, China\u2019s middle class now numbers up to\u00a0400 million people<\/a>\u00a0and is expected to double its spending over the next 15 years, according to the study\u00a0China\u2019s Consumer: Sleeping Giant\u00a0<\/i>by\u00a0ANZ Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Li Bo believes that there is still a desire to migrate to north but she plans on staying put having grown accustomed to Mexico\u2019s charms.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is almost a dream for the Chinese who came here to go to the US, or at least to have American residency. Many Chinese stay here and then move on,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I don\u2019t want to go. I don\u2019t like that country,\u201d she adds, laughing. \u201cI really like Mexican food.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
