註釋Trouble is brewing in Washington Territory, 1885. The Wind Will Not Stop sets the story of a lonely boy living in Tacoma against the backdrop of a major historical event: the forced expulsion of Chinese immigrants from American towns in the late 1800s. Eleven-year-old Ty Ritter's only goal is to get through each day unnoticed. He's hungry, dirty, and can't read. He has no idea that across town, the Chinese are also trying to survive as they face daily persecution. When Ty adopts a three-legged dog, his life begins to change. He meets Eva, an intrepid girl from New York City. His life is saved by Mr. Low, a Chinese immigrant and successful businessman, Mrs. Low teaches him chess and many wise proverbs. They help to rescue Li, a runaway, and befriend the eternally optimistic Hop Sun. Ty soon realizes that life for the Chinese is getting increasingly difficult as Tacoma's mayor ramps up pressure to force them out. As the fight against the Chinese reaches its culmination, Ty discovers that he has some talents and skills after all. Is he strong enough to make a difference?
