The president of the association's management board gave the welcome address. Towards the end you might feel as if you were at an election rally. He praised the Government saying that it has done a good job running the Country and making the street safe. He said that in the earlier days secret society gangsters roamed the streets in Chinatown.
The Guest was MP Alex Yam Ziming (国会议员任梓铭). In a short speech in Cantonese he said he came into being because of Cantonese opera. One day, 65 years ago, his grandfather went to see an opera show. He not only saw the opera, he also saw the girl that would later become Alex's grandmother. It was love at first sight. They got married and produced six children, one of which was Alex's father.
By the way, the MP came with his wife who is very pretty.
A gift for the opera teacher
