历史
Jack Eng was one of the early arrivals to Canada. He landed on Canadian shores in 1882, just a few years before the Chinese Immigration Act was passed to introduce the Chinese head tax.
It is believed he had trained as a tailor while in China. In the attic of the family home was discovered an old pedal-operated Singer sewing machine. In Canada, Jack made his living primarily working as a millhand in a lumber yard.
Jack had 10 children altogether, although three of them died during the 1918 Spanish flu. His surviving children were: Hong, Joe, Dora, George, Jean, Larry and Phyllis.
He loved to dress up in a three-piece suit and walk down to Vancouver’s Chinatown to visit his cronies at the Nam Ping Society. On occasion, he brought along his granddaughter Bev Eng (known as Bev Wong after marriage). She recalls shopkeepers giving them cha sui (barbecue pork) and friends handing her laisee (red envelopes with lucky money) whenever Bev was with her grandfather.
Jack passed away January 7, 1955 at the age of 92.
