Ella Rubeli/The Global Mail
October 31, 2012By accident, choice or fate some of us transform our lives completely. Today, meet Xiao Tang Qin, who was a concert violinist in Beijing and now plays for customers of his Sydney dumpling shop, Chinese Noodle Restaurant.
What a beautiful film about mr Qin. The music is lovely. Well done!! Maria Hendriks, Amsterdam.
Great story and a fascinating man. Thanks guys! John Ferguson
This is such a lovely film. The subject matter is compelling. It is a pleasing story. The skilful use of music and close-up camera work heightens the poignancy of this man's life. The final scene actually brought tears to my eyes.
This is fantastic. I'm loving the new look Global Mail and the use of multimedia... really pretty spectacular. Well done and thanks :)
What a great story! Thank you, guys, thank you, Global Mail and thank you, Mr Qin
Loved this, Ella and Joel. You have handled the mini-movie format beautifully. Such a lot of information in a tiny time-space. A little gem. Thanks for it.
Inspiring and heart-warming. A great story.
I feel proud of being an Australian to watch this story. We are fair, kind and acceptance of all cultures. I was a migrant here 30years ago and feel proud indeed to see migrants happy here. Good story and I will be making a trip to this restaurant.
Given we are a nation of migrants more of these personal stories need to be told. Our similarities far out way our differences and this becomes apparent when we take the time to look more closely. Looking forward to the next installment.
Another chapter in the migrant story. Should be an inspiration to us all
This man makes a mighty fine dumpling!!
Nice camera work Ella, keep these stories coming.
He is so refreshing! I'd love to know which is his dumpling shop?
