A SOCIOLOGICCAL STUDIES ON EMIGRANT IN MIO VILLAGE-MIO,MIHAMACHO,HIDAKAGUNN,WAKAYAMAKEN-

我们要求告密者跟我们谈谈他们的家庭情况。我们得到了关于他们家族的重要信息。你们家族中谁最先去了加拿大？他们是什么时候去的，又是怎么去的？他们做了什么？这是我们的主要问题。让我们从体面的家庭中挑选一位CASE.Y.T.IS。她1923年出生在温哥华附近的史蒂维斯顿。她的父亲从Mio的小学毕业后去了加拿大。几年后，他努力工作，成为了一名船主。于是，他回到日本去找玛丽。在她的父母去了阿肯色州的斯蒂维斯顿之后。1932年，当她的妹妹生病时，她全家都回日本让她去看医生。之后，Y.T.没有机会去她的家乡看看，当她的家人回到加拿大时，她和她父亲的亲戚住在MIO。她那段日子过得很艰难。这是一种回忆。对她来说，这在MIO很常见。需要强调的是，温哥华的Wakayama Kenjinkai(县协会)和MIO的委员会之间关系良好，该委员会成立的目的是促进MIO的国际化。
