Douglas Jung was born in Victoria in 1924. It was a time when Canada had shut its doors to Chinese immigration, and denied equal rights to Chinese living here. Jung believed he could help overturn these discriminatory policies if he volunteered to fight for Canada in WWII. It worked: two years after the war, in 1947, Chinese Canadians were finally granted full citizenship, including the right to vote and to hold public office. In 1957, Jung became the first person of Chinese descent to be elected to Parliament. He served two terms.
鄭天華是在1924年出生於域多利市。當時正值加拿大政府禁止中國移民進入加國，並拒絕給予居住在加拿大的華人平等權利。然而，鄭天華深信如果他入伍參軍，在第二次世界大戰為加拿大作戰，將有助助推翻這些歧視性的政策。他這想法在戰後兩年獲得了成果，華人終於在1947年可以成為加拿大公民，享有投票權和擔任公職的權利。而鄭天華亦於1957年成為首位華裔國會議員，並且兩度當選。
