This monument is placed to honor the early Chinese people of Sierra County who gave so much of their labor to the settlement of the West and this Gold Country. Their contribution in the building of the many roads, railroads, walls, ditches, and personal services will long be remembered.

The brick-like rock imbedded above this plaque and inscribed 'Great Wall' in Chinese characters, came from the Great Wall of China near Bejing and is intended to be symbolic of their accomplishments, good will, and origin.

This memorial is dedicated in the name of Ah Quong also known as Queen Lou! The last Chinese resident of Sierra City who died July 23, 1934.
