Informations supplémentaires:
The small town of Chemainus, British Columbia, Canada, is well-known for its large outdoor wall murals. The work "The Hong Hing Waterfront Store" was painted by artist Paul Marcano in 1982. *** Fong Yen Lew was known to almost everyone as Hong Hing, the name he gave to his store. Born in the late 1800s, he came to Canada and set up his business in Chemainus around 1915. His enterprise began as a laundry, but he later sold groceries, chickens and second-hand goods. Eventually, he expanded into bootlegging and running a gambling house. n the 1950s, the opening of a government liquor store in Chemainus foretold the demise of Hong Hing’s establishment. His original building was eventually declared a fire trap and demolished. Hong Hing returned to China. *** Description partially sourced from the Chemainus Festival of Murals Society.
