| Chinese Spring Fest in Madison by Heidi M. Pascual |
| Colorful as the flowers of spring, the Chinese spring festival brings so much happiness and hope in the Chinese American community of Madison. The children and youth are mainly the source of such joyful gatherings at the Madison Fine Arts (MFA) Preschool on February 16 and at the Memorial Union Theater on February 18. We salute Ping Huang, MFA teacher, for her extraordinary ability to hone children?s talents to the fullest; the leaders of the UW-Chinese Students & Scholars Association and the Madison Area Chinese Cultural Association (MACCO) for giving our community a taste of Chinese culture every year. From dancing to singing, martial arts to playing various musical instruments, fine arts to mathematics, drama to scientific and business pursuits, there's no question that the Chinese always leave that impression of extraordinary discipline and confidence to succeed, whether or not they are in the minority. |
