2 7 y separately published work icon The Chinese Boy David Martin , Hornsby Leicester : Hodder and Stoughton Brockhampton Press , 1973 Z528566 1973 single work novel historical fiction young adult 'Ho is a young Chinese boy on the turbulent Australian goldfields, where his people are distrusted and despised - and feared. He is an interpreter for five humble men from Wild Pheasant village, in Lwantung Province, led by his indomitable uncle, Chan Hong. Together with a bony horse they call Yo Fei, they set out to find a golden fortune. Against the ever-changing, frenetic, and often violent background of gold fever, this story relates what happened to the Chinese in the ice-bound Snowy Mountains where they were used as human camels, known as the Celestial Transport Company; and on the Lambing Flat diggings, where they broke out from Blackguard Gully before the tragedy of the great roll-up.'
