Songs of Gold Mountain: Recommended by Famous Masters
These original anthologies group the folk songs into more than 70 categories, covering immigration, hardships in America, homesickness and loss, the suffering of women, wealth, Westernization, love, marriage, opium use, gambling, womanizing, and prostitutes. Many of the verses are written from the perspective of women, but according to Hom, most of them were likely written by men, a standard practice of Cantonese writers.
