A Special Opening: Taiping's New Greenlane Store Yesterday I attended the opening of Auckland's largest Chinese-Asian supermarket, located in Greenlane. The Managing Director, Michael Chan, is a grandson of the wellknown early Chinese polltax payer Mr William Sung Chong (also known as Chan Soon Chong), who first arrived in New Zealand in 1919. Today, Taiping operates around 10 to 11 stores across the country. Michael’s father (Peter Chan(PETER CHAN (陈靄筠) DOB 1930- ACCC(屋仑华侨会所) chair1987-93 , and ACCC chair 1995-2002 MNZM))founded the company back in the 1980s, and the very first Taiping store was opened on Hobson Street in Auckland CBD. Michael is perhaps one of the most successful descendants of Mr William Sung Chong, continuing his family’s legacy in New Zealand’s Chinese community. 特别的开业：太平超市（Taiping）Greenlane新店启幕 昨天，我参加了位于奥克兰Greenlane的“太平超市”（Taiping）新店的开业仪式。这是奥克兰规模最大的华人/亚洲超市。该公司的董事总经理Michael Chan（陈先生），是早期华人移民William Sung Chong（又名Chan Soon Chong）的孙子。William Sung Chong曾是“人头税”（poll tax）的缴纳者，于1919年首次抵达新西兰。 如今，太平超市在全新西兰各地设有约10至11家门店。Michael的父亲Peter Chan（陈霭筠，1930年出生；曾于1987年至1993年及1995年至2002年期间担任屋仑华侨会所（ACCC）主席，并获颁新西兰功绩勋章（MNZM））在20世纪80年代创立了该公司，而第一家太平超市就开设在奥克兰市中心的Hobson街上。 Michael堪称William Sung Chong最成功的后代之一，他延续了家族在新西兰华人社区中的传承与基业。 https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=ling.john.9400&set=a.2278009986303959
