I'd say the Monkey King is about as close as Chinese stories get to Coyote. And Bujold sounds a lot like Jim Butcher. (: Research says that it was illegal to bring 'oriental girls' into the state for any number of reasons, including prostitution. I have to decide whether to edit the dream or find out how strictly the law was actually enforced. Actually at the time there were a lot of anti-Chinese laws that I'd like to find out how well they were enforced.
I'm afraid everything I know about Chinese immigration laws in the nineteenth century I learned from watching "Kung Fu". So it's all completely accurate.
