The cochairman of EMIS had much dedication on our community, but the individual's power is feeble after all. Therefore, we need all mandarin immigrants to be united together to strive for one goal.4 h6 p1 ?0 @& ?/ u

. V5 k. a: |! hEMIS is in unfledged growing period, and needs a long-term scheme and layout. We need to have a unabridged record of our history, experience, especially the mistakes we have made. We should have a regular activities list(or table), so that all the members could figure that out conveniently.
