Through education, through the strength of family unity, and through respect for one another, we, the Chinese Canadians, have inherited a broad and firm foundation as good responsible citizens. I am proud, I am very happy, to be a Canadian.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sitting in her home, the walls covered with family pictures, Jean recalls, &#8220;The most important thing that my father left with me was his love for people, especially family. He used to say to me, &#8216;Jean, no matter what happens, always go to your family first. Your family is the most important thing. You may have friends, you may have people with other interests, but you&#8217;ll find that it is your family that counts.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even though the importance of family is a strong Chinese tradition, Jean believes that it does not matter about one&#8217;s background. To her, &#8220;a family is a family&#8221;. During all her years of community work, she remembers, &#8220;If I didn&#8217;t have the family behind me, I really couldn&#8217;t have done it. Because if your family isn&#8217;t with you, beside you always, you really can&#8217;t do anything. And if your family is strong, this will make our country strong too!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Excerpted from Spirit of the Dragon by Arlene Chan, published by Umbrella Press.
