able to take good care of their children. Wong She, Yip Sang’s second wife, was very young with”sensitive” eyes, but did not meet with the approval of lee She. She insisted he should marry third time, and this time choose someone more suitable to care for the children. Dong She, wife number three, was more mature and had the capacity to supervise the household and the children. Dong She convinced Yip Sang to take a fourth wife, Chin She, whose primary role was to be Dong She’s companion. With his four wives, Yip Sang had 23 children, one of whom became the first Chinese Canadian doctor to be recognized in Canada. In 1888, Yip Sang returned to Canada with three wives——Lee She died before they left.

1885年,他用在加拿大太平洋铁路公司挣的钱回到中国,并从1885年住到1888年。在那里,他娶了四个妻子。那时,对富有的年轻人来说这种情况很普遍。他和他的第一位妻子李氏有一个儿子和一个女儿。李氏在婚后得了重病,力劝他再娶一位妻子,以便照顾他们的孩子。他的第二位妻子汪氏,很年轻,有一双“多情”的眼睛,但却得不到李氏的认可。她坚持要他再结第三次婚,这次一定会选一个能够照顾孩子的。第三位妻子董氏比较成熟,有能力管理家务和照顾孩子。董氏又说服他要了第四位妻子金氏,她的主要角色是董氏的帮手。他与他的四个妻子有二十三个孩子,其中一个成为加拿大知名的第一位加籍华人医生。他和他的三个妻子于1888年回到加拿大——李氏在他们走之前已经去世。


On his return to Canada he undertook a new enterprise. He became a merchant, opening an import-export business in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown. Wing Sang Company specialized in goods imported from China. The company provided Chinese Canadians with merchandise not readily available in Vancouver and exported Canadian foodstuffs to China.

这次回到加拿大,他创办了一家新企业。他成了一位商人,在温哥华唐人街的中心地段开了一家进出口公司。Wing Sang公司的业务是从中国进口货物。该公司为华裔加拿大人供应在温哥华不容易买到的商品,并把加拿大的食品出口到中国。

His formula of pouring as much money as he could afford into building and expansion couldn’t help but succeed. In 1889, Yip Sang bought land on Pender Street in Chinatown and began construction of a complex, which still stands today. Initially being a two-story building with a ground floor storefront and a second floor residence, it was probably the first in Chinatown to be built of durable brick. Customers of the store walked on wooden platforms covering the unpaved dirt streets to avoid tracking the dust and mud into the building.

他倾其所有投资房地产的方式和扩展经营的方法大获成功。1889年,阿寿在唐人街的彭得街买地,开始建一座综合大楼,这座大楼至今犹在。最初是一座两层大楼,一楼作店面,二楼住人,这也许是唐人街上用耐用砖建造的第一座楼房。顾客进商店前,要走过铺在土路街上的木板平台,以免把灰尘和泥土带进屋里。
