Shanghai Printing Company

Shanghai Printing Company 上海印刷公司

When Henry You Min Wong (1913-1992) came to Boston in the early 1930s from southern China’s Taishan (Toisan) region, he joined a cousin’s small printing business. Three years later, Wong bought the press and renamed it the Shanghai Printing Company. For many years, it was the leading source for Chinese-language printing in New England. The press produced civic documents and social announcements, laundry tickets, brochures for Chinese and Chinese-American students at local universities, and menus for Chinese restaurants across New England. In addition to his activities as a printer and publisher, Henry Wong worked for fair housing and improved labor practices in Chinatown and also advised many residents through the immigration process.

當王耀敏(1913-1992)在20世紀30年代早期從中國南部的台山地區來到波士頓的時候,他加入了一個表兄弟的小型印刷企業。三年後,Wong買下了這個印刷公司,重新命名為上海印刷公司。在之後多年,它都是紐英倫地區中文印刷的領導力量。這個印刷公司為華人和本地大學的華裔學生印刷公民文件和社會公告、洗衣票、宣傳冊,為紐英倫地區的華人餐館印刷菜單。除了印刷和出版的活動,王耀民還致力於華埠的公平住房和改善勞工關係,並且為很多居民提供移民過程的建議。
