| A New Profile, Unfold and Fresh Voice -an interviewing with Dr. Nathalie Xian Yi YAN Dr. Yan, her Chinese name in full as Yan Xian Yi, 燕宪仪, is sitting in a sofa chair in a corner next to the window facing street, being interviewed by HamiltonChinese.com and Chinese-Journal. It happened at the corner of a coffee table, Starbucks, at Locke's Str. Hamilton, Feb 01, at 5:30 pm. Nothing extraordinary, but her eyes shine with the passion of care and love for the city and its people with her politica arena. Her speaking was interrupted three or four times by cell-calls in one hour. She talks very quick, with her ideas which flow as she delivers her sentences with stops and stresses on every key words. "Hamilton, is even more historic than Toronto" she proudly told the reporter, a fact not many people known. She has a dream for the city. She has her plan for the city. She want to voice “A New Profile”, politically and economically. Born in a known family of Chinese Medicine, she is well read, and educated. She landed a decade ago as a biochemist, worked 12 years as a professional in Jiang Su province. Been living 9 years in the city, she faced what many immigrants, old and new, experienced in life. Through her hearty service and innate medical knowledge, her business turned out a quick success. She earns great popularity in the community. She knew the city well, and known, especially a couple of weeks after her registry for her second campaign to be elected as councilor of ward 6 in Hamilton. She sees her first campaige "exciting," "like a child asking permission from Mom to go swim in the sea, knows nothing or very little, but bravely enough jumped into" she recalls and puts it this way, with a cool and high volume laughing. She says her pervious campaign was nevertheless a victory: "All solid votes! There are more than 2,000 votes! For a One-Year-Old citizen?! That is the confidence of this time! The canvass I did was equal to a walking distance and time of trip to Toronto, 6 times''. ''I knocked my riding every door and spoke to each families, at least once with some had couple of times''. ''And I was financed only 5,500 dollars, compare with incumbent spent 60,000 dollars, what a stunning ". A continues in five years as the "citizen of the year" nominee, she challenges herself to join the fight again, "But now, you will see the difference. I hope my fellow citizens, and my constituents, regardless races, immigrants or not, and Chinese people and Chinese business communities to support me, to pool the funds, “I will listen to your voices, working on our issues". "'My Capacity plus Your Vision is Our Future, that is my slogan, A voice to be heard" I will expand my wisdom, to plan strategically, "Not think inside of the box, but see beyond, bring the possibilities of making Hamilton in a revival from Steel to Culture," "A real multi-culture land for home as we all call''. to be continued, 人物速写，双语报道 （ 特约） HamiltonChinese.com / ChineseJOurnal Johnlakshore, -Journalist, Sheridan Canadian Journalism |
