Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at the coordinates given, but you can find out more information about China Mary at the Joss House located at these coordinates.

This cache takes you to the historic location of Evanston's China Town. Solve this puzzle and you will go to an initial location. Once there, go to step two to figure out coordinates for the actual cache (a short walk from initial location).

Step 1:
This should be easy for now, it may get harder as time goes by.
Add China's luckiest day to 4035383
Subtract China's luckies day - with full year - from 19139866

Step 2:
41 16.1_ _ Here the Chinese lived, worked and died - the duration of which must be supplied.
110 57._5_ The "pillars" make the community strong while the "windows" watch the "times" go by.

The hint definitely has spoiler information, so don't read if you want to solve on your own.
