Beijing Foreign Studies University Chinese Canadian Library Collection: Difference between revisions

}}

In Sept. 2013, a group of four Chinese Canadian writers visited Beijing Foreign Studies University to give a roundtable talk on their individual writing as well as Chinese Canadian literature in general. This meeting not only left a very pleasant impression on both sides but inspired a book donation project that soon involved dozens of writers and scholars on the other side of the Pacific. Initiated by Denise Chong, writer and former senior advisor to Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, this project was warmly embraced by Chinese Canadian authors such as Judy Fong Bates, Paul Yee, Anthony Chan, to name a few, and scholars interested in Chinese Canadian Studies such as John Price and Pat Parungao. The Canadian Studies program of the University of Toronto and several publishers including Random House also made generous contributions.
