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).
