Who's Who in Vancouver (issue 1)

Topic of this issue: I see Hong Xu's educational complex.

When I recorded an article about Ms. Xu Hong's educational complex (article link: this woman dared to discuss the great cause of education in China with Bill Gates of Niu Gensheng), I didn't expect it to cause a huge sensation in the Vancouver Chinese community. In just one day, nearly 9,000 people have read three reports about Ms. Xu Hong's educational charity in China. Ms. Xu Hong told me that I received countless phone calls this day, and the inquiries on WeChat flooded in. It can be seen that everyone has a strong interest and enthusiasm for how to better educate the next generation, better promote Chinese and help westerners learn and understand China.

In the numerous feedbacks, we interviewed several elites who are well-known in the Chinese community in Vancouver, and asked them to talk about Ms. Xu Hong (many people affectionately call her "Sister Xu")' s experience in promoting Chinese education.

The following words are in interview order, in no particular order.

Ms. Qu has devoted herself to improving the status and image of Chinese since she became a politician on 20 13. She successfully urged the BC provincial government to correct the unfair history of discriminating against Chinese in the past, and wrote the contribution of Chinese to the development of Canada into textbooks. Ms Qu said that she had long heard that Xu Hong was committed to serving the Chinese community. She thinks that Xu Hong is an example for China immigrants to lead everyone into the mainstream society. Her experience in training her daughter to learn Chinese has made her feel deeply about the plot of Chinese education in Xu Hong:
