Available in Many Decorator Colors China has changed a great deal in 40 years Lew Hein, 9 Maryvale Crescent, Rich- mond Hill, found when he returned to the land of his birth last summer to visit relatives. Mr. Hein. a resident of Richmond Hill for 19 years, intended to go on to his birthplace. Sardoy' Village. But when he reached Canton the heat was so oppressive he settled into a comfortable suite at the Chinese Over- seas Hotel and invited his relatives to join him. When he left China more than 40 years ago, the country was “in a mess", Mr. Hein said in an in- terviewl There were beggars all over, bandits, prostitutes, gangsters. extortionists. But on his return in July he saw none of this. The people are very happy. live peacefully and work very hard. Lew Hein, a resident of Richmond Hill for 19 years, surrounded by relatives in the Chin- ese Overseas Hotel in Canton, China, is not hard to identify in the picture above. Mr. Hein, national president of the Chinese Canad- ian Citizens Association, returned to the land of his birth in July for the first time in more “They work so hard it is hardly human,“ said Mr. Hein. “They are stoically indifferent to material comforts, working for a purpose with beliefs and principles that defy definition. They can stand up to any hardship.” Before the “liberation” (the take-over {and unifaction of the country by the present regime in 1949) the majority of people were almost naked. had little shelter and no shoes. Now every one he saw was adequately dressed. Not a single person was barefooted or topless. Mr. Hein had anticipated hot weather, for Canton, a City of over 3 million, is in the southeast corner of China just west of Hong Kong and south of the Tropic of Capricorn. He packed cool summer shirts and shorts. But after viewing the citizenry and their style of dress, he left the shorts in his bag. “I did not dare to wear them." he said Anxious to see how the people outside the city live, he travelled as extensively as time would permit. He was particularly anxious to look into the food situation. GOOD NU RlTlON The Cana lan visitor found plenty of vegetables, poultry, eggs and fish, but little beef and just enough rice to supplement the other staples. Worst of all was the shortage of pork â€" a staple in China. The food supply is' by no means equivalent to that of the Western world. said Mr. Hein. But where nutrition is concerned the Chinese are By MAkGARET LADE w Hein, a resident of Richmond Hill for 's, surrounded by relatives in the Chin- erseas Hotel in Canton, China, is not 0 identify in the picture above. Mr. ational president of the Chinese Canad- izens Association, returned to the land birth in July for the first time in more than 40 years to find dramatic changes in life style and living standards. He and the assoc- iation he represents have been working for 25 years to improve Canadian-Chinese immigra- tion laws and are pleased with the progress that has been made. Modern Chinese Contrast To 40 Years Ago it is a sin to leave a grain of rice. a piece of meat, on one's plate at the end of a meal. in-law. nieces, nephews. Many of them he had never met. Anxious to be a gracious host, Mr. Hein ordered food in generous proportions, more than the party could possibly eat. He was gently reprimanded by a nephew who explained to him the virtues of frugality, adding When Mr. Hein invited his relatives to be his guests in Canton. 30 of them ‘rrived â€" mother. sisters. brothersâ€" (‘ANUCK REPRESENTATIVE Although the trip was made at his own expense and all his travel and en- tertainment costs came out of his own pocket. Mr. Hein did not make the trip for personal reasons alone. certainly as comfortable as other nations of the world. He is national president of the Chinese Canadian Citizens' Association and several years ago worked with the late Foon Sien in founding a branch of the association in Vancouver. The association was established in 1949 and in corporated as a federation in 1951. Two of his relatives â€" both farmers â€" have asked him to sponsor them for immigration to Canada. BUSINESS CAREER Now retired, Mr. Hein was an active businessman for most of his more than 40 years here. For 21 years he was an insurance un- derwriter. then he founded a motor service business in downtown Toronto. It was bought up to make way for a new professional building and Mr. Hein went into the restaurant business. He was in food services for 14 years and was a director of the Canadian Restaurant Association. also a director of a merchants‘ association. Each year Lew Hein and Foon Sien presented a brief on behalf of the association to the Minister of Immigration in Ottawa, asking immigration laws relating to Chinese be im- proved. reports Mr. Hein. Each year he goes to Vancouver, since the death of Mr. Mr. Sien. to officiate at the installation of officers of that branch. This, like the trip to China, is done at his own expense, but he does it gladly. Mr” Hein’s comfortable home on Maryvale Crescent with its screened-in summer “I have always lived by principles and social con- science," Mr‘ Hein explains. house in the beautifully landscaped back garden is far removed from the villages he visited in China. And the lives led by his attractive and gracious wife Gim. son Roger, a student at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, and daughter Patty‘ a student at Roselawn Senior School, bear little resemblance to the lives of the relatives they have never seen who live in Sardoy Village. LIVING STANDARDS One day, accompanied by some of his relatives, Mr. Hein took a taxi to the city limits between Canton and the ancient city of Fad Shan where they stopped to study living standards. Just as they arrived three bishops were about to enter the community hall. An old man. one of the leaders of the village, in« vited Mr. Hein to join them. They offered him tea and cigarettes‘ but Mr. Hein does not smoke. He asked many questions, however, about the life style and living standards of China today. He was told that before the liberation people lived in constant fear of robbers and terrorists. Now the village is quiet and peaceful. They are quite content with the present government. He learned from his relatives that his birthplace is now a commune. The commune is responsible for education, ' welfare, labor. social. medical and tran- sportation. But Chinese villages do not compare with our villages. Known as a Hsian, a village houses many thousands of people united in one commune for administrative purposes. Each Hsian is self- sufficient. It is not depen- dent on the central govern- ment. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ' Mr. Hein described the country as a “chess board” with each square related to the other. but independent in itself. Each has its own administration. Until two years ago, all people of Chinese birth were still considered Chinese. Now, however, Chinese who have been living in other countries are registered as “foreign” and must go Ward 3 to meet The Ward 3 Ratepayers Group (Richmond Hill) will be meeting October 17 in Room 2 at Walter Scott School to discuss current areas of concern. Another meeting has been arranged for November. through the same procedures as any other visitor to the country. It took two days for Mr. Hein to complete the registration. But when he wanted to visit outside of Canton he found he had failed to have his tickets properly changed before leaving Hong Kong. REAL HOSPITALITY Officialdom is not altogether heartless. The tour hostess got up at 5 am, and bicycled about 20 miles to exchange the tickets for Mr. Hein. returning just minutes before his train was due to leave for a trip to Seven Crags, a great scenic attraction some 140 miles from Canton. from Canton. The highlight of the trip was, of course, the reunion with his family, but it was also a real eye-opener; Brief as the visit was, Mr. Hein now has a better un- derstanding of what fellow Canadian Chinese are talking about when they refer to the old China and the new‘ He has one word of advice for Canadians.
