A Day with Dawn Chan
Dawn (38) is the founder of Mandarin Kingdom that provides Mandarin and Cantonese language classes. She is from Hong Kong and permanently moved to Barcelona in 2009 when she married her Catalan husband. She has two sons. Before she moved to Barcelona she was working at a hotel for more than a decade and questioned whether her life will continue the way it was. Her friends recommended her a fortune teller whom she visited and he told her that she will move away from Hong Kong and meet her true love. During that time, she was taking a Spanish class close to home which led her to study in Barcelona for a year in 2008. She met her true love that year through a Japanese friend – the matchmaker. I had the privilege to document her world for a day and had had many meaningful and deep conversations with her and her family.
