Instruction: 1. illustration very simple During the Civil War, the Transcontinental Railroad aimed to link the U.S. coasts. The Central Pacific Railroad started in Sacramento, CA, employing Chinese laborers, and the Union Pacific in Omaha, NE, with Irish immigrants, Civil War veterans, and freed slaves. Up to 20,000 Chinese workers joined, including 12-year-old Li Wei and his father, who faced discrimination with lower pay and no food or housing. The work was extremely dangerous, with rockslides, explosions, and avalanches, especially in the Sierra Nevada, where workers faced harsh winters and isolation. Sadly, Li Wei’s father died in a rockslide. In 1867, Li Wei and many Chinese workers went on strike for better pay and conditions, but saw limited success. Tensions rose with Native American tribes, like the Cheyenne, who derailed a train near Plum Creek, NE, reflecting the challenges of westward expansion. Despite these struggles, progress continued. On May 10, 1869, the railroad was completed at Promontory Summit, UT, marking a new era in American transportation. Afterward, Li Wei and others faced discrimination in finding work and often lived in isolated Chinatowns. On October 24, 1871, violence erupted in Los Angeles’ Chinatown, killing 19 Chinese, including Li Wei’s friend. In 1875, grieving, Li Wei returned to China. The Transcontinental Railroad was transformative, yet costly for Chinese workers who made up most of the Central Pacific workforce. Facing discrimination and hazardous conditions, they were key to the railroad’s completion. Over 1,200 Chinese workers died, highlighting their sacrifice. Despite advancing U.S. infrastructure, they encountered ongoing hostility and laws against them. Their resilience underscores their overlooked role in shaping 19th-century America.

His friend Omar was great at painting, Ahmad could run faster than anyone, and Anas played the violin beautifully. Ali would watch them and wonder, “What am I good at?” Ali returned to the village, feeling proud. When Granny Muna saw him, she smiled warmly and said, “Did you find your treasure, Ali?” He replied, “I did. My treasure is helping others.” Granny Muna said, “That is a gift greater than any gold. You see, the real treasure is discovering what makes you you.” One day, the village elder, a wise old woman named Granny Muna, called all the children together. She had exciting news: "In the forest, there is a hidden treasure, but this treasure is different. It’s something that only you can find. Each of you will discover something special about yourselves." The children were excited and ran into the forest, eager to find the treasure. Ali followed, but he wasn’t sure where to look. As they searched, Omar found a shiny rock and painted a beautiful picture of the forest. Ahmad discovered a tall hill and raced to the top, faster than anyone else. Anas found a fallen branch and played a lovely tune on his violin. But Ali wandered, unsure of what treasure he was supposed to find. Just as he was about to give up, Ali heard a faint sound.

The bird fluttered its wings and sang a sweet melody of thanks before flying off. Suddenly, Ali realized something: he had a special talent too! He was kind and gentle, and he knew how to help others. Even though it wasn’t something he could see or hold, it was a treasure deep inside him.
