In China With Michelle Zou

We all know China has emerged to the second largest economy in the world during the past decades and Chinese are rich, however, some rural areas in China are still underdeveloped, and school children are studying in poor condition and hardship. In year 2000, a group of volunteers in Seattle started a charity China Tomorrow Education Foundation (CTEF) to help support schools and students in rural China to improve education, and Dennis Su, a retired architect living in Seattle, is the founder of that charity and is deeply involved in the operations since his retirement 20 years ago. In this interview, he shares with us his observations of the changes in rural China's education system and Chinese government’s support to those areas, and why he thinks there is still a need for help to the schools and children there.
