Everyone accepts the 9 O'Clock gun in Vancouver even the Chinks. Makes them feel at home. But why is there a 9 O'Clock gun. One spring night in 1958 I was in the back yard watching my my mother take down the laundry off the clothes line and I heard a distand boom. What's that? I asked. That's the 9 O'Clock gun she replied. What is that for? I said. It's for the curfew she said. For who? I asked. She didn't reply.
Up to the late 1930's there was a wall around chinatown with a big locking gate on it. The sound of the 9 O'Clock gun was the curfew for Chinamen to get inside the walls and be locked in to prevent their evil influence on white society
