John Howard, one of Australia's best prime ministers and Australia's second-longest-serving prime minister (1996 / 2007), was elected and re-elected for two terms. Howard has a friendly attitude to China and has visited China eight times.
One day five years ago, Howard, a former prime minister, came to the streets of Hurstville to greet his local Chinese friends. Chinese compatriots were enthusiastic, but not all of them were very good at English. Nor did the former prime minister bring an interpreter.
Then, a young man in his early twenties took the initiative to translate for the former prime minister and his Chinese compatriots, especially seriously.
After that, the former prime minister shouted, "where is the little boy who just translated for me?" Where is he? "
The little boy was surprised to be called. Then the former prime minister said in public, "Our community needs more people like Scott!"
Our community needs more people like Scott!
This little brother named Scott is the master of the story. He carries many typical stories of Chinese Australians.
Start with the boy's mother.
A $400 Australian dream
Scott's mother, from Shanghai, China, came to Australia more than 30 years ago, landed in Sydney's southern district, and paid her first month's rent and other expenses.
She had only 400 Australian dollars left all over her body.
To save money, she and seven people, share, a small apartment, in order to make a living, forced herself to find a job in a factory in Sydenham in the shortest time, and began to work. It can be said to be quite difficult.
Scott's father emigrated to Australia from Hong Kong, China. Initially marketed textbooks and review materials at Flemington's Paddy's Market.
After falling in love at first sight, the two set up a tutoring center in Hurstville. From now on, from scratch, start the family education business in Australia.
In 1992, Little Scott was born.
Little Scott and Mom.
He started volunteering at the age of 14 and Westpac,20 by trying to conquer the Australian version of Trump at the age of 18. His family instilled a strong sense of professional ethics in Scott from an early age.
At the age of 12, his mother took him as a volunteer, which, for the time being, might have been a mere attempt to bring up the child to do something meaningful. But later, Scott said it was very grateful to his mother, because it taught him how to give and serve the public.
As a result of the relocation of the family business, Scott switched to three schools, received quality education at the Kingsgrove,Bexley North,Hurstville public school, and graduated from the elite school, Sydney Boys High.
At the age of 14, high achiever's Scott started his career ahead of schedule, becoming a small teacher at the home tutor's center, helping tinkering children advance together, from English to math, from intelligence to writing. It is commendable that:
Not only did he try to do one thing himself, but he was also willing to help others make progress together.
When he was 18, he started working at Westpac when he went to UNSW. After several twists and turns into Australia's well-known Yellow Brick Road wealth management group (YBR).
YBR founder Mark Bouris, however, calls it the Australian version of Trump, just more handsome than Trump and one of Australia's most famous business tycoons.
In 2011, when Scott first saw Mark, expressing admiration and wanting to work for him, he was rejected.
Later, he did not give up. Since you can't get a job directly, offer, start with the internship!
The harder you work, the more lucky you are.
After several attempts, he got an internship at YBR. He started with the simple work of binding documents, scanning, copying, and so on. He did this for three years, and finally promoted to the post of head of personnel recruitment department of Mark. YBR has expanded its branches in Australia to more than 100!
When his boss, Mark, later learned that Scott was a "suckling brat" he had refused a few years ago, he was impressed with Scott.
16-year-old father died, lost in pain.
In 2009, the life of a flat and rich family was broken by a bad news.
Scott, a 16-year-old, lost his father. As a representative of the early immigrants, the father worked too hard and worked too hard for his education center and family, but neglected his own body, so that he became ill and eventually died of liver disease.
We never know which one comes first with the accident tomorrow.
From then on, the burden of taking care of the whole family and raising three children fell on Scott's mother.
After a period of fear, helplessness, confusion, Scott thought a lot: time is really too limited, the greatest meaning of life-should be health and happiness.
How can we help more people to be healthy and happy?
Warm-hearted helping people, but found that the ability to limited, ignite the first heart in politics.
After that, Scott increasingly felt that relationships with family, neighbors, working partners, and people in the community were valuable in life.
He began to try and help the people around him.
He offered to help send the sick grandmother next door to the clinic;
To see that a child is bullied in school, he will help to find the teacher;
Send food to the homeless every month;
Do all kinds of charity work.
Many people make millions of donations when they are very rich.
And so young, before they have too much wealth, to do all they can, more worthy of praise.
But he gradually realized:
With the strength of one's own, walk through the streets, perhaps can only help one person, some people;
And with a good national or community policy, thousands of people can be helped.
Although still a bit ignorant, but Scott already had the initial intention of getting into politics.
Start at the lowest level, do the impossible, let the big Australian politicians like it.
Little by little, starting from the bottom, with a down-to-earth effort, his ability and conduct were gradually recognized by most of the people around him, including the local white society in Australia.
At the age of 23, Scott was elected chairman of Young Liberal's George Rivers constituency. As a Liberal Party region, the partners are not only Chinese, but also many white Australians, Middle Eastern people, and so on.
In 2018, Scott also co-founded and chaired the Liberal Party Chinese Youth Council (Liberal Chinese Youth Council with New State Governor Gladys Berejiklian.
In 2018, at the launch ceremony at Doltone House, nearly 1,000 people attended by political and business dignitaries from all walks of life.
Over the years, Australia's prime ministers have had exchanges with Scott.
John。 Former Prime Minister Howard was his enlightening mentor.
Former Prime Minister Albert taught him how to be a good politician.
He also has many opportunities to learn from former Prime Minister Tan Bao.
Mr Morrison, the current prime minister, is often accompanied by his activities.
He will also be ready to consult Australia's major minister at any time.
Today's Scott is multi-functional, in addition to getting up at 7: 00 a. M. every day, immersed in their own education center, to perform management duties;
At the same time, I have to take time to deal with my daily business as chairman of the Liberal Party's Chinese Youth Council.
There is endless community volunteer work, charity activities, and speeches on weekends.
It can be said to be quite substantial.
When asked how busy Scott is, "can work-life balance be achieved?"
And his answer is, "if you like your career enough, you never have to worry about imbalances."
As a Chinese American, he is proud of his Chinese ancestry.
As an Australian, he is committed to Australia's future.
From a young age, Scott has always been proud of his Chinese ancestry. Fortunately, as a child, he was influenced by his parents' traditional Chinese education philosophy and learned that his parents, as Chinese immigrants, are not afraid of setbacks in Australia. The tenacity of meeting difficulties. Also understand the difficulties and needs of Chinese Australians.
At the same time, Scott feels lucky to be born in a multicultural Australia. The most important thing about your political career is to be loyal to Australia's future.
At the same time, he hopes to do his best to promote communication between the Australian Chinese community and the Australian government, so that the Australian community can hear the voice of the 1.2 million Chinese in Australia.
Just past New Year's Eve's evening, Scott was proud and excited to see Sydney Opera House clothed in Chinese red with New State Governor Gladys Berejiklian.
And the governor of the new state sincerely praised the Liberal Party's excellent China Boy! "I'm proud of you being the Liberal Party candidate for Kogarah," he said.

In 2019, thanks to the tireless efforts of the little Chinese brother, he was recognized by Australian politicians for his abilities, including many of the heavyweight white Australian statesmen.
He was elected as the Liberal Party's candidate for state councilor in the Kogarah constituency.
The Kogarah constituency includes: Allawah,Beverly Hills,Carlton,Carss Park,Kogarah, and parts of Bexley, Bexley North,Blakehurst,Hurstville,Kingsgrove,Penshurst,South Hurstville.

What is more admirable is that he once said publicly: "I do not want the Liberal Party to choose me because I am Chinese. I hope they choose me because I can say it and do it well!"
We wish Scott as a young, outstanding, full of positive energy among the Australian Chinese representative, can continue to work hard to do better, go further!
I also hope that with every step he takes, he will not forget his original ideals and aspirations, while contributing to the Australian society, and at the same time, he can also seek more reasonable interests for the Chinese community.
