2021 Western Australia Guangdong Association Annual Summary
Visit to Western Australia Nursing Home in March
This year marks the eighth year since the founding president Mr. Qian Guiyuan led the Guangdong Association to visit and comfort the local nursing homes in Western Australia for the first time in 2014. After many contacts over the past eight years, the voices and smiles of the elderly have always remained in our hearts!
The 2021 visit was accompanied by the new generation of new forces of the Guangdong Association. Everyone present was deeply moved to feel that the fine tradition of spreading love among diverse cultures was being passed on to the future!
Respecting and loving the elderly is our responsibility
President Cai Jiayi, Executive Vice Presidents Liao Jianzhang and Yin Xiaojun, Secretary General Zhong Haohong and Director Wu Hang of the Guangdong Association of Western Australia led a 25-member consolation team of members and young new forces to visit the nursing home in Perth once a year. This activity can participate in the public welfare contribution to Australia as a Chinese in Australia, which is of great significance to increase the sense of identity and strengthen the sense of social responsibility of Chinese in Australia.
The Guangdong Association of Western Australia and consultant Master Liang Guangquan helped coordinate Xiangshan Media to donate a batch of toys and stationery to the local Redcliff Primary School. As one of the few local primary schools that provides Chinese and Chinese Kung Fu teaching, Redcliff Primary School fully reflects that Australia is a multicultural country. In order to better support the students of the school to learn and understand Chinese culture, a preliminary intention was reached with the principal, and the Guangdong Association established scholarships for the students.
The De Rucci Western Australia China Business Elite Golf Invitational, Charity Auction and Awards Dinner jointly organized by the Western Australia Guangdong General Chamber of Commerce and Xiangshan Media were a complete success

Cooking Contest Food Sharing Series
This year's Masters in the Civil Society was jointly organized by the Western Australia Chinese Catering Industry Association, the Western Australia Chinese Association and the Western Australia Guangdong Association and Chamber of Commerce, and hosted by Multi-Dimensional Media and Xiangshan Media. Twelve overseas Chinese groups in Western Australia sent representative teams to participate in the competition, and received strong support from many media and Chinese restaurants in Western Australia.
We are honored to invite Consul General Long Dingbin of the Chinese Consulate General in Perth to attend this event. In his speech, the Consul General said that holding a food cooking competition not only provides a platform for various overseas Chinese groups to showcase their hometown food and display their talents, but also helps to promote Chinese traditional food culture, enhance communication and exchanges among overseas Chinese during the epidemic, and promote physical and mental health.
Famous Western Australian hosts Yao and Helene Fung convened 12 teams of experts to draw lots on the spot to decide the order of cooking and performance.
In his speech, President Chen Zhiming of the Western Australian Chinese Catering Industry Association thanked all parties for taking the time out of their busy schedules to attend the Masters Among the People 2021 and introduced the association's mission.
Each participating team sent a representative to solemnly introduce their local cuisine.
Ten specially invited judges and four foodie group members selected by lottery carefully tasted each dish and gave strict scores based on its "color", "aroma", "taste" and "shape".
Hundreds of foodies lined up in the venue, vying to be the first to taste the delicacies provided anonymously by various Chinese restaurants in Western Australia.
