When I was in primary school I frequented our principal’s office a
little too much. His name was Zeev, which means Wolf, and he had a
dramatic deep raspy voice that scared most little kids. He smoked a
lot and his skin showed it.

His office was large, dark, and smelled from tobacco. It installed
fear in all the naughty boys, but when the man himself opened his
mouth and spoke he was surprisingly patient and fathering. Each
one of us has memories of our principals. If we went to good schools,
likely those memories would be pleasant ones. But all in all, this top
position requires them to be outstanding, mostly as mentors and
leaders. And so are the principals who serve the children of our
community.
This month’s cover story’s idea was parked in my head for the last
few years. Head of schools are usually strong characters who deal
with a lot of issues from every direction—parents, teachers and of
course, students. But are they as strong as we expect them to be?
And how do they feel about raising your kids?
I always wanted to find out the differences and similarities these
school leaders might portray. Since I send my kids to schools in
Dongguan, I find it very interesting to compare the personalities of
the people who are in control, mainly because it might reflect on the
schools they command. Meet these eight private schools principals
inside (pgs. 18 – 26).

Dear Editor,
Could you please tell me the name of health
insurance for foreigners in China?
I am Canadian and would like to purchase health
insurance in China.
Nicole
HERE!: This is a serious question that will be
tough to answer thoroughly in this forum. Step
one to insuring a healthy, tranquil lifestyle while
living abroad, especially considering that Chinese
regulation makes business tough for foreign
insurance companies, is to be knowledgeable.
Know the health risks of the region, and prepare
yourself for them with updates to lifestyle choices,
diet and vaccinations. Most domestic insurance
companies, such as Pingan and China Pacific
Insurance, accept foreign clients. For international
standard service try AIG and for a small business
package, Allianz China Life Insurance might be
worth a look. Nicole, check your inbox for a direct
recommendation that may suit you personally.
Dear Editor,
My husband and I were reading this month’s
magazine and it wasn’t until I exclaimed, “What?!
This is a real ad?” that I realized, “Oh, it’s actually
probably fake.” Fooled us. That was a pretty
creative and super funny ad.
Body Hair by Merke. Natural protection from
the sun. Awesome!
Hope we win. We love Brazilian BBQ!
Jamie and James Ghormley
HERE!: Most ads are inspired by historic or pop
culture references, so we can’t take credit for the
substratum. But the fake ads, we feel, construct a
warm tribute to slightly campy sensibilities, while
subsisting in a post-postmodern world. Err? We
just like goofing around. They’ve been running
for 42 months. There have been a few discussions
about changing up the tradition, but it is just too
much fun. That’s how we feel, but it is certainly
time to probe the public pulse. Should change
come? Maybe you like trivia or images to caption?

Wild Life Tragedy On March 3, a raid on a
country-style restaurant hidden in Dalang’s
Songmushan Village uncovered almost 200
wild animals from the national list of protected
animals, most of them had already been preserved
as tonics. The massive restaurant, taking up three,
three-storied houses, reportedly attracted nightly
customers from Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Next to the entrance gate two wild goshawks
were trapped with several chickens, ducks and
geese in a single coop. Another cage held seven
live snakes, including two cobras. Lining the hall
and the kitchen, rows of jars were filled with rare
geckos and protected birds. The owners and chef
were arrested and face up to ten years in prison.

Bus Porter Shows All A passenger on the No.108
bus, refusing to pay a fair that had been raised by
40 percent for the Spring Festival, incited an anger
fueled response from the coach’s porter that he
likely didn’t expect. At about 10 a.m. on February
28, a man surnamed Gao boarded at the East
Railway Bus Station insisting to pay the normal
price. The porter decided she didn’t need the gruff,
ripped up the 15 yuan and told Gao he was not a
man. Gao disagreed and decided to take a picture
of his new nemesis, who walked over, lifted her
shirt and said roughly, “Take a picture of this.” The
bus company has defended their employee, saying
that she had been going through personal issues,
but pledged to fire her if they confirmed the story.

Dongguan Can Make Laws Now On March 15,
the draft of the Legislation Amendment Act was
approved by the People’s Congress Conference in
Beijing. It suggested that legislative power should
be granted to Dongguan. As a prefecture-level
city without counties, Dongguan has been asking
for this power since 2009. Without it, the city
ran into difficulties in managing the issues such
as the motorcycle ban and the management of
flowing population. After gaining the power,
Dongguan will be able to make its own laws and
regulations for environmental protection, urban
and rural construction management, and history
Who Let the Dogs Out? The noise and
unsanitary conditions from dozens of Tibetan
Mastiffs belonging to a Zhangmutou man
provoked a news crew to investigate after chronic
neighborhood complaints. The dogs were kept
in two cages in the yard, and when the news crew
questioned the man surnamed Liang, he yelled
“get out, or I will let my dogs bite you,” and
showed his penis to drive away reporters. The
neighbors claimed they sometimes needed to stay
in hotels, but Liang refused to make changes. Soon
his family convinced him to return inside. Seeing
the reporters walking around his house, he yelled
and showed his private parts again, this time from
the balcony and wielding a beer bottle. (sun0769.

Breast Milk Bank To encourage the feeding
of breast milk to area newborns, the Dongguan
Children’s Hospital is planning to build the city’s
first breast milk bank. Research from the hotpital
showed that only 10 percent of the mothers who
delivered in the hospital fed their babies breast
milk. The bank will first collect breast milk from
the mothers in the hospital and feed their babies
first. Then they will encourage these mothers to
donate milk. In the future they hope milk from
outside of the hospital can be collected for babies
in need. The hospital has banned all formula milk
advertisement and promotions, but can’t stop
people from bringing it in. (Guangzhou Daily)

Reality Film
If you walked into a cinema
to find your common-day
life on screen, would you
then notice the little things
slipping between rushing
footsteps? Would you
notice that the window’s
reflection of twilight is
beautiful? From March 18, to June 18, a concept art installation is designed
to connect the public with the experience every day.
It works by stepping into one of three 12-meter-long, makeshift cinemas to
peer out a broad, screen-shaped window. As daily life passes by, well-known
film scores support a plot that develops in the moment with a camera
capturing audience reaction from the back of the room, while that camera’s
footage will be kept as a surprise.
Dutch artist Job Koelewijn once convinced an art gallery to cut a hole in its
wall as an exhibit of reality, but after two years of complaints from gallery
stakeholders, he turned down invitations from other museums to do the
same. Instead, he sliced a broad opening into a container on wheels. Swiss
artist and curator Klaus Littmann later joined with improvements to the
original concept and together they have toured five Swiss cities from 2010
to 2012 before last month’s Chinese debut in Dongguan.
The crucial element is the music, which “gives the movie a new dimension,”
said Littmann. While they say the project has neither linguistic nor cultural
boundaries, famous Chinese soundtracks were added in hopes for a more
personal connection complimenting the new locations and weather
conditions.
During a chauffeured tour around downtown, Littman chose locations
after witnessing movement and action of people and cars outside of Yulan
Theater, compared to spots like the east gate at People’s Park. There he said,
senior citizens were sitting in wheelchairs all day long. While at the entrance
of Dongcheng Walking Street he
saw a film scene. “It was not like
I try to say this is typical Chinese,
because everything is typical
Chinese here,” Littmann said. “For
me it’s only important to have
different characters—crowded or
peaceful.” The exhibit can be seen
at the Lingnan Museum of Fine
Arts as well.

With sponsorship from ArtsRouge International, an organization based in
Dongguan promoting artistic exchange, the project has gained government
support. “I realize the government really wants to have responsibility to
install Dongguan as a very good city in the culture,” Littmann said. The
cinema will open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. until June 18. Then they
travel to other Pearl River Delta cities before heading to Beijing, Shanghai
and Hangzhou next year.

Novelty Pet
To some, they are ugly, creepy even. To local
Liaobu businessman, Zhong Zhiming, spiders
are his favorite and “easiest to care for” pet. Newly
popular in China and regulated from import,
Zhong has slowly built and bred his collection of
tarantulas over the last five years from the few that
decorated his pharmacies to hundreds from all
over the world.
To store these large, hairy arachnids, Zhong has
rented a one-room, second-floor apartment in
a residential house. The 10-sq. meter room is lined from corner to corner
with shelves of plastic containers where they can quietly stay in a prone
position for hours. Next to the door, an incubator is filled with hundreds of
eggs and babies. “As long as they don’t hurt humans, it’s OK,” said next door
neighbor Ms. Xie.
The biggest, one of Zhong’s favorites, is a female kept in an aquarium minijungle, which in the wild can grow up to 30 centimeters across. Among his
almost 100 species, some are rare beauties. The Gooty sapphire from India,
for example, reflects a brilliant metallic blue color with intricate patterns on
its abdomen.
Import law forbids the spiders from being mailed, but Zhong has been able
to walk them across the Hong Kong border and he works with other area
breeders to nurture the offspring. Although a single, fist-sized tarantula can
sell for up to RMB 1,000, Zhong claims to keep them only as a hobby.

Gallery Brings Latin Art
Since the beginning of 2015, a small but
noticeable art gallery has opened its doors
to the public and to a handful of talented
Mexican artists.
Dilio Gallery co-owner Jackie You, hails
from Taiwan, but he is joining his family
who does business here in Dongguan in
industrial design and is hoping the gallery,
which is located in Guancheng District’s
Yunhe creative community will become
popular with the city’s modern interior designers.
“If these kinds of art pieces can match with their design, that is going
to be one of my concerns,” said You. The solid, industrial gallery
displays a fine collection of Latin-influenced mixed media paintings and
sculptures. Thinking that local taste is more knowledgeable about the
international art scene, the gallery feels it’s the right time to introduce
pieces such as Renaissance-style busts with exotic features and heavily
troweled colorscapes.
“It’s very challenging for us, too. It’s a big risk for us to buy these kinds of
sculptures as well, but we are willing to take that kind of risk,” said Jody
Zeng, marketing director for Dilio.

World Champs in DG
It’s one of top three most prestigious
international badminton competitions.
It matches the world’s top men and
women mixed teams, and it’s kicking
off in the Dongguan Basketball Center
in Liaobu from May 10 to 17. This is
the 14th Sudirman Cup, a biennial
tournament on par with the Thomas
and Uber Cups for Men and Women’s championships held on even years.
While North American and European teams will participate, badminton
has been dominated by Asian countries for decades. The cup itself is named
for Dick Sudirman, the Indonesian star and founder of that country’s
badminton association. China is a nine-time champion and is hosting
the event for the fourth time with teams from 35 countries arriving for
Badminton World Federation ranking points.
Without a qualification round, the 12 teams of Group 1, including China,
USA, Germany, Denmark and England will be divided into four subgroups based on BWF rankings. After the first round, the two winning
teams from each group will draw again for quarter final spots. The other
23 teams have come to play in an attempt to be promoted for the next
tournament.
Each round consists of five rounds, men and women’s singles, men and
women’s doubles and mixed doubles. Tickets will be available soon online at
damai.cn, or at China Post, Bank of Dongguan and China Mobile.
DG Sweeps PRC Tourney
Last month , the Pearl River Conference,
an athletic conference of international
schools from Guangzhou to Macau, held
their middle school, Division II Girl’s
Volleyball Tournament at Shenzhen’s
QSI Shekou. The eight-team tournament
included TLC, QSI and ISD from right
here in Dongguan.
All three, along with Shekou
International School (SIS), entered the
semi-finals competing for the coveted trophy. The first semi saw TLC’s
Wolverines take on the QSI Dongguan Tritons in a hotly contested three
set match. Charlotte Soler’s serving helped The Wolverines prevail, opening
an opportunity to play for the Championship and sending crosstown
rival QSI to the 3rd/4th place game. QSI Dongguan showed true grit and
competitive spirit rallying from the loss to beat SIS in two sets for third place
on the back of Sophie Boysen’s clutch serving and dominant net play.
In the second semi-final match the ISD Qilins quickly dispatched the
SIS Geckos behind the powerful serving of Grace Cai to set up the all
Dongguan finals between schools 17 kilometers apart. The ladies from both
teams displayed determination, teamwork and sportsmanship in a highly
competitive finals matchup before the Qilins prevailed in two sets for the
Championship.

In Brief
New Off-Road Trails Calling it the longest off-road
trail in Asia, Mission Hills, the largest golf club in the
world, opened 10 kilometers of mountain bike trails
in March. Trail sections traverse changing terrains
through forest and jungle along lakeside, stone,
gravel and slopes. Located on the club’s Shenzhen
side, the trails will require a minimal cross-country cyclist experience and
a membership fee of RMB 178 for a year of unlimited use. On March
22, a media conference announced that the trails will host the 2015
Landong China Mountain Bike Tournament, running from May to
November culminating in a RMB 800,000 purse.
Kids Car Racing On the third floor of Houjie’s
Rainbow Mall, a set of winding mini-car tracks
bedeck the walkway. On weekends, slot car
competitions attract dozens of children and parents.
Guided by a groove, or slot, in the track, these, now
powered, miniature autos date back a century with
casual get-togethers or more serious racing competitions. The shop, an
authorized Carrera dealer, opened last June and offers an alternative
entertainment for kids. “Many families only have one kid. With this
competition, everybody plays together, they get more excited,” said
store manager Chen Min. The winner from this and another shop in
Dongguan will attend the provincial competition in Guangzhou and
enter a national tournament in October.

40% Sell Fake Cigs A citizen taking personal health
into his own hands, has led to firm allegations of
fake cigarettes being sold in convenient stores, with
the biggest censure in news reports landing on the
reputation of Mei Yi Jia. Nancheng local man, Mr.
Yan, researched two cigarette brands, Huanghelou
and Da Chunghua, suspecting they were fake after buying them from Mei
Yi Jia. These unapproved cigarettes can be dangerously toxic. After not
finding a manufacturer website, online forums showed further evidence
that the brands were well-known fakes. Local news outlet, the Nanfang
Daily, followed up on Mr. Yan’s report with the Dongguan Tobacco Bureau,
providing research that showed 5 of the 13 convenient stores checked sold
them. A Guantai Road Mei Yi Jia store owner said “these cigarettes are
exported, very rare. Regular people don’t know about them.”

These six local brands sprouted up to make some

You know Nestlé. If you’re Swiss, it might make you homesick. You may not know Bojangles. If
you’re from the American South, it evokes a craving for biscuits. If you’re British, that makes little
sense at all; you’re thinking Cadbury Fingers instead. Here, in our bustling home, business leaders

about the enterprises that make the city unique, here are some local brands that are worth putting
on your to-know list.
NINE DRAGONS PAPER
YISHION CLOTHING
#WomenRule
#GoingNational
The papermaking giant has drawn considerable
amounts of attention in China’s media from
the likes of the Xinhua News Agency and the
South China Morning Post, because of its
chairman, Zhang Yin, who in 2006 became
the first woman to top “China’s Rich List,” a
Forbe’s style ranking by the Hurun Report.
She got her start working at the bottom rungs,
as a purchaser in Hong Kong for a mainland
paper company. In 1996, Zhang founded
Nine Dragons. The industry in Dongguan
is a competitive market, but Zhang says her
company will maintain growing profits from
areas like packaging. That’s thanks to China’s
ever increasing affinity for online shopping.
“Buying clothes? Go to Humen Town,” is
the golden rule for shoppers in Dongguan.
Humen is home to manufacturers of clothing.
And Yishion is one of the most well-known
brands. They specialize in casual clothing
and have gained a position in the youngsters’
market. While the factories in Dongguan have
dominated the manufacturing market, Yishion
is one of the few brands in Dongguan that has
their own design team. The company now also
has teams on brand management, product
development and sales, leading it to be known
for famous spokespersons including Chinese
actress Fan Bingbing, actor Han Geng and
South Korean actress Jun Ji-hyun.
COSMO LADY UNDERWEAR
CHINA EVERBRIGHT GROUP
#PantyRaid
#LocationLocationLocation
This brand is quite popular among young
Chinese girls. The story of its founder Zheng
Yaonan rising from a security guard to be
the owner of an underwear empire is quite
inspirational. Zheng first worked as a security
guard in a Wal-Mart in Shenzhen. But nothing
is impossible for a willing heart. Zhang
watched how the salespeople worked the
products and studied customers’ behavior at
Wal-Mart, which led him to open a small shop
selling cosmetics. Cosmo Lady underwear, as
a brand, did not have a big name when it first
came into being in Dongguan’s Fenggang Town
in 1998, but it has, since last year, been listed
on the Hong Kong exchange.
If you live in Dongguan, there’s a fifty-fifty
chance that you live in real estate developed
by this company. It owns residential gardens
including Guangda Garden, Kingview Spring,
Top of the World, and many others in the
central district of Dongguan and many spots
in Songshan Lake. This year the company
has started to pre-sell a nearly-built complex
near the Dongguan Exhibition International
Hotel. As the major local real estate brand, the
company enjoys a reputation for quality homes
in Dongguan.

Zhen Gong Fu
#KungFuAcademy
Specializing in steamed, Chinese fast food,
this restaurant is more or less like a KFC or
McDonald’s. But what’s rarely known is that
this giant started as a small shop in Chang’an.
In the year of 2010, Kung fu, already ranked
No. 1 on top the Chinese fast food list,
opened “Rice University.” The school offers
a systematic education and training for key
employees. The predecessor of the “university”
is a school of management that the company
founded in Dongguan back in 2003. In 2014,
the former president of the company, Cai
Dabiao, was sentenced to 14 years in prison
for illegal appropriations. The company is
currently headed by the brother of Cai’s wife,
who is reportedly the real mastermind behind
the company.
HE LIU SHAN
#HomeBody
Born 10 years before Zhen Kung fu, this local
brand, the one most foreigners call the “Swan
Restaurant” due to its red and white bird
logo, was once the older, wiser brother of the
Dongguan fast food chains. Without clear
positioning and specialization, it has been left
far behind by competing younger siblings.
Frank, an English teacher in Chang’an said he
only knew Kung Fu when it comes to Chinese
fast food brands. Hannah Salters, a teacher
in Dongcheng said she didn’t know the name
of this brand and hadn’t eaten there. She said
that the Chinese places she had eaten were
for dim sum and dumplings. Time might be
more difficult for He Liu Shan as the newer
chains emerged. The owner of He Liu Shan
has focused on expanding outside the city,
but you’ll rarely see the brand outside of
Dongguan, making it the most home loving.

One Day in central square
Have 16 hours of free
time? Follow these
easy, step-by-step
directions for a full
day of discovering
the better and lesser
known neighborhoods
of Dongguan.
Breakfast Up
The Day’s Event
Start the day at Ally’s Café, which opens
at 8 a.m., for friendly service, free wi-fi and
that all important cup of joe, or keep it
mellow with a range of juices, toasties and
cakes to kick off the day just right.
With a full belly, a choice lies before you. Those of you inclined to relax with a good book
can make your way to Dongguan Library. Not just tomes of black and white, the ground
floor often showcases area interests, like last month’s installations of local artists, or the
soon to come tea culture exhibit. Upstairs on the fourth floor you’ll find a haven of foreign
language books; a perfect peaceful getaway with stories for all ages.
The Early Spot
If you’re looking for a little more action you can make the trek across the square to the
Science and Technology Museum where RMB 25 will secure entry. All manner of displays
and interactive games await, and afterwards catch a movie in the fantastic Dome IMAX
cinema. For kids, why not join a Saturday science class in one of the museum classrooms?
After breaking your fast it’s time to make
your way across Hongfu Road over to the
Dongguan Exhibition Center. After the
free entry, three floors of culture and history
will walk you through Dongguan’s rise
from its humble beginnings as a producer
of cattail grass to the manufacturing
powerhouse it is today. Most displays are in
English but you might need your Chinese
speaking friend along to get the whole story.
Lunch Break
Now off to find a sit down and discuss all
of that history over a bite to eat. Lakeview
Restaurant is just the place with a table
inside, or out on the terrace. Great Western
food options in a stylish setting are just
what you need to recharge and prepare
for the afternoon. Hearty steaks and spicy
curries are the order of the day as well as a
selection of more traditional dishes. Make
plenty of time to settle yourself in as the
serving staff can be a little sluggish at times.
Dinner Bells
Night Owls
You’ve really done well to pack so
much into one day; you’ve earned
yourself a treat. And that’s just what
you’ll get at the genuine Xinjiang
restaurant Yili Zhichun. Walking
behind the library parallel to Hongfu
Road you’ll cross Shizhu Road
and head down Chaoyang Road
and Yili Zhichun will be waiting
on your right. This restaurant
offers delicious northwest Chinese
cuisine in a wonderfully authentic
atmosphere. Lamb is the meat of
choice with a variety of traditional
bread and vegetable dishes alongside.
Incredibly popular, it might be best
to book a table ahead of time to
make sure you don’t miss out.
With a full day of exploring behind you
it may just be the perfect time to sit back
and take in a show. You’ll find the Yulan
Theater waiting for you on the corner of
Central Square where a selection of some
of the best international performances of
dance, music and theater can be enjoyed.
These concerts are timetabled so you’ll
need to plan ahead to catch the show
that’s just right for you. Everything you
and your Chinese speaking friend need
can be found on their website at www.
dgyldjy.com. Tickets can run from RMB
30 to RMB 300 depending on how close
to the action you want to be. Then it’s off
for a night cap or a bar crawl at the Xiba

Old Time
Monopoly
by Tracy Lu
How Dongguan’s Co-Ops Survived the Fall
A photograph taken in the 1980s from behind the famed West Gate, in it we can see the size of the Dongguan Co-op’s headquarters, one of the city’s tallest
buildings during the era, displaying in red characters, “Supply and Marketing Co-op Building” for all to see.
hroughout the first three
decades of the PRC, a centrally
controlled economy was applied
to the country. China was
underdeveloped and closed to
the world. No private and foreign businesses
were allowed. The country became the only
monopoly and was in charge of the distribution
of all the resources. Everybody, for the most
part, ate the same amount of food, wore the
same clothes and used the same products.
In vast rural areas, supply and marketing
cooperatives were set up to supply everything
farmers needed, such as fertilizer, pesticide and
daily necessities, and bought everything they
produced.
Entering the 1980s, as the market opened and
capitalism thrived with China’s characteristics,
the cooperatives no longer monopolized
the rural market and faded from the public
thought. The ones that couldn’t adapt to
the new market and the new rules of doing
business were closed. Others with the vision to
invest in new business plans have thrived with
significantly growing sales figures.
The Rise
The elders of remote areas are still familiar with
the crisp sound of the bell that indicated the

arrival of a co-op representative. At the sound,
villagers gathered at the front of the village
carrying what agricultural products they could
to exchange for daily necessities. The co-op

sometimes a broken wok or plough to recycle.
as a county belonged to Huiyang District,
a short-term administrative district which
included Huizhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan,
Shanwei and Heyuan). The initial funds for
the co-op were gathered from farmers; 1 yuan
per family member was pooled and added to
a government subsidy. A few decades later the
co-op would look much different.
During the first decade of Dongguan’s co-op,
goods and materials were in extreme shortage.
Without any other suppliers, residents of

witnessed and operated the grand opening in
1987 of its 11-story building. It was home to
a shopping center on the 1st and 2nd floors and
a hotel with a restaurant from the 4th to 10th.

remote villages relied on the cooperatives to
supply everything they needed. It wasn’t until
the 60’s that co-op branches were opened in
each village to serve demand.
In 1950, the first rural cooperative was
founded in Dalingshan Town, followed
by the establishment of the

skyscraper in Dongguan at the time. The coop’s office took up only the third floor.
The opening ceremony, according to Yan,
was a sensation across the country due to a
national commodity trade fair created for the
event. It attracted 670 representatives of 303
cooperatives from 22 provinces and cities.
“All rooms at downtown hotels were booked
for us,” Yan beamed. “It was pretty rare for an
inferior city to organize such a fair.”
The 10 lines of 40-meter-long firecrackers
dangling from the top of the building all the
way to the ground, plus the 10 lions that
swung under each, made for an incredible
scene. “How can we ignite all the firecrackers at
the same time?” Yan asked himself. “In the end
we borrowed ten walkie-talkies from the Public
Security Bureau, the only place with this kind
of equipment.”
After decades of accumulating resources,
wealth and reputation, the cooperatives had
reached a peak, able to build an 11-story
headquarters with its name atop, however,
the surface affluence didn’t fix profound,
underlying problems. Soon, entering the
1990s, its success abated.
The Decline, the Vision
As the Reform and Open-Up policy, China’s
economic reform, charged into fruition,
private, foreign and shareholding businesses
began to flourish. Many exclusive businesses
and state-owned enterprises were opened to the
public. Competition and foreign investment
grew, business did better and became more
flexible. Consumers never before had so
much choice, they didn’t have to buy and sell
products through the co-op. The organization
faced unprecedented difficulties, but for some,
it was an opportunity.
The lack of market vision for some leaders led
to the decline or end of cooperatives. When the
targets and rules changed, some didn’t see or
invest in their potential for business. Instead,
they maintained old businesses styles even
when they stopped profiting. In the old times,
the government would pay for the loss, but
times had changed.
All affiliated companies and basic level
cooperatives need to take responsibility for
their own losses. “For example, before we
would store 50,000 tons of fertilizer, now only
a few hundred tons are enough,” explained
Yan. “There are many ways to serve people, you
can sell clothes. But some people just couldn’t
think of it.”
In the old times, the
government would pay
for the loss, but times
had changed.
Although most closed their doors, new
businesses were set up as co-op branches
seized the moment with logistic and storefront
infrastructure waiting for a next move. For
example, one turned out to be a pioneer in
the pawn and auction business. There was
no competition for such a business, they had
all been wiped out in 1949 by a centralized
economy.
In 1992, Yan submitted a detailed proposal to
the government about opening Dongguan’s
first auction house, and explained how it was
practical to open pawn shops at the same time.
The proposal beat out another two agencies to
win the license.
This shop, opened by the co-op in the 1980s, sold daily
necessities. In rural areas before the 1990s, shops like
these were the only place to supplies.
When the economy moved toward a more open market
and private business grew, many co-ops like this 1990s
hardware store closed their doors for good.
“Only the market economy will generate this
kind of business,” Yan said. “Dongguan was
full of smugglers in the 90s, and they liked to
gamble. When they lost money, they sold their
motorcycles to our pawnshop and invested in
some new products to smuggle.” In 1995, the
transition of the auction houses and pawnshops
exceeded RMB 715 million. The co-op was in
lead of the market for almost ten years before
individuals could easily get a license to open
the same business.
Nowadays, the cooperatives have lost some
advantages in dominating the circulation of
goods in rural areas, but it’s making the best
profit in its history as before it did business in a
planned way with many limitations. After over
two decades of reform, the co-op has set up five
affiliated companies in areas such as recycling
resources, local specialties and butchery. The
30 township cooperatives have their own
diversified investments in home appliances, gas
stations, shopping malls and so on. In 2013,
the co-op realized over RMB 51 million of
revenue, up 15 percent than last year.

PRINCIPALS
MATTER
WHAT OUR SCHOOL
LEADERS REALLY
THINK
by Laura Limowa
I was a rebel. Getting sent to the
principal’s office, while terrifying to
some, was just another day in school
for me. Through experience, I was
numbed to the horror of standing on the
opposite side of the principal’s desk
while being called every name under
the sun.
Where I grew up, it was normal, to
be shouted at, or even beaten when
students did anything wrong. Gone are
those days when principals were the
bane of every teenager’s existence and
everyone shuddered with fear at the
very whisper of the evil one’s name.
These days, our children are very
lucky. We live in a tight international
community, and everyone knows that
our international schools thrive on
exorbitant tuition rates. As a result,
parents expect their children to be
nurtured in a strong, effective way,
while at the same time being treated
like little prince and princesses.
The job has evolved over the years,
and being a leader requires principals
to build trusting relationships with
their faculty, staff, students, parents,
and other pertinent members of the
community. It is no easy task, and
here we present to you the brave souls
who carry this huge responsibility of
educating our children, here, in and
around dynamic Dongguan.
They did what ?!?!

and women behind THE desk. Can

Hina Patel
EtonHouse International School
The pageant girl
With a smile that can light up any room,
Hina emits an aura of warmth and
friendliness. She is young, but has no
problem commanding the respect of
her staff and faculty. While she has a
strong mind of her own, she listens and
accepts their opinions. “Happy staff,
happy school!” Hina says. “I am also
very hands-on. I go around the entire
school, sit in on classes and interact
with the students on a daily basis.”
Hina has known since youth that
she wanted to be a teacher. She
specialized in early childhood
education, and post graduation, her
teaching posts were paired with
advisory roles. She taught in England
for a while, and on a holiday to Bolivia,
she encountered under-privileged
children. That was her ‘ah-ha’ moment.
She applied for an international job,
got hired by EtonHouse International
School, and within four years,
assumed the role of principal.
Her biggest inspiration and influence
was her father, who was also her
mentor. “He was the one who taught me
about the value of education. He would
make me watch documentaries and
read national geographic, and collect the
weekly Tree of Knowledge series. He
was a really good man and really about
making the world a better place.”
When asked if being a principal has
changed her (besides the title adding 10
years to her age), she smiles. “I know
that every decision and choice I make
in everyday life reflects on the school,
and I want to inspire people. I believe
we can change the world through
education, and by providing a safe,
stable and happy learning environment.
We encourage children to be the best
that they can be.”
When not working, Hina likes to
immerse herself in nature, and indulge
in her love of photography. She loves to
dance, is a social butterfly with a large
network of friends who love her, and
believes in enjoying every moment.
She is also quite the artist. “Once, I

Golden words of advice for parents

child, “Be a good key role model. It is
our duty to educate children to be
responsible and caring citizens of the
future, and to inspire them to achieve
wonderful things.”

While he loves

The Poster Boy
If you met Luke on the streets, it
would be hard to believe that he is the
principal of one of the top international
schools we have. Blessed with youth
and good looks, Luke, a first-time
principal, leads his crew with ease,
by listening and valuing their opinions
and input.
After a few years of teaching in
Canada, he wanted a different
experience, and so he went to work
in QSI Chongqing for two years, before
moving to QSI Dongguan. He has been
here for six years, holding the role of
vice-principal the last three before
recently assuming the role of principal.
While he loves his new role, he misses
teaching and interacting directly
with the children. “Having to deal

with parents on a larger scale is a
challenge, but I always listen, respect
and try to get them involved as much
as possible. My door is always open,
and parents are always welcome to
come talk things out with me.”
When asked if it gets lonely at the
top, Luke says “I do not think of
myself as being at the top, but more
of a problem-solver. Being from the
QSI group, there is a large network
of QSI directors across China and
so it is easy for me to reach out for
networking and advice.”
His love for children shines through
when talking affectionately about
one particular experience. “I was
coaching a 9-year-old girl with her
homework and was in the middle of
explaining it. Unknowingly, she had
been distracted by my very hairy
forearms and could not resist the
urge to touch.” As Luke glanced down
to meet the daydreaming eyes of the
young student, he felt being in that
moment when her focus snapped
back to the material world was a rare
connection with childhood curiosity.
“Her expression was priceless.”
On the weekends, Luke spends time
with his family and hangs out with
his friends. He also likes to explore
the old parts of Dongguan, play
basketball and tennis.
Golden words of advice he would give
to parents: “Be real about who your
kids are. Know what they are capable
of, and listen to them.”

Joshua Charles Kempf
TLC International School
The Golden Boy
Chinese people think Josh looks like
David Beckham, and he embraces that,
even though he does not think so.
With an air of confidence about him,
Josh leads his school in a collaborative
way. He believes in everyone putting
their egos aside, and working together.
A perfectionist, Josh likes to handle
things looking at the big picture, but
at the same time work on the small
details. “A crooked painting annoys me,”
says Josh, “I may have OCD!” He laughs.
After graduating from business management school, Josh taught P.E. in an
all-boys school in Tennessee. And when
his parents started TLC 10 years ago in
Dongguan, he saw an opportunity, and
grabbed it. After a year of teaching at
TLC, he found his passion for teaching,
and did his masters in teaching online.
Following that, he held the role of viceprincipal for a year, principal for two,
and is currently the chief administrator
of TLC International School.
Josh’s face lights up when talking
about his predecessor. “Before me, my
mom, Ms. Jamie Kempf led the school
with grace and love. She set the tone
and precedence in establishing that, a
school is just there to support families,
and ultimately, the responsibility of
bringing up a child belongs to his
parents. We are just there to help and
guide them along the way.”
Ask if he had to make any compromises
since he took over as principal, Josh
says, “My priorities have changed. There
is definitely a lot more responsibility,
and it can be a 24/7 job because there
are just so many areas to take care of.
But all in all, it has been a blessing.”
“Jesus Christ is my ultimate mentor.
He has shaped my view of education.”
Josh is passionate about his faith and
on weekends, he serves at church and
Haven of Hope, a charity set up by his
wife. He can also be seen hanging out
at the malls. “I love to shop!” He says
unapologetically.
His students adore him. “There was
once, the kids covered my entire office
with paper, and on it, were 100 reasons
“… the responsibility
of bringing up a child
belongs to his parents.
We are just there to
help and guide them
along the way.”
why they love school!” However, he did
not always want to be a teacher.
When he was a kid, Josh wanted to be
a fire-fighter or a singer. And he was
not always good. When he was in college, he, along with a few other friends
pushed a giant trash can against the
door so that when their (very unlucky)
friend opened the door, tons of water
would spill all over him!
Golden words of advice for parents:
“Do not over-focus on one area of your
child’s life. Focus on a good balance of
mind, spirit and well-being. Also, know
your child’s learning style, and make
sure their educators do as well.”

The father figure
Michael is a father, and ISD is his baby.
He is the man who grew the school
from nothing into what it is today.
He is a force to be reckoned with—
strong, capable—but at the same time
approachable and attentive. He believes
in empowering the people he leads,
and building their capacity so he isn’t

world. Over the years, he went from
teaching Math and Science, to holding
more administrative and consultancy
roles in countries like Uganda and
Saudi Arabia, before assuming the role
of director for ISD Dongguan.
Being a director has validated
Michael’s understanding that he
can make a difference, and the
importance of looking and handling
things on multiple levels. “Watching
an organization grow is like watching
a dynamic living thing grow. It is
amazing. I have the best job in the
world.” Michael beams with pride.
“Nature versus nurture? We are
endowed genetically with natural
tendencies, but with the right
nurturing, we are capable of doing
anything, and sometimes even
overcome some of nature’s seeming
impediments.”
On the weekends, Michael still works,
and when he’s not, he stays home to
watch TV, Skype with his family, and
enjoy his solitude.
The young Michael, full of hopes
and dreams, wanted to be a marine
biologist, or rescue African animals. He
was big into exploration.
He was also the guy you loved to hate,
one of those people who could party
all night before a big exam and still
ace it. “In College, I skipped 95 percent
of my Zoology classes, because it
was always pub night before. Despite
skipping classes, I still managed to
top the class.”
With his wealth of experience, Michael
shares an interesting encounter.
“Africans practice polygamy. Once,
when we had a parent-teacher
conference, a boy came with two
mothers. I did not know which mother
to direct my questions at.”
Affectionately called “Santa Claus”
by some kids, he indulges them. “In
my first year, the pre-kindergarten
children started a trend of flicking my
tie whenever I walked by. And so for a
whole year, my tie got flicked anytime I
walked by any of these little ones.”
Golden words of advice for parents:
“Love them, support them, but hold
them accountable for their actions. It is
ok to let them fail. Just as a baby turtle
needs to develop particular muscles to
break out of its shell, a child needs to
be taught to deal with reality.”

Ann Belanger Chedore
Mensa Kindergarten
The head mistress
With support from her cane, pending
her hip replacement surgery, Ann props
herself up to greet me. Friendly and
accommodating, she proceeds to tell
me about her life story.
“I was a teacher in Canada for 35
years. After retiring from the New
Brunswick Canadian system, I went to
Beijing where I taught for two years,
before being promoted to the principal of the elementary there for three
years. Now, I am the principal of the
Western department for Mensa Kindergarten Dongguan part-time, and also
Concorde College in Guiyang part-time.”
Ann believes in leading her staff from
behind. “We have very good teachers
so I let them work as a team. I am not
afraid to make decisions, but being
observant and quiet, I listen and make
them after careful thought.”
While most of her peers her age are
retired, Ann refuses to do so. She
believes that she is still growing and
learning everyday. Especially since the
focus of a principal, more often than
not, becomes more business than
educational. She feels that there are always new challenges, and dealing with
these challenges keeps her cautious,
aware, and young.
Amidst cries and screams of children
in the background, I ask Ann if she
has ever lost her cool with any child.
She says, “When a child behaves in a
certain manner, he is trying to express
himself. When that happens, we as
educators need to remember that it
is not personal, and with that in mind,
you will not lose your cool with the
child.” And how does she communicate
and engage with their mainly Chinese
student body? “Through a translator,
and a lot of mime!” She laughs.
Ann does not get out much during the
weekends. She stays home to knit soft
toys, socks and hats to give away.
She loves traveling to exciting parts
of the world and experience different
cultures, her favorite being the panda
reserve in Chengdu.
Trying to control her emotions, she
tells me about a turning point in her
life. “When I was in grade 3, my parents
were very busy, and they sent me to
a boarding school. It was all in French,
and totally foreign to me. I did not
do well that year. Following that, my
parents switched me to a regular day
school, but I did not work very hard
and actually failed that year. Looking
back, I think the trauma of being sent
away to a boarding school and learning
a totally new language really affected
me, so that when I had a little freedom,
I took advantage of that and become
rebellious. But thankfully, at that
point, my parents realized what was
going on, took measures and I turned
around.”
Golden words of advice she has for
parents, “Have boundaries with your
children but at the same time allow
them to experiment. Give them lots of
opportunities to learn, not just with
books, but life-learning.”
“Looking back, I think
the trauma of being
sent away to a boarding
school and learning a
totally new language
really affected me …”

Michael Kingston Wylie
Utahloy International School Zengcheng
The Zen master
Michael has a militant, no-nonsense
air about him. He is probably the
closest to the stereotype of an oldschool principal.
After three years, he felt like a new
adventure, and ended up in Utahloy,
where he has been head of school for
the past four years.
He believes that running a school
is very much about building teams
and collaboration between students,
teachers and parents, and it is important to provide a vision so people
have a collective dream that leads to
good judgment.
“Within the school environment, I need
to make sure that I manage people
with good judgment and fairness, so
if I seem to be friendly with particular
groups in the community, then people
would think that I’ve got favorites. So,
I have to be a little distant, and in that
respect, it can get a little lonely. But, I
still have a close network of friends I
share holidays and experiences with.”
His first five years of teaching, were
in a fairly poor school in Melbourne
with lots of immigrants coming from
Vietnam, right after the war. There
were also lots of other refugees from
all nationalities. That experience made
him want an international job, and he
got a post in Vanuatu in an agricultural
college for local indigenous children
on the South Pacific island. Since then,
he has worked in France, Venezuela,
Melbourne, Australia and in Nice, in
the south of France where he was the
director of the international school.
“So, I have to be a
little distant, and in
that respect, it can
get a little lonely.”

HERE! DONGGUAN » April 2015
The boarding school often has sporting
events on the weekends, and Michael
will always be there. But when he has
time off, he likes to go cycling around
Luo Fu Mountain, next to the school. “I
live a very balanced life. I get disappointed, but I don’t get angry. Anger is
not a healthy reaction, and by doing
good exercise, like running and yoga,
you don’t experience anger.” Namaste.
It is not hard to imagine. Michael
comes from a very strict school in
Australia, where it was a rule to
wear a coat and tie and be properly
dressed. Regardless of the weather,
they were not allowed to remove the
uniform, to or from school. One day, it
got very hot and Michael decided to
take his jacket off on the way home

from school. He got caned with a stick
the very next day.
Ask about culture shock in China, and
Michael shares an encounter. “I had
trouble understanding what a local
was saying in Mandarin, so what they
started doing was speaking in Cantonese. When I still could not understand,
they started writing in Chinese characters. Till today, I do not know what the
message was!”
Golden words of advice for parents:
“Enjoy being a parent. Cherish those
years because children grow up so
quickly. Teach your children to explore
and not be frightened of getting their
hands dirty. Do not put your children
in cotton wool and be over-protective.
Have confidence in them.”
The Shi Fu
Alex comes across as a very humble
person. Quiet and observant, he speaks
slowly with careful thought. “My first
administrator role was in Xi’An Middle
School, as its vice principal. I stayed
there for 11 years. In 2004, Hanlin
Experimental School opened and I was
asked to be the principal of the junior
high school. After a few years, I am
now the Principal of the whole international department, which is a new
department, so I am the pioneer.”
When Alex first started as a principal
of Hanlin, he had the burden of marketing and selling the school as a private
school offering an international education. But it worked out well. “All parents
who send their children here are not
like other common parents. Their goal
is to prepare their children to live
abroad someday. They think differently
and focus more on character building
and composure.”
Alex believes that children are like
blank pieces of paper, and we can easily draw on them. Through education,
the right environment and teachers’
influences, undesirable character traits
can be changed. Hanlin is a boarding
school and children spend five days
out of a week there, so good character
Alex Hu
Hanlin Experimental School
can really be enforced and drilled into
the students.
Alex did not start out aspiring to be an
educator. “We were from the village
and were very poor. All I ever wanted
to do was change my family’s financial
situation and give them a better life.

scores, I was assigned to a teacher’s
training college, and that was that. At

Fun for Alex is very different from
what fun is to kids these days. He was
fearless as a child. Turning a deaf ear
to repeated warnings, he would lead
his friends to go explore the caves in
He Yang. The caves supposedly housed
toxic substances and had dangerous
overhanging formations that could collapse at any time.
These days, Alex hangs out at Tong

enjoying the scenery and fresh air. He
also spends time helping his wife with
household chores and shopping.

a very poor village. So poor, some children do not have the means to get an
education. We would organize students
to go spend two weeks living with

our children of how privileged they
are.”

Joan Qiu
Canadian International Kindergarten
The joker in disguise
Since graduating from university 20
years ago, Joan has always been in
early childhood education, teaching
at a government kindergarten in
Guangzhou for seven years, before
partnering with a friend to open their
own kindergarten. 10 years later, she
got head-hunted and employed by
Canadian International School and has
been its head of school ever since.
“Everyone has their strengths and
weaknesses. As a leader, I learn
everyday to accept both the good
and the bad. I feel I have grown
more gracious as I work with the
shortcomings of others,” says Joan. “As
a principal, I have to stand taller and
look further than everyone else.”
“We provide the best of both
worlds,” Explains Joan. “Our school

in the morning, and an all-Chinese
environment in the afternoon. Chinese
parents want their children to be
exposed to Western education and
vice-versa. So regardless of whether
the child goes on to study in an
international, or Chinese primary
school upon graduating from us, it will
be a smooth transition for them.”
Joan believes strongly, that
acceptance is the best form of love
you can give to a child. Every parent
has their own expectations and
ideas of what is best for their child,
but the child’s character may not be
a good fit with those expectations,
and then both parents and child get
discouraged. However, if you accept
and love a child for who he is, and
work with him, while understanding
his capabilities and limitations, the
child can reach his full potential.
She lights up and a wave of
excitement takes over as she tells
me about her childhood. “I was very
playful. I was 15 and in an all-girls
boarding school. Across the street
was an all-boys school. There was a
3-meter-high wall between us.
“We waited till everyone was asleep,
and a few of us climbed the wall to
escape to meet up with the boys from
across the street. We took a train to
Jin Sha Bay, with our teachers from
both sides chasing our tails all the

way. We were caught and hauled
back,” Joan giggles, and for a moment,
that 15-year-old girl had appeared
right before me. “Although it was not
a successful escape, the journey itself
was exhilarating.”
Golden words of advice for parents:
“Your attitude is very important. If a
parent is not happy, it is impossible to
bring up a ‘sunshine’ child. As parents,
we need to set a good example. Kids
imitate their parents’ behavior, so if
you want a well-mannered child, it
starts with you.”

When you first meet her, Joan may
come across as shy. She smiles
sweetly and apologizes for her lack of
English, speaking so softly it is barely
audible. However, as we all know, first
impressions are not always right.

Dalang 大朗
by Roy Ruan
This scenic view from Dalang’s Shixia Village overlooks Xiancun Lake, a point of pride for locals. Litchi, the small, but
powerfully sweet fruit is a pillar of the area’s agriculure trade, and can be picked by tourists annually for a few dozen RMB.
HISTORY
Dalang was first spotted on the map
as a central part of a county more than
1,600 years ago. It had been a political,
economic and cultural center for 200
years at its time. About its name origins,
there was a kind of grass that was widely
grown named lang grass, so locals named
their land Dalang, or big grass. Over
time, people began to use a simplified
“lang” instead of the original one, which
is what its name looks like today.
TODAY
Dalang is located in the south of
Dongguan, east of Songshan Lake and
north of Shenzhen. Today, the cardigan
you are wearing now is probably made
here. Dalang is heavily invested in the
knitting industry. It has over 3,000
knitting factories and a fully developed
network covering all the parts involved
from research and design to the
training of workers. Most of its sweaters
are exported overseas, and it even has
its own Dalang International Woolen
Knitwear Fair every year. Knitting has
become Dalang’s prime industry and
it has won fame as China’s Cardigan
Town. Dalang has also made leaps in
the IT and manufacturing industries;
its economy is among the leaders in
Dongguan.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Aside from the sweaters you might
be wearing on the street, Dalang
is a town of basketball. It’s not an
36
HERE! DONGGUAN » April 2015
exaggeration to say people are avid
fans of the game. Every village has its
own basketball team, and some even
support two. Dalang’s men basketball
team has claimed seven consecutive
championship titles from the Dongguan
Basketball League. It’s also home to
another CBA basketball team, the
Dongguan New Century Leopards.
We all know Dongguan is a basketball
city, but where can we really feel its
heartbeat? Now you may know where
to go.
In Caibian Village, there is a very
beautiful temple named Fu De Tang, or
Bliss Merit Hall. The temple was once
a dump site behind an ancestral hall.
Then the villagers decided to turn it
into a place for the elderly to relax and
pass the time. Completed in 2006, the
temple is an intricately crafted two-story
construction. It resembles the classic
Lingnan architectural style in which
you can see stone carvings, the frequent
usage of grey bricks and colorful roof
tiles.
On the first floor, it has facilities for
older villagers to enjoy. It’s even cooler
on the second floor, where there is a
folk life museum. Although there is
nothing ancient, the room exhibits
folk artifacts from the last century,
especially the ones from old time
farming, reviving the techniques used by
their ancestors to live and work. With
a first step into the museum, you’ll find
quite a feeling of time reversal. The
temple is clean, tranquil and appealing.
It’s a good choice for a weekend trip.
If you are looking for something
ancient, Dajing Tou Village will be your
pick. A cluster of ancient buildings
dating from the Ming Dynasty are
well preserved in accordance with
their original look. Among them are
13 houses, a school, and an ancestral
hall. When overlooked from the sky,
the outline of the cluster actually takes
the shape of a crab, with two 800-yearold wells resembling two big eyes.
It’s believed to have been designed
according to Fengshui principles.
Talking a stroll at a place from 600 years
ago could be something different.
Dalang has another big thing to its
name. Joining the U.K., U.S. and Japan,
China is building its first Spallation
Neutron Source research center here.
Once it is completed in 2018, Dalang
will have China’s largest scientific device.
It’s a shame, but it won’t be open as a
tourist attraction.
GETTING THERE
Dalang is convenient to reach. There
are buses to Dalang from the three
main bus stations. Bus L4, which
goes through downtown, can take
you there, too. The journey time will
be about two hours.
If taking a taxi there, you only have
to spend 45 minutes and about
RMB 80.
This image of Dalang’s newly completed Songfu
Road was taken in January of 2008 showing the
progress in towns throughout Dongguan.

BUSINESS
by Steven Elsinga
The Keeper of the Chop
We all need a little
help sometimes.
This month the
professionals at Dezan
Shira & Associates
share advice on
delegating in your
China business.
n any business, one person delegates
power to another to look after his/her
interest. But how to ensure the latter
doesn’t abuse this power for his/her
own benefit is a classic dilemma known as the
agency problem. It is as pressing an issue in
China as in any other country, but Chinese laws
and practices deal with this problem differently
than most. For the foreign investor, this brings
along a number of issues to be aware of.
Company Seals or “Chops”
In most countries, individuals can bind the
company they are working for if they are
authorized by its board to do so. Those actions
done with the apparent approval of the board
may be seen as the company’s actions. The
decisive factor is what outward appearance
the company has created. If someone dealing
with the company could reasonably assume
an individual was authorized to
act on its behalf—based on the
appearance set by the company—
the company is bound.
• The company chop contains the company’s
full name in Chinese and functions as the
official signature of the company. Company
chops are used for all basic operations and can
cover almost all other chop functions except for
that of an invoice or customs chop.
• The finance chop is used for basic company
operations, as well as opening a bank account,
issuing checks, authenticating financial
documents (e.g. tax filings, compliance
documents, etc.). It is a compulsory chop.
• The contract chop is used exclusively for
signing and authenticating contracts.
• The invoice chop is used for issuing and
authenticating official invoices and fapiaos. It is
not a compulsory chop and can be replaced by
the finance chop.
Allocating Power in the Company
Legal representative
While it is always wise to carefully consider
how much power to delegate to different staff
members, there are several uniquely Chinese
considerations.
One of these is the position of legal
representative. Along with the person holding
the company chop, the legal representative
has full power to bind the company. He or she
must be the chairman of the board, executive
director or general manager of the company.
They are appointed when the company is
created, and his or her name is registered in the
articles of association, with the AIC and on the
company business license.
Changing the legal representative is a
tedious and lengthy process, which requires
changes of the articles of association and
amending the business license.
In the meantime, the legal
representative could still legally
bind the company. A recent
court case determined that the company’s
internal resolution appointing a new legal
representative takes precedence over the name
registered with the AIC, so any unauthorized
acts by the exiting legal representative can be
reversed.
Those actions done with the
apparent approval of the board may be
seen as the company’s actions.
The way the rule is phrased shows
that the outcome can only be decided
on a case-by-case basis. While somewhat
vague, this allows room for flexibility and
interpretation.
• The customs chop is used for customs
declarations on import/export goods (for
companies engaged in cross-border trading).
In China, a company is bound whenever a
contract or other document is affixed with
the company seal or chop. This is more
straightforward in the sense that one can
immediately tell whether a company has
approved the content of a document or
not. What makes it dangerous, however, is
that whoever holds the chops can bind the
company. On top of that, there is the risk of
forged chops.
It is not uncommon for individuals to have
their own chop as well. For example, the legal
representative can have a personal chop to be
affixed along with the company chop. Such a
personal chop can accompany or replace the
person’s signature. The company, finance and
legal representative chop (if present) need to
be recorded with the Public Security Bureau,
the Administration of Industry and Commerce
(AIC), and with the local bank.
Companies in China have different kinds of
chops for different purposes:
40
HERE! DONGGUAN » April 2015
However, reversing unauthorized acts of
the legal representative would likely require
intervention by the court system. If you are
faced with a legal representative gone rogue,
most of the damage will have already been
done by the time the court has pronounced its
ruling.
The legal representative is regarded as being
fully responsible for the acts of the company,
even if he or she did not authorize or approve
of them. In theory, they can be held personally liable for the debts of the
company. There have been instances where a foreign legal representative
has been detained or otherwise prevented from leaving China, because
the company was involved in a commercial dispute or was in arrears with
a tax payment.
For these reasons, it is advisable not to involve legal representative
too much in the daily operations of the company. While technically
possible, it is not advisable to have the general manager also be the
legal representative. Foreign investors may consider appointing a legal
representative that does not reside in China, whose signature is only
required two or three times a year, for example, the chairman of the
board.
General manager
The general manager is in charge of day-to-day operations. They can at
the same time be a director of the company, but this is not necessary. It
is a powerful position in the company, and foreign investors should take
care to appoint a trustworthy individual. Sadly, it is not uncommon in
China for a general manager to commit fraud, engage in self-dealing or
misappropriate company funds. There are several ways foreign investors
can protect themselves against misconduct by the general manager.
Don’t give the general manager unrestricted access to the company’s
chops. Set rules for the use of chops, such as requiring major decisions
to also bear the chop or signature of the director, supervisor or legal
representative. Investors can also hire a third party to act as custodian of
the company chops and seals.
Limit the powers of the general manager in the articles of association.
This could include capping the amount of money a general manager is
allowed to deal with. Investors may also set a fixed term for the position,
such as one year. At the end of the year the board needs to renew his or
her term. Due to China’s protective labor law, firing an employee can be
rather difficult.
Companies often try to let go of employees by mutual agreement,
because dismissing an employee unilaterally can be very difficult and
expensive. It is not unheard of that a foreign company wants to dismiss
a local general manager for misconduct, only to find itself blackmailed
into an astronomical severance payment because the general manager is
in control of the company chops and other essential documents.
Lastly, foreign investors may decide to engage an external party to
perform an internal audit on the Chinese subsidiary.
While delegating power always requires a degree of trust, there are a few
simple measures every foreign investor should consider to mitigate the
risks its Chinese subsidiary is exposed to.

By Stephen O. Roberts
Who Would Know
A Day in the Life
Adnan Yucel’s resume reads like an adolescent’s
diary, jumping from one place to another
seemingly every day. He is general manager
to Wanda’s new Vista Hotel, and it is as you’ll
learn chatting with the affable, laid-back leader,
the norm for hoteliers and their industry.
Though he will tell you that every day and
every guest is a new experience to be marked
up to practice, the foundation of Mr. Yucel’s
leadership style and seemingly natural
positioning in the service industry, is his family,
Azerbaijan heritage and training.
Born in 1970, he grew up in the Istanbul of
old, a place of Persian rugs, haggling and,
maybe surprisingly, drinking and dancing. “My
father ... he loved to enjoy his life,” said Yucel.
“One of the key points in Turkish culture is
that it’s a cheerful culture. People love to sing
and dance in original Turkey.”
And so this, he took from his father. To enjoy
life, allowing him to be a natural networker
who loves to go out, meet new, “not standard
stereotype people,” and engage in interesting
conversations. His mother taught him the
fine balance between a strong hand and a soft
touch. “She would let me find my way, but if it
is needed she would slap me once.”
And Yucel admits to deserving, as we all did,
some of those smacks of the head. He says he
was a tough, lost kid with too much energy.
Studying and boarding in the oldest Turkish
high school in the world, he worked hard
writing stories, poetry and editing a school
magazine, and on a few occasions charging
into fights over football matches and the
honor of lady classmates. But mother’s hand
straightened him out, while letting him
discover his own nature.
Adnan Yucel
But it was uncle, a man of Turkish-German
dual citizenship, that he imparting upon
him most of his business acumen. A man of
high energy as well, he ran the German half
of the Persian carpet trade, raced rally cars,
ran marathon’s and wrote what Yucel calls an
important book on the finer points of carpets.
It’s a combination that, when added to coming
up through international hotel brands and a
Turkish culture that puts man at the center
of the universe as God’s guest, has created a
natural leader in the hospitality business.
Benefit of Experience
Mr. Yucel’s first position in hospitality was his
longest held. Circa 1992 he started, still in
university, with Swiss Hotels, but spent only
his first three months at the job he was hired
for. He moved from concierge to reception
then spent a year as night manager in 1998.
From there he moved to front office at the
Golden Tulip Hotel and Casino. A year there,
another year as reservations manager, then he
was recruited by an old manager to his first
China position in Dalian.
He stayed there an entire year and change
before taking the next opportunity in Boston,
and the story goes on like this back through
Turkey, Saudi Arabia and landing finally
back in China, here in Dongguan. He said
he wanted to get back sooner, but in a 2006
interview, he was scared away by a “dark”
hotel owner that fired the hotel’s GM while

interviewing for a lesser position and offered
him the job. That was too turbulent even for
this ladder climber.
With round-the-world experience, Yucel talks
about living the life and paying dues to be truly
affective. “There are many guys with titles, but
empty. They’ve been promoted out of default.
But when they face difficulty they cannot solve
the problem.”
He advises that keeping staff in this time of
young Chinese professionals who are less
patient than ambitious is key to success in
China’s business world. “The people are the
difference,” he says. Talk to them. He discovers
valuable points for improvement from even
the most fresh of entrance -positioners. At the
same time, he says you will observe your staffs’
strengths and weaknesses. In this way, you’ll
have a good understanding when it is time to
move staff around or promote from within.
While empathy is his main advice to
Dongguan business leaders, lead by example is
the paddle to his canoe. That doesn’t mean do
and let them follow precedent. He means to
teach through parables of your own experience,
not through laying down rules and regulations.
He feels that his staff learns from his own
stories of troubles more, like the time two of his
own security guards stabbed each other right
in front of him, or the time
in Boston that he had the
manager of the Rolling
Stones handcuffed and
thrown out.

Japanese-Korean Town (Chang’An)
STARBUCKS
At the foot of the hulking Daling Mountain lays Chang’an,
a satellite city of Dongguan which negates much of the
sameness you see from town to town. It’s less perturbed by
construction along main thoroughfares, has preserved much
of its green space, and pound for pound, may cater to the
foreigner’s tastes even more than its parent urban core. But
Changsheng Xilu’s Japanese-Korean street, however earnest,
is rather unremarkable.
When I visit
a themed
commercial strip
like this, I want
to see something
beyond the
façade—a few
supermarkets,
a specialty item
store or some cultural artifact to impart that theme. So I
strolled up and down the street a few times, expectant, and
peering into each restaurant to see which might whet my
appetite. What it is, however, is a street like most any other,
which happens to have numerous restaurants of the same
persuasion. In the end, I literally flipped a coin to decide
which restaurant to try.
I crossed a tiny bridge to enter a place with a ChineseJapanese name, translated roughly as Our Home, and was
led to a small private room with recessed seating. Soon I
was munching on sushi, tofu and fried dumplings. Good
sushi is hard to find in Dongguan. Most spots are powered
by conveyor belts looping hour-old sushi like a worn out
Lady Gaga single. Our Home split the difference, serving up
flavorful cuts of salmon, but also rather bland, stringy tuna.
The freshness of Japanese food was all but absent, and most
of the flavor seemed to come from the sauces rather than the
ingredients or cooking method.
I really enjoy the overly-polite, soft-spoken uniformed
Japanese waitress whose hair is neatly tied back, gesturing
sparingly, and bowing slightly when addressing me. It’s
the difference between dining on Japanese cuisine and
eating food from Japan. Our Home’s staff was friendly and
courteous beyond belief. I would invite them to my birthday
party. But something about a waitress in a stonewash denim
jacket and T-shirt with nonsensical English scrawled across
it sucks away a lot of the authenticity from the shoji screen
doors and Buddha statues. Chang’an’s Japanese-Korean street
and its tenants could benefit a lot from attention to detail.

REVIEW
by Cez Krol
New Bar
Dalang’s Oldest
Last year saw a number of new bar openings in Dalang,
but that shouldn’t overshadow the township’s longest
standing hangout spot, New Bar. Located near area
landmarks, opposite the RT-Mart and 100 meters away from
McDonald’s, it is unlike most other similar venues in China.
It’s a place where you can drink and still talk with music
tuned to a background level, not deafening noise.
You can probably count all the permanent foreign residents
in Dalang on your fingers, and you have the best chance
of meeting them all in New Bar. Most of the clients will be
Chinese, usually still surprised to find a foreigner in such a
distance from downtown Dongguan. The cozy and relaxed
atmosphere, together with a few drinks, makes it easy to find
new friends.
Normally, people
arrive on their own
and in groups, but
leave together to
eat somewhere else.
Unfortunately, no
hot food apart from
French fries and
chicken wings is
served (probably due to licensing), so guests can concentrate
on getting hammered.
Prices are similar, but lower, to those found in Dongcheng.
Carlsberg draft is between 20 and 28 RMB (small and large
glasses), and a 3-liter barrel costs RMB 148. The selection of
foreign beers is priced between RMB 15 and 30. Cocktails
are either, RMB 25, 30 or 35, depending on the amount of
alcohol inside. The bar personnel is pretty open-handed with
giving free drinks, especially if you’re happy to share your
whereabouts on WeChat.
You won’t meet Marilyn Monroe, but you’ll see a lot of her.
The beautiful decor is centered on sexy, foreign actresses,
with a touch of classic European bar decoration. Their
friendly staff doesn’t speak English, but bosses from Hong
Kong do. And the girl behind the bar usually calls me to
come whenever a foreigner walks in, so it would be great to
meet any of you.

WHAT’S THE
DEAL WITH?
by Tracy Lu
Parking Tickets
The first concern for a new driver in China is rarely where
to park, but as car ownership increases, finding a legal spot
can be a headache. Especially, considering that there are
no meters, and signage can be vague. In urban areas, most
Chinese drivers know to park only in marked spots, however
tough to find.

Sometimes, areas that prohibit parking are marked by a
blue sign with a red ‘X.’ That doesn’t mean spots without
them are safe. As declared by the PRC law, no-parking zones
include areas cordoned off between roads and sidewalks, or
any street side pavement that is not marked for cars.
Parking is also not allowed in front of construction sites,
crosswalks, sharp curves or within 50 meters of streets,
bridges and tunnels less than four meters wide. Then there
are the regulations for within 30 meters of bus stops, first
aid stations, gas stations, fire hydrants or fire department
entrances. Don’t park there either.
Parking illegally is popular
in Dongguan, so much so
that it seems unregulated,
with tickets rarely found on
windshields. Meter maids,
though few, do exist to patrol
the city. These specially tasked
traffic police are called the
Mobile Squad, or jī dòng dà
duì. Officer Ye of Nancheng’s
traffic detachment claims,
“We patrol all areas, go to
different sections every day, on a different schedule daily.”
Parking fines can be as much as RMB 200 in Dongguan and
should be paid before the annual registration of the vehicle’s
license. Payment is a process of verifying the ticket with the
traffic department and paying within 15 days. Should you
miss these deadlines, a 2 percent fee will incur daily, up to
half.
For pedestrians and cyclers, cars on the sidewalk can be
problematic. To curb this issue, citizens can report illegal
parking in certain areas. The numbers aren’t easy to find.
The trick is to call a town or district’s traffic police to ask for
a complaint hotline. For Nancheng, call 2303-6122; call
2303-7122 in Dongcheng, and 8547-0331 in Chang’an.

There is a time to hold on to what’s dear to you,
and there is a time to adapt. We can do both with
a little homemade cooking.
ave you ever missed something
so intensely only to realize later
on that at some point in time
you’d suddenly stopped missing
it at all? Or generally found yourself doing
something you’d once thought would never
appeal to you, having totally missed the point
in which it first seemed like a good idea?
My last 5 years in China have brought some
moments like that, each of them quietly
changing life in their own way. They’re all
moments of cultural adaptation, and many of
them have had to do with giving up foods I
thought I’d never be able to live without only
to be pleased with the effects of their absence or
their reintegration in my diet later on.
I unexpectedly fell in love with Chinese
food when I came here. Though it’s not my
favorite cuisine, I have certainly developed a
deep appreciation. But, despite the culinary
adventures I embarked on every time I went
to a new kind of Chinese restaurant or tried
new things with local friends and colleagues, I
realized after a few months of living here how
many foods from home I was missing. Things
like plain yogurt, cheese and whole grain bread,
and it took a while to say goodbye to them.
At first, I refused to. I searched high and
low. I’d visit local supermarkets only to be
disappointed time after time with the oversweetened and over-processed imitations.
Desperately wanting to find the one brand of
yogurt sold in China that isn’t pre-sweetened,
I tried variety after variety. But, they were all
sweet, and some much more watery than I was
used to. In fact I found it bizarre that many
people drink yogurt with a straw. Cheese was
equally disappointing; just about the only
cheese I don’t like is processed cheese, but that’s
pretty much all you can find most places.
But the biggest disappointment has been
bread. I like thick, crusty, savory or sour whole
grain artisan bread in all kinds of flavors in
varieties, but I usually don’t bother with overprocessed sweetened bread unless I’m actually
eating sweets. I could find packages of “whole
wheat” square toast bread in bread and cake
shops, but they never tasted much different
from the similar-looking white toast bread.
And, for some reason that makes absolutely no
sense to me, toast bread here is often sold in
odd numbers of slices. Clearly, Chinese bread
makers do not appreciate the amazingness of
the sandwich.
Then I discovered import stores, and it was a
whole new world. I’d spend entire Saturday
afternoons traveling around the city hitting
up a store or two just so I could once again
savor some real cheese or tortillas. In fact,
once I became a bit burned out with Chinese
food, I constantly craved foods from home
and planned days off around shopping for and
making things like pesto pasta lasagna.
COOKING
TIPS
You can use most types of
breads for French Toast. My
favorite type to use is thick-cut
slices of oval bread loaves.
food items here than I ever would have back
home and for less quality or more generic
brands to boot.
Finally, I began to find a balance. I found
cheaper sources for my favorite imports
and came to terms with the fact that I’d just
have to give up some things or go broke. I
stopped eating bread, cheese and plain yogurt
altogether for a while, unless I dined at a
Western restaurant. I started to notice how
strange my body felt when I visited home
and ate those things again, no longer used to
digesting them. And finally, I learned to start
making them myself or finding ways to use the
products I could find in ways that I like.
My French toast recipe is a product of that, and
it’s a personal marker for how far I’ve come.
Having always been a big fan of breakfast
foods, I treat myself to Sunday morning French
toast every now and then. Eating it reminds
me of how much I used to love bread and how
little I miss it anymore. The best thing about
this recipe is that it uses that cheap, slightly
sweet, over-processed toast square bread you
can find everywhere,
with a Western
spin that you
definitely can’t
find unless you
make it yourself.
After a while, however, I started to realize
I wasn’t saving much money since I was
constantly spending much more on luxury
French Toast

Remember how to speak by saying things you shouldn’t.
While learning Mandarin, pay special attention to the retroflex finals. That’s the “r” sound at the
end of some words, a famed part of the Beijing accent. In parts of China even the local people
cannot pronounce them properly, but they are still very important. In some cases, if you misuse
them, you may make a fool of yourself. Check out these examples:
yǎn (眼 eye) yǎnr (眼儿 tiny hole)
tóu (头 head) tóur (头儿the leader; the beginning)
xìn (信 to believe) xìnr (信儿 message)
huà (画to draw) huàr (画儿 picture)

Mnemonic devices that work
In our daily lives, I always hear that when foreign
speakers try to say a complete sentence in Chinese,
they sometimes don’t know how to say each
word in the correct order. The following are some
sentence patterns and examples for you to follow.
The radical 囗, pronounced wéi, means country. Inside this big
frame, there is something very important or something of great
value. Characters with this radical have the meaning of surround
or around.
subj. + time + v.
wǒ xià wǔshàng kè.
我下午上课。
I have classes this afternoon.
wéi围—surround. 韦 pronounced wéi,it means being attacked
from both sides. The whole character originally means the city
isattacked by the enemies from all the directions. But right now
it only means surround.
subj. + time + v. + place
wǒ míngtiān qù Běijīng.
我明天去北京。
I will go to Beijing tomorrow.
guó国 - country. 玉 pronounced yù. It means “jade” and stands
for something of great value. The whole character means that a
country is a place that is vast and abundant.
subj. + time + 在 + place + v. + subj.
wǒ xiàwǔ sāndiǎn zài bàngōngshì děng nǐ
我下午三点在办公室等你。
I will wait for you at the office at 3p.m.

collected, but some friends or co-workers can pull off the cool hand in
any situation. Use this phrase to express a disbelief for this supernatural
strength to keep it together.
(Start ding with an even mid-low tone, gwo is even, but a little higher,

What is Arbor Day?
Arbor is a Latin word meaning ‘tree.’ It’s a
day where we plant and care for trees and
it is a day which is celebrated throughout
the world to raise awareness of trees and
the important role that they play in our
environment.
When is it celebrated?
Arbor Day is celebrated on different dates
around the world, depending on local
seasons and temperature. This is because
one of the main things to do on Arbor Day
is the planting of trees which is best done
at certain times of the year in different
countries. Arbor Day is usually in April or
during spring time.
Trees and Paper
Every day we use something that is
paper. Although paper can be made
from a variety of natural materials, it
is most often made from pulp that is
produced by grinding up trees. It takes

As local talent pools increase and companies
begin hiring management from their ranks,
working within and understanding cultural
divides becomes ever more critical. This month—
Flattery is a part of life, for some it is phony, for
others it’s just a part of life. Which are you?
ast month’s article generated
unprecedented feedback, and
also led to a number of questions
seeking clarification. The most
common responses, from both Chinese and
expats, were in regards to the issue of what
we might call insincere compliments—the
tendency of Chinese to tell you your Mandarin
or Cantonese is good the first time you say
anything in Chinese, or how beautiful your
country is, even though they have no way of
knowing whether
what they are saying
is true.
perhaps add an equally polite but meaningless,
“And what about you?”
For North Americans, this is normal, and
understood. Nobody considers it insincere. But
go to Europe, especially those countries where
English is not a first language, and you’ll find
many people who consider this an annoying
and insincere expression. “Why are you asking
me how I am, if you really don’t want to
know?” In their cultures, asking someone how
they are is indicative
of a sincere desire to
actually know how
that person is doing.
Another humorous
question in this category
was several expat men
asking me, “Why do
Chinese men always tell me
I’m handsome?”
Most Chinese
readers responded
with gratitude for
pointing this out, in
that they had been
unaware that this
was a problem, but
were unsure why
expats would respond so negatively to what
they intend as behavior to indicate friendship.
Many expats responded that this was one of
their pet peeves, and they could not understand
why Chinese so readily made such insincere
compliments.
Let’s illustrate the problem by taking it out of
Chinese culture, and putting it in a context
of North American culture. One of the most
common greetings in North America is
the ubiquitous, “How are you?” Of course,
this question generally indicates no interest
whatsoever in how you are; and they are not, in
fact, requesting a detailed exposition on your
current physical and emotional status. Unless
you are the most intimate of friends, you
should simply reply, “I’m fine, thanks!” And
You can simply look
at those Chinese
compliments as
being pretty much
the same thing. It
is the Chinese way
of saying hello,
and expressing
friendliness. It is not intended to have any
more authentic meaning than the North
American “How are you?” It should not be
interpreted as insincere, or as trying to ‘butter
you up.’

And that’s where the key difference lays.
Generally speaking, in Western culture, when
people comment on the appearance of a person
they’ve just met, it is indicative of flirting, of
some sort of physical or romantic attraction.
It’s not something that one uses as a generic
greeting.
In China, just like other kinds of compliments,
it generally has little real meaning at all. The
Chinese guy who tells a foreign man that he’s
handsome doesn’t really mean anything by it
at all, it’s just a way of greeting and showing
friendliness (and sorry guys, but a lot of the
Chinese girls who are telling you that you’re
handsome don’t really mean anything by it,
either!).
And how should you respond? By doing
pretty much the same thing, by giving polite
but meaningless compliments, such as, “Your
English is quite good, too” (even if it isn’t), or
“China is a beautiful country too.” You’ve now
completed the ritual, and can move on.
Another humorous question in this
category was several expat men asking
me, “Why do Chinese men always
tell me I’m handsome?” Most expat

men have probably experienced this, but
outside of the gay/bisexual community, it is not
common for men to say things like this to each
other. In fact, we generally don’t comment on
physical appearance at all, unless flirting.
