  Jenny Kwan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She graduated from Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor of Arts in criminology and was as a community legal advocate in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
Kwan, along with Joy MacPhail, was one of two NDP MLAs to survive the electoral wipeout of 2001.
Kwan, as expected by many pundits, got re-elected in the 2005 British Columbia Provincial Election; she was one of only 2 MLA's from the New Democratic Party to face re-election.

 Kwantum Leap
Kwan credits her success, in part, to a period of soul-searching that led her to discovering her purpose in life.
Still uncertain as to her direction, Kwan left university to work, and then took a trip to Hong Kong and China "to find my roots." It was there that Kwan's own experiences of struggle growing up in a low-income family, coalesced with the overwhelming inequities she saw around her in Hong Kong and China.
Kwan's search not only helped her find out who she was and what she wanted to do, but it built her self-confidence.

 Our Times - Canada's Independent Labour Magazine
She and colleague Jenny Kwan were the only NDP MLAs to retain their seats in the 2001 provincial election, when the Liberals captured 77 of 79 seats in the Legislature.
Meanwhile, Jenny Wai Ching Kwan, the MLA for Vancouver Mount Pleasant, is in her office nearby, methodically returning phone calls from concerned members of the public who want to vent their anger at the Liberal government, or offer words of encouragement to the opposition MLAs.
Within her electoral boundaries, Kwan has the gritty, resilient, Downtown Eastside neighbourhood, often described as the "poorest postal code in Canada." On the surface, it's an area of rundown, single-room-occupancy hotels where people with drug and alcohol addictions live, and prostitution and related criminal activity thrive.

While the formation of such an identity is based on a negation of Chineseness, Hong Kong'stransnational crossing to Hollywood initiates another negation that negates the very symbolic realm common to Chineseness.
The paper outlines a Hong Kong-based approach to two earlier phases in the history of action: the 'international co-production' as an industrially innovative form (1973-85), and the golden age of the 'direct to tape' industry enabled by the rapid spread of video technology (1985-93).
