 * 2) To help members of the community on their journey to realize what it means to be Chinese where ever in the world they may be.
 * 3) To build bridges between China and the rest of the world.

History
The society was set up officially in 2013 by the founding members. However this has been an idea of the founders since 2009 when they organized and ran events for other Chinese Culture groups.
