To any one who has tried to help me and given support Thankyou from the bottom of my heart..

    Liverpool's Chinese Community marks the anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China with a day of celebrations in Chinatown.

    Consul General Jianzhong-Gong from the Chinese Consulate in Manchester joined more than two hundred invited guests at the event at the China Palace on Berry Street marking the 58th anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic of China.


    The Chinese fan dance

    Celebrations, marking the birthday on October 1st, included traditional Chinese dancing, folk singing, a martial arts demonstration and plenty of delicious Chinese food.

    John Sung, Chairman of the Wah Sing Community Centre and co-ordinator for the day’s event said “Liverpool’s Chinese Community is privileged to play our part in the making of the success story of this city, and of the recent Chinese past.”

    Heritage

    Liverpool’s Chinese community is the oldest established Chinese community in Europe, and was established mid-nineteenth century largely thanks to trade links between Shanghai and the Merseyside port.


    The lion dance

    These trade links were formed after the East India Company lost its monopoly on trade with China and trade with the Far East opened up with the rest of the world. Many of the first Chinese immigrants to Liverpool arrived after the Blue Funnel Shipping Line established their steamer trade route between Liverpool and Shanghai.

    Barbara King is Liverpool’s International Relations manager; her family came to Liverpool from China in the early part of the twentieth century.Audio and Video links on this page require Realplayer

    “I’m very proud of my own heritage – I’m a quarter Chinese, my father is half Chinese and my grandfather worked on the Blue Funnel Shipping line. He came to Liverpool in the 1900s and decided to make Liverpool his home.


    Barbara and Alan King

    "My relations come from Guangzhou, which is Southern China, and so I do speak a little bit of Cantonese. Because of our links with Shanghai I have been attending night school over the last year and have been learning a little bit of Mandarin. It’s a very difficult language to learn, especially with a scouse accent!”

    The birthday date marks the anniversary of the day that Chairman Mao Zedong led the Communist party to victory over the Nationalist party following a bitter 20 year civil war. It was on the 1st October 1939 that Mao victoriously declared the birth of a ‘New China’.

    China is now the world’s most populous country with a head count in the region of 1.3 billion people – one fifth of the planet’s total population. It is the largest and fastest developing country in the world.

    Default Looking for ex colleague

    This is probably not the right place for this but I'm trying to locate Selina Newby (nee Chan) who I worked with for many years in the Education Department at Liverpool City Council. We lost touch about 7 year ago and I would like to re-establish contact. I'd be grateful for any help.

    Hi
    I'm new to this place but was looking for help. I'm a teacher at the New Christ the King Centre for Learning and as part of Yr 7 curriculum we're looking at Chinese folklore and new year. Does anyone know of any groups who visit schools with the Dragons or storytellers?
    Any help would be grately appreciated.

    Default Looking for other Chinese people...?

    Hi Guys, I was hoping for some help, basically I'm looking for some Chinese people to hang out with.

    I came to the UK when I was 9 (I'm now 27), and have had exclusively English friends, though on a recent trip back to China and after speaking only Chinese for 2 weeks I have had a strong urge to carry on with hanging out with Chinese people, playing some cards and Majon, drinking tea, etc. So does anyone know of any Chinese communities or societies? People from the main-land, Mandarin speakers?

    Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

    Thanks
    Charlie
