Introduction of New Vancouver Eduction Consul: Hu Hong-Liang ......... 46 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Introduction of New Vancouver Eduction Consul ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hu Hong-Liang --- the New Acting Education Consul in Vancouver Chinese students and scholars in BC may expect either benefit or troubles from the Education Section of Chinese Consulate General. Mr. Hu Hong-Liang, who came from The Chinese University of Science and Technology in An-Hui province, has taken Consul Li's (Education Section) place since Li left Vancouver for an official trip. Mr. Hu, a visiting scholar at UBC, is now working as a part-time act- ing education consul for the Chinese Consulate in Vancouver. He and his wife now are living in the luxury town-house of Consul Li's home for free. This is at least the second time that Mr. Hu takes this place as the deputy consul. He did once when the famous consul Liu Zaixiang temporarily went back to China several months ago. During the last a few years, Mr. Hu has been well known as an active informer to Chinese Consulate General in Vancouver area. Referring to his close personal relationship with the consulate officers, Hu once said "they were our comrades, friends and leaders, why don't we tell them everything we know". Many Chinese students who used to work or live together with Hu are not that surprised of Hu's promotion. They think this as a penny-pincher, and certainly will not bring the Communist Party any better reputation. Being an acting consul, Mr. Hu may be able to review all the highly confidential files about Chinese students and scholars at the three univer- sities in BC. This may be a bad news to most pro-democracy Chinese students in BC. But on the other hand it may also bring somthing good. For example, because Mr. Hu is looking after everything for consul Li, including his private home as well as his routine work, it may be a good opportunity now for those who need to renew their passports. Mr. Hu has been working in the Department of Chemistry in the University of British Columbia as a visiting scholar for almost five years. He has been supposed to go back since three years ago to `serve our motherland' as he always teaches and encourages his fellows. By following his example, people may expect to get their study periods or passports easily extended from the new Acting Educa- tion Consul --- Mr. Hu. If his can be extended, why can't others. People are encouraged to take this advantage while Consul Li is absent. For appointments, please contact with Mr. Hu at Consul Li's office 2281 McBain Avenue, Vancouver, B.C., or phone (604)732-6723 (in evenings). +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Source: CND correspondents in Vancouver Revised and Edited: Rupert Zhu, rzhu@violet.uwaterloo.ca News Transmission: Bo Chi, chi@vlsi.uwaterloo.ca +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | China News Digest Subscription: (Xinmeng Liao) xliao@ccm.umanitoba.ca | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Wed Feb 28 11:39:51 EST 1990
