ROCKY RAILWAY HIGH Honouring the Pioneer Chinese Railway Workers Rocky Railway High is an interactive art project that will bring 5,000 art submissions representing the pioneer railway workers back to their homeland in the Guangdong province of China for a permanent burial (a very important custom in Chinese culture). David invites you to help with the project by submittting a drawing or writing expressing your thoughts about the pioneer railway workers, head tax, and the Exclusion Act. Visit Rocky Railway High website for more information.
