In 1952, under the advocacy of Louis Eli, the New Zealand China Friendship Association was established in New Zealand.

Rong Dawei is the winner of the "Chinese Government Friendship Award" and has been active in the front line of the people's friendship between New Zealand and China for many years.

From the first set foot in China in 1991, to visit China almost every year, Rong Dawei has a deep relationship with China. A large part of the work carried out in China is to promote agricultural cooperation between the two countries and assist the development of rural cooperative projects. Therefore, his footprints in China in the past ten years are mainly in the western region:

"In Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Ningxia and other places, I continued the work left by Louis Eli. Special Yaman Dan Peili School and Cooperatives, Gonghe and New China Friendship Association, we have done several projects together. Develop projects, especially projects developed by cooperatives. "

In 2012, Rong Dawei (fourth from left) presented awards to a rural cooperative on behalf of the New Zhongzhong Friendship Association and Gonghe International in Shandan County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province

During China, Rong Dawei personally felt the huge changes brought about by reform and opening up to China, and witnessed the real journey of China's step by step towards prosperity and development. Rong Dawei said that his life in China was very lucky. He saw the gradual development of China:

"I am very lucky in China. I went to many places. Now it has changed a lot. The quality of life of Chinese people has improved a lot. I saw the country's development, very good."

Rong Dawei said that in infrastructure, China has undergone tremendous changes. In recent years, China's transportation has become smoother, and people's travel is becoming more and more convenient:

"The traffic is convenient. I remember 33 hours to go to Guangzhou from Shanghai in 1991. Now it is not the same. I remember that I used to go to Yaman Dan, Gansu, Gansu. There is a tunnel from Lanzhou to Zhangye. There is a tunnel in Qilian Mountain. It is too convenient to cross Xining from Xining to Zhangye from Lanzhou. "

In October 2017, Rong Dawei (right in front) unveiled at Lanzhou Urban Academy for Louis Eryi Memorial Hall

Rong Dawei said that his years of experience in China really let him understand "where this country comes from, where will it go." In his opinion, the fundamental guarantee of China's development lies in the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and the Communist Party of China has been supported and supported by the people:

"We have seen the development of China, how do we do it? Because the Chinese support the Communist Party and the Chinese government. The Communist Party and the Chinese government support the development of the Chinese people. This is the most important. We see a democratic country, 50% A government, 50%of people do not support it, but more than 90%of Chinese people support, so it is a very good (party) relationship. "

2022 is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and STDs. Today, the New China Friendship Association has gone through 70 years of time. After Rong Dawei has been the chairman of the New China Friendship Association for eight years, he retired Glory. He said that his mission in China was not over, and he was still trying to promote the friendship between New Zealand and China. Rong Dawei said that it is important to let people really understand China:

"Our new China Friendship Association has been established for 70 years. Our purpose is to let everyone understand China and be friends. We are real hope to understand China, see China, and be friends with Chinese people."

Rong Dawei especially hopes to promote the exchange between young people in the new and China. He said that it is very important to cultivate the friendship of young people, which will lay the foundation for the future development of relations between the two countries.

Rong Dawei believes that the international community should recognize the true and objective China. In recent years, Western media's false and distorted reports on China have actually taken the opportunity to suppress the increasingly developing China with some Western countries led by the United States, trying to confuse audiovisual, thereby discrediting China's image and curbing China's development. He believes that peace and development are an unstoppable historical trend:

"In the past two years, I think it is a Western journalist and a newspaper that has not been reported (real) China, so more and more people outside do not understand China. Now I think the biggest problem is that the purpose of the United States is not to really introduce China. It is China (introduced to the world). Many other countries, including New Zealand, Australia, and European countries (media), are also reported. It is unrenovated. They have other purposes. China ’s development, we have already developed, we have already developed, we have already developed, we have already developed, we have already developed, we have already developed. After seeing it, we all know that it is rapid development and helping many countries to develop. The purpose of Western countries is to suppress China. "

As Rong Dawei said, there are opportunities in the challenge.Today, the fate of all countries and regions is closely linked. Human beings are a community of destiny. Only cooperation can achieve a win -win situation and continue to develop forward: "I think our opportunity is very good. I think the opportunity in the future is like this. China gave it very wellOpportunities, work together (in cooperation). (According to) our statement internationally is to do it together and work hard together. "
