During the Australian Gold Rush in 1851, thousands of Chinese gold miners were killed in series of riots due to conflict of interest and cultural difference. A monument is established and will be revealed on October 9 at Rookwood Cemetery in memory of these victims. Winmas Yu interviewed Mr. David Chen, the President of the Australian Chinese Workers Association.
