Abstract
This volume might be described as a panorama of the twentieth century -on two sides of the world.Canada went through two world wars and developed from a narrowly Eurocentred semi-colonial outpost into a nation that embraced a multicultural identity and gained respect for its independent foreign policy and initiatives in peacekeeping.China went through those same world wars, followed by a Communist revolution in 1949 and thirty years of political movements that led to great suffering for many of its citizens.Following Deng Xiaoping's accession to power in 1978 and the decision to open up to "modernization, the world and the future," China's economic progress changed the face of the nation and its role in the world.The tiny outpost of Hong Kong on the South China coast, a British colony from 1842 to 1997 and a dynamic city, also changed dramatically over the twentieth century.Its role as a way station for refugees from China who found their way to Canada in the years after the Second World War, along with the special relationship it developed with Canada in the years leading up to its return to China in 1997, give it a prominent place in the unfolding story.The focus on Chinese women who moved between China, Hong Kong, and Canada gives this story its unique character, providing unusual insights into the historical change process.Their lives were often caught up in restrictions imposed by China's patriarchal traditions and in disadvantages arising from discrimination and bias in Canadian immigration policy.Nevertheless, they exerted a remarkable degree of agency in the decisions they made and in their contributions to "Promise Land," Preface

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
