Hiram Fong grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii. He began picking beans when he was only four years old to help support his family. Fong also sold newspapers, shined shoes, and worked as a golf caddy when he was a boy. A golf caddy is a person who carries a player’s golf clubs.
Fong began working in Hawaii’s government in 1938. At that time, Hawaii belonged to the United States, but not a state. Fong believed that Hawaiians should be able to take part in making laws for the United States government, just as other Americans could. Fong said Hawaii should be a state of the United States. In 1959, Hawaii became the fiftieth state, and Fong was chosen as one of Hawaii’s first two senators (参议员). He became the first Asian-American in the United States Senate.
As a senator, Hiram Fong supported equal (平等的) rights. For example, he wanted the laws about immigrants (移民) to be fairer. He wanted to improve conditions for workers in factories and businesses. He also believed that women and men should be paid the same for doing the same job. In a lifetime of hard work, Fong found more than personal success. His work helped millions of people.
