Subject: Summary: Byron Yee - Discovering a Paper Son

Bing Quail Yee, Byron Yee's father came from China to escape the Japanese invasion in 1938. He and his brother settle themselves on Ellis Island to work, but in 1882 Congress had passed a law prohibiting Chinese immigrants to work in United States. So Yee's father and his brother were ilegal immigrants.
Byron Yee tell us that people from other countries were kept for interrogation for one day at most, but Chinese immigrants were kept for even two years! To escape the law, Bing Quail Yee and his brother created a false document proving that Bing Quail's brother was actually his father, so Bing Quail being (false, actually) American and Quail's brother having and American son, they could stay in the USA to work.
Bing Quail Yee was asked 197 questions about his origins and, after that, he and his brother were free from the investigation.
Several years later, Byron Yee discovered that his father was a paper son (a son only in the paper) and that his grandfather was actually his uncle! Byron Yee finishes his story saying that he couldn't feel more thankful to his father and uncle for doing what they had to do so that he could be there in USA today.
