"Paper Son: Lee's Journey to America" tells the poignant story of a young boy named Lee, who embarks on a perilous journey from China to America in the early 1900s. Facing discrimination and hardship, Lee navigates the treacherous landscape of immigration as he strives for a better life. With the help of a fabricated identity as a "paper son," he grapples with his cultural heritage while adapting to a new world. The narrative explores themes of family, resilience, and the pursuit of the American Dream, capturing the struggles and triumphs of those who seek freedom and opportunity in a foreign land.
