Project Gutenberg 2004-09-17 Public domain in the USA. 80 Twain, Mark 1835 1910 Clemens, Samuel Langhorne Twain, Mark (Samuel Clemens) Goldsmith's Friend Abroad Again Produced by David Widger "Goldsmith's Friend Abroad Again" by Mark Twain is a satirical narrative that can be classified as a collection of letters written during the late 19th century. This work captures the experiences of a Chinese immigrant, Ah Song Hi, as he travels to America—a land he believes to be filled with opportunity and freedom. However, through his letters, Twain critiques the harsh realities and discrimination faced by Chinese immigrants in America. In this collection, Ah Song Hi recounts his journey from China to San Francisco, filled with hope for a better life. Upon arrival, however, he faces a series of humiliations and injustices, including mistreatment by authorities and the general populace. His dreams of equality are shattered as he experiences prejudice and violence simply because of his nationality. From being wrongfully arrested to the stark reality of being treated like a second-class citizen, Twain uses Ah Song Hi's experiences to highlight the disparity between the ideal of America as a refuge for the oppressed and the troubling reality that immigrants, especially those from Asia, faced in their pursuit of the American Dream. Through humor and irony, the narrative presents a poignant critique of American society and its treatment of marginalized individuals.
