Then, Rebecca Liu, of the CCBA,\u00a0shares two ledgers with\u00a0detailed records of\u00a0all those buried and later disinterred from Block 14 in Lone Fir.<\/p>\n<p>The story continues with Lin traveling to Tung Wah Coffin Home and Hospital, in Hong Kong, which cared for and stored the remains as a transition point before being shipped to their final destination: the disinterred&#8217;s home village, to find out what happened to the 1949 shipment of disinterred remains. Through archival research at the Tung Wah Museum, and with assistance of Dr. Hon Ming Yip, Professor of History at the Chinese University of Hong Kong,\u00a0Lin finally uncovers the final resting place of the nearly 600 Chinese Oregonians. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">To see the\u00a0film in its entirety, check it out via the\u00a0OSU Libraries\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Media 5th Floor\u00a0(F884.P862 L66 2009)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><!-- available.tag end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Come Together Home&#8221; DVD In the documentary\u00a0Come Together Home: Death.
