Description

In a very silent grove of the Montreal Botanical garden lay a solitary leaf on pine needles.

What indeed is this oak leaf doing amidst the pine needles? It is far away from its brothers!

Since the beginning of time, people by will or necessity have left their natural habitats for other ones, seeking new beginnings!

How are those migrants going to be treated by the local inhabitants? Are they going to be helped like family or are they going to be alienated!

History has the rich example of the migrant Hakka people of North China who for some reason followed their exiled emperor to the southern provinces of China mainly Guangdong, Fujian and XiChuan in the sixth century of our era. They set their roots and blended in with the locals. As the centuries flowed, the word "Hakka" which originally meant 'Strangers" in chinese gradually changed its meaning into "Guests"
