"There's a banner wrapped around the bamboo ring and young people fight for the rings during the firing of the bombs and take that banner to the temple and it's put on the wall for one year they make a donation to the temple," Tom said.He said in recent years, parade visitors have taken a greater interest in learning about the past at one of the most extensive Chinese history museums in the state, with thousands of artifacts in Marysville. While the streets of Chinatown may look different today, the essence of Chinese influence still remains"These people were tough people," Tom said.
