Halifax restauranteur gives back Yeung celebrates Canada 150 in May Garden ALLISON LAWLOR With his fourth Chinese restaurant now open in the city, Eric Yeung is excited to see his business grow so he can continue to give back to the community that has supported him since arriving in Canada with nothing 26 years ago. “Halifax helped me a lot. I love the city. I love the people,” says Yeung. On July 31, Yeung held a grand opening of his new May Garden restaurant in Bedford’s Mill Cove Plaza with dancers, music, and food. The Chinese Society of Nova Scotia performed outside the restaurant with colourful dancing lions and drumming, while several politicians including MP and Speaker of the House Geoff Regan, N.S. Immigration Minister Lena Diab, and Philip Lee, the former lieutenant governor of Manitoba, watched. A leader in the Chinese community, Yeung officially opened his new restaurant on Canada Day and used the occasion to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Following a national, multicultural drumming event he had helped to organize at Pier 21, he invited more than 200 people to his new restaurant to eat and celebrate. Yeung has come a long way since 1991 when at age 33 he left Hong Kong to help his aunt May Yeung in her takeout restaurant in Lower Sackville. “I started from zero,” says Yeung, who in addition to running a successful business now serves with many organizations including as Atlantic region co-chair of the National Congress of Chinese Canadians. Life in Hong Kong was hard. To make a living, Yeung worked several jobs, including in a garment factory and as a delivery man. “If someone needed me to work, I would,” he says. When he learned that his aunt needed

华人企业家热衷公益回馈社会 翻译：肖芬菲 在杨力维先生来加拿大的第26个年 头，他在新斯科舍省开了第四家中餐 厅。他很高兴能将生意的规模不断扩 大，但他更庆幸的是，自己能够有机会 回报给予他很多 帮助和支持的社区。 杨先生说：“我热爱哈利法克斯，我爱 这座城市的人们，他们给了我很多帮 助。” 7月31日，在音乐声、狮龙队表演和嘉 宾们的喝彩声中，杨先生为自己在位于 Bedford区Mill Cove Plaza的美园中餐 馆新店顺利剪彩。应邀出席此次剪彩的 还有加 拿大国会下议院议长Geoff Regan先生、新斯科舍省移民部长 Lena Diab女士、曼尼托巴省前省督 Philip Lee先生，以及哈利法克斯市长 Mike Savage先生。 作为华人社区的领袖，杨先生选择在加 拿大日正式营业新餐厅，以此来纪念和 庆祝加拿大150周年。国庆日当天，在 杨先生的牵头组织下，各移民社区在21 号码头协同举办了多元文化大型击鼓庆 国庆 活动，并在活动后邀请了参与活 动的200余人到他的新餐厅就餐庆 祝。 1991年，33岁的杨先生离开香港，来 到加拿大新斯科舍省帮助他的姑姑经营 位于Lower Sackville的外卖餐厅美园。 “我从零开始，白手起家。”杨先生 说。现在，他的身份除了是一名成功的 企业家，还是社区领袖，包括担任全加

华人联会大西洋地 区联合主席。 杨先生说，在香港立足要付出很多努 力。他在香港时尝试过许多工作，包括 制衣厂工人、快递员等 等。 “如果有工作找我，我都愿意尝试。” 杨先生如是说。因此，当姑姑的餐厅需 要帮助的时候，他义不容辞的离开了香 港。即使他此前从未在餐厅工作过，为 了能够帮助姑姑，他在香港专门学习 了烹饪。 1993年姑姑生病，杨先生买下了美 园。两年后，他在 Bedford开了第二家
分店。1996年，他给 Beaverbank分店 增加了食堂，变为可入座式餐厅。 2003年，他在 Dartmouth开了第三家 分店。 “我赚了一些钱，然后希望能够回馈社 会。”杨先生说：“我希望能够尽自己 的力量 帮助其他人。” 不久前，他创办新斯科舍省华人教育促 进会(Chinese Education Promotion Association of Nova Scotia),通过这个 教育基金会每年向高中、大学的学生提 供$500到 $1000不等的教育资助。
作为两个孩子的父亲，杨先生近期与圣 玛丽大学签订了“五年计划”协议，他 将向校内大学生提供高达$5000的教育 奖学金，华人和加拿大学生均可申请。 同时，他也与戴尔豪斯大学签订了类似 的协 议。去年，大约有8名学生收到华 人教育促进会的资助。今年，杨先生希 望能够将人数增加至15 名。 “我希望这些学生们能够在毕业后留在 新斯科舍省，因为我们省太需要人才 了。”杨先生说：“我希望我们能一起 建设我们的社区， 让它更加强大。”

Eric Yeung CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 “I make some money. I want to give it back to the community,” he says. “I like helping people.” One way he does that is through the Chinese Education Promotion Association of Nova Scotia. Known as the CEPA fund, it provides scholarships of between $500 and $1,000 to high school and university students. Yeung, a father of two grown children, recently signed a five-year agreement with St. Mary’s University to provide a scholarship fund of up to $5,000, which is available to both Chinese and Canadian students. He has a similar agreement in place with Dalhousie University. Last year, about eight students were given money through the CEPA fund, this year Yeung expects to help up to 15 students. “After they graduate, I hope they can stay in Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia needs these people,” he says. “We want to make our community stronger.”

Junior Achievers helps create colourful opportunities KATIE INGRAM
Seven months ago, Alice Song was simply a student at Citadel High in Halifax; now she’s a student who has helped run a successful company. Song, 16, says has always been interested in business, but didn’t have the experience or connections. This changed in October when she joined Junior Achievement (JA) Nova Scotia’s Company Program. “I have a lot of ideas, but I don’t exactly have the kick in the butt to get on it,” she says. “And these people came and said ‘join Junior Achievement, you create your own company and we teach you skills’, so I did.”

Junior Achievers “We want students CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 JA is an international organization that helps youth, from the elementary to secondary school level, learn business and economic skills. JA Nova Scotia, which started in 1969, currently has 13 different programs, including the Company Program. Designed for students from grades 9 to 12, the Company Program is an 18-week business venture where students, with help from advisors, create a business and product that is sold within their community. “It’s very hands-on; they end up having a full understanding of … how to manage money and how an actual business works,” says Emma Eagles, manager of marketing and communications for JA Nova Scotia. Along with three other students, Alice helped create Halizans, a combination of the words Halifax and artisans, and sold handmade notebooks. “We advertised it as authentic, handpainted, local art,” says Alice. “Our goal this year was to promote it throughout our community because we recognize art can be very beneficial because you are inspired by it and it’s a bright colour splash in your office.” While JA enabled Alice and her group to have a bit extra money and build a business from the ground up, she finds the benefits are endless. “Our group was kind of shy; we were all first timers except one person, but at the end our advisors made us go to door-to-door,” says Alice. “When people didn’t shut the door in front of us, but behind us because they’ve let us into their homes to share our story, that was really motivating and inspiring.” It has also led to other opportunities. After the program was finished, one of Alice’s new connections asked her if she would help with her friend’s election campaign. “I would have never have gotten there or close to there if it hadn’t been for JA,” says Alice. Even though it is a business-focused program, this is exactly what JA’s goal

is for its participants – to do whatever they want do, no matter what it is. “We want students to know their potential is boundless and (the program) is broadening their horizons and expanding their knowledge,” says Eagles. “Whether a kid wants to be a dentist or a scientist or a mechanic, they still need that business background if they want to go out on their own. Along with helping with the campaign, Alice is already thinking of ideas for next year’s company. One of her ideas is a product that could protect a dog’s feet from salt damage during the winter months. “This is an need in the community I became aware of because I joined the company,” she says. “It taught me to think about what people need, how can they benefit from what we are offering and how is it different from other products.” For more information on JA Nova Scotia and its programs visit: http:// www.janovascotia.ca/

Eat, drink and be happy Halifax’s first izakaya restaurant opens on Queen Street ALLISON LAWLOR The opening of the city’s first izakaya restaurant is an exciting new element to Halifax’s bustling food scene. An informal Japanese gastropub, izakayas have been compared to Irish pubs or tapas bars. They are usually casual places where people gather for a drink and a snack typically after work. With no such venue in Halifax, Sushi Nami Royale stepped up to the plate at their new Queen Street location. “Izakaya is trendy in many different cities,” says Catherine Luo, Atlantic Canada regional manager for Sushi Nami Royale, which has four locations in the Halifax area. “People like those kinds of different dining experiences.” In some izakayas, customers sit on tatami mats and dine from low tables, in the traditional Japanese style, but at the new Halifax restaurant diners can eat at booths or at the wooden bar, located in the centre of the restaurant. There they can choose to have a cup of one of seven different types of sake, a Japanese rice wine, or enjoy a glass of the Japanese beer Sapporo, on tap. “It is more joyful, more relaxed,” says Luo. “You have drinks. You have snacks.” From the open-style kitchen, chef John Sam, who has 30 years of experience in Japanese cuisine, offers customers Japanese snack foods like grilled chicken skewers, bite-sized fried chicken, and a dish like tempura. Wanting to keep the restaurant affordable, a snack
dish costs about $6, says Luo. With the opening of the new izakaya restaurant on Queen, across the street from the Halifax Central Library, Sushi Nami Royale closed its Dresden Row location. Sushi Nami Royale first opened in Halifax more than a decade ago. The new restaurant, which maintains a natural feel to the interior with a lot of wood rather than glass or chrome, also offers menu items customers of Sushi Nami Royale appreciate. Sushi and several different Japanese noodles, priced at just $10 a bowl, as well as teriyaki and grilled foods are available. Being in Nova Scotia, the restaurant also offers customers a twist on the typical lobster dinner. The popular shellfish is served in a special miso soup or with the chef ’s own special sauce. Nova Scotia oysters are also available raw or grilled. “A lot of people know izakaya or sake in Halifax, but they don’t know where to drink it or how,” says Luo. “I believe many people in Halifax want to experience this.” The opening of the izakaya reminds Luo of decades ago when the city’s first sushi restaurants appeared on the food scene- an unfamiliar sight at the time for most Haligonians. “Twenty years ago, people asked how do you eat sushi? Now people are asking how do you izakaya?” she says. It’s simple, she says. Order a beer or a cup of sake and a delicious snack, then eat, drink and be happy.

Tips for international student tenants
THE NEW RANGE ROVER VELAR
As school starts up again, rent is the first thing on everyone’s mind
LISTEN TO YOUR INSTINCTS
LU XU Finding a place to live can be challenging, especially when you are a student with a limited budget and no local connections. If you are an international student, first of all, know that you are not alone. According to the Association of Atlantic Universities, as of this October there are 7,760 full-time students on visas at Nova Scotia universities. Over 6,000 of them go to universities in Halifax and many of them live off campus. Reading a lease can be exhausting, especially in a second language. If you find the contract hard to understand, ask the landlord if you can take the lease with you and get someone to help you understand it. In Nova Scotia, it’s illegal for a landlord to charge an application fee or a security deposit before you enter into a lease. The damage deposit can be no more than half a month’s rent. At the end of the tenancy, if there are no problems and all payments have been made to the landlord as required, the landlord must return your security deposit within 10 days. For more information, look at the Residential Tenancies Guides. If the renting process still seems confusing or intimidating, there is help. The easiest place to turn for help is the school that you are attending. University’s websites and student associations are always good places to go. If you feel like you need additional help beyond your campus, here are some other resources: Access Nova Scotia The Residential Tenancies page on the government of Nova Scotia website provides tenants and landlords with means for settling disputes and is part
“In Nova Scotia, it’s illegal for a landlord to charge an application fee or a security deposit before you enter into a lease.” “在新斯科克省，在签约之 前以任何名义收取所谓申请 费都是违法的。” of the Access Nova Scotia service. You will find, among other things, the newest tenancy policies and a tenancy guide which includes some general do’s and don’ts. If you want more personalized help, it is suggested that you go to one of their offices. Check out this map to find the nearest office around you. Dalhousie Legal Aid If you feel your rights were denied, there are other services that can help. Some students may worry about how legal proceedings would affect their visa or simply don’t have the time and money to file a case, but they shouldn’t. Contrary to popular belief, a small case might not take as long you might expect. In Nova Scotia, there’s a separate court called small claims court that only deals with cases under $25,000 (not including interest and legal costs). And if you are short on money, you could contact a legal aid clinic, like Dalhousie Legal Aid which often deals with tenancy issues. Dal legal aid is a non-for-profit organization that offer free legal service to NOT ONLY students in the Dalhousie University but to all the society. They have a department that specifically deals with tenancy issues.
BOOK A TEST DRIVE Some prefer to listen to their heads, others their hearts. With the New Range Rover Velar, you have the luxury of listening to both. Your head tells you, it’s a Land Rover with legendary go anywhere capability. Then take a look at the stunning exterior silhouette, the perfect waistline with flush deployable door handles and burnished copper details. Now listen. That’s the sound of your heart racing.

首先，你要知道，有相同处境的学生不 止你一个。根据大西洋大学联盟 调查显示，至2016年年底，整个新 斯科克省有7760名全职学生。其 中，有超过六千人在哈法，而他们 当中有很多都住在校外。 阅读租房合同是一件很让头疼的事，更 别说是英文合同了。如果你觉得 合约晦涩难懂，记得在签约前向房 东所要契约找人帮你阅读。 在新斯科克省，在签约之前以任何名义 收取所谓申请费都是违法的。住 房押金的金额依法不能超出月租的 一半。合同结束时，如果房屋完 好，租金按时支付，房东需在十天 之内将押金返还。 更多信息请点击你可以谷歌“Residential Tenancies Guides.” 如果你还是觉得一个人应付不来，没有 头绪，那请看下文中将提到的一 些资源，帮助你了解自己的权益以 及如何寻求帮助。 1. 学校组织和大学网站 哈法多数大学都有着来自不同国家的学 生联盟。即便他们不能直接帮助 你，你也可以从他们那里得知应该 向谁寻求帮助。 除了学生组织，你还可以尝试那些不仅 仅针对国际学生的组织。比如如 果你是圣玛利大学的学生，你可以 登陆圣玛利亚大学，通过“AKA A SMUdent”平台提问。 其实大学官网本身就是一个很好的搜索 殷勤。登录你所在大学的官网， 输入“living off campus”。例如戴 尔豪斯的官网，就会出现很多相关 信息。 你还可以下载大学的app，例如SMU就 有自己的app，上面可以查询相关 信息。 2. Access Nova Scotia 省政府的官方网站有一个名为“resid-

ential tenancies”的网页，上 面提供了关于解决住房纠纷的办 法，这个网站是Access Nova Scotia 服务的内容之一。在这个网页上， 你可以找到最新的租房规定，以及 一些租客在租房时应该注意的一些 基本建议。 如果你想得到更个性化的服务，你可以 去他们的办公楼，当面咨询。 3. 戴尔法律援助 如果你觉得自己的合法权益受到侵犯， 你也可以找到专业的帮助。有 些学生可能觉得提出法律诉讼可能 会影响他们的学签，又或者没有时 间和金钱去提出诉讼。 这种想法是存在误区的。如果只是一个 很小的案件，那么庭审时间可能 没有你想的那么长。 在新斯科克省，有一个专门处理小案件 的法庭叫做：small claims court。 所有25000美元以下的案件（不包含 利息和诉讼费）都在这里得到处 理。 如果你没有足够的金钱打官司的话，你 可以寻求义务法律援助Dalhousie Legal Aid。这个机构不仅仅针对戴 尔豪斯的学生，它面向社会，不仅 如此，机构内部有一个专门负责租 房纠纷的部门。你可以拨打电话(902) 423-8105, 转到租房热线，然后留下 语音信息和联系方式。
In our previous article we learned that the combination of 女 and 也 comes out the personal pronoun 她 (ta-she, her). Many would assume that Chinese characters with a woman symbol represent female person. The assumption is partially correct. For instance, mother is 妈, motherin law is 婆, elder sister is 姐, younger sister is 妹, mother’s sister is 姨, to name just a few. We also know that the character 始, which has the woman symbol (女)， originally meant the experience of intercourse for the first time, and “好” meant having given birth to one’s child. It seems that many Chinese characters with a woman symbol represent things related to blood origin. And it actually is. Characters with a woman symbol represent some very ancient family names. We all know Yao Ming, the famous basketball player. His family name “Yao 姚” represents the ancient Yao household. According to Shuo Wen Jie Zi, the earliest dictionary for Chinese characters, ‘Yao’ was a place, where the great leader Shun stayed. Shun then decided to take ‘Yao’ as his family name. There are even more famous family names in China that have the character with ‘woman component’. One of them is ‘姜 Jiang’. Among the Jiang’s, there was Jiang Tai Gong, who lived 3000 years ago and was regarded as one of the war deities. Moreover, the family name of the first emperor, Chin Shi Huang, was
‘嬴ying’. Nowadays, the Chin dynasty is known for constructing the Great Wall and the Terra Cotta Warriors. Apparently, “嬴” has a woman component. Many Chinese characters relating to marriage have a ‘woman component’. For example, ‘matchmaker’ is ‘媒mei’, ‘wife’ is ‘妻qi’. Interestingly, a different Chinese character is used for a woman’s marriage as a ma’s. The verb for ‘ woman marrying man’ is ‘嫁jia’, while ‘man marrying women’ is ‘娶qu’. Nonetheless, both characters have the same woman component. 嫁 is a combination with ‘women + jia(home)’, whereas 娶 is ‘qu (take) + women’. The noun form for marriage is 婚hun’ or ‘姻yin’. 婚 is the combination of ‘women + twilight’. Why ‘twilight’ Again, according to Shuo Wen Jie Zi, the woman part in duality of ‘man & woman’ belongs to ‘Yin’ in Yinyang philosophy, and twilight belongs to the same Yin part in ‘time’ category. On the other hand, ‘姻’ is a combination of ‘woman + depend’, which perfectly reflects the ancient opinion on women’s marriage. In the modern Chinese language, the two characters form one word to express ‘marriage’. From the above observation we can see that whether the word is to represent a family name or a married relationship, a Chinese character with a 女 (woman) symbol often implies origin, or say, gene. Author’s note: The character 女 can represent both ‘woman’ or ’women’, hence they may sometimes appear to be used interchangeably. qinyi@dhu.edu.cn.

“女”及女字偏旁汉字II 作者：高倩艺 上篇文章我们了解到，“女+也”组合 成代词“她”。如果你注意到许多女字 旁的汉字代表女性，那么恭喜你，眼力 不错！例如母亲“妈”，丈夫的母亲 “婆”，年长的同父或同母所生女性 “姐”、年幼的“妹”，母亲的妹妹 “姨”等等。 我们也知道，“始”的原始意义可能是 初次的性经验，而“好”则意味着女人 得了孩子。女字偏旁的字似乎跟血缘有 关系。没错！来，我们 再深入一步。 很多姓氏带有女子偏旁。著名的篮球运 动员姚明姓“姚”。根据古代汉 字字典《说文解字》，“姚”原本 是地名，后来舜帝在那里住过，就 取地名作自己的姓了。还有更著名 人物的姓带女字部件。比如“姜”,
三千年前的姜太公，一度被崇拜为 战神。下令建造了万里长城和兵马 俑的秦始皇，姓嬴。从“嬴”字可 以找到女字部件。 很多女字偏旁的汉字跟婚俗相关。如， 介绍两家结合的是“媒”；结 了婚的女人是某人的“妻”。英语 表达结婚，男女都用一个词；但在 中国，却用不同的词（=汉字）来表 达。女跟男结婚的动词是“嫁”， 男跟女结婚的动词是“娶”。共同 点是它们都含有女字偏旁。嫁由 “女+家”组成，娶由“取+女”组 成，虽然这里的“家”和“取”是 声符，但怎么看都觉得意味深长。 结婚的名词形式是“婚”或“姻”。 “婚”是“女+昏”。为什么是黄昏 的“昏”？可能因为古人婚礼的时 刻是在黄昏。根据《说文解字》， 女性属于阴阳哲学中所谓的
“阴”，黄昏也属于“阴”，选这 个时刻举办仪式，大概希望天人合 一吧。而“姻”是“女+因”的结 合，意思是女人的依靠、女人的价 值，反映了古人对婚姻态度。在现 代汉语中，这两个字形成一个词
汇，“婚姻”。 从上述我们可以看出，无论是姓氏还是 与婚姻有关的字，其女字偏旁， 似乎都意味着起源、血缘或“基 因”。
