“Sui Sin Far” is a chapter of the book Entre dos mundos compiled and edited by Aitor Ibarrola-Armendariz. Sui Sin Far, her pen name, is the Cantonese name of the narcissus flower, popular amongst Chinese people. Her real name was Edith Maud Eaton (1865-1914) and she was born in England. She was the first author with Chinese ancestry in defending the rights of her countrymen in America. She faced the widespread belief at the time that the Chinese were unable to assimilate into Western culture.

It forbade the entry of Chinese immigrants in the country.
