==Early Life and Education==
Yee was born in Spalding, Saskatchewan in 1956 but was raised in Chinatown, Vancouver by his aunt Lilian.〔Yee, Paul. Blood and Iron: Building the Railway. Toronto: Scholastic Canada, 2010. Print.〕 He describes himself as feeling "caught between two worlds" growing up,〔Yee, Paul, and Simon Ng. ''Tales from Gold Mountain: Stories of the Chinese in the New World''. New York: Macmillan, 1989.〕 and many of his works about Chinese-Canadians reflect this tension. He attended Lord Strathcona Elementary School and Britannia Secondary School in Vancouver. Yee obtained a Bachleor's and Master's degree in Canadian History from the University of British Columbia.〔http://library.ryerson.ca/asianheritage/authors/yee/〕
