A new museum celebrates three generations of missionaries who came to Sichuan province in the late 19th century. Huang Zhiling and He Juntian collect the stories in Sichuan.
On the second Saturday of every October, the "CS Kids" gather in a Chinese restaurant in suburban Toronto, Canada.
The annual reunion of a group of Canadians who were born and raised in Southwest China's Sichuan province and attended the Canadian School there has continued for 77 years in the same restaurant. It began in 1936, when some Canadian missionaries in Sichuan who returned to Canada for their furlough met for a Chinese meal on Elizabeth Street.
