This episode features Yu Tao and Lucy Hair in conversation about the remarkable story of Felix Wong, the original founder of Café Canton. Long before the restaurant gained fame under Wong Sue during the Second World War, Felix Wong opened its doors in 1929—a period when Western Australia’s Chinese community was shrinking under restrictive immigration policies. Through his determination to build a business and keep his family together, Felix Wong’s story offers a moving glimpse into the resilience and everyday perseverance of Chinese Australians during a difficult era.
