The Hai Hong
Rene Pappone was an Immigration Canada media relations officer during the Hai Hong crisis. He later was appointed head of Public Affairs, Indochinese Refugee Task Force, responsible for directing the movement of 60,000 refugees to Canada in 1979 and 1980. ----------------------- It was 1978. A serious refugee crisis was looming in Southeast Asia, but the world seemed to turn a blind eye. Enter the Hai Hong, a dilapidated cargo vessel laden with 2,500 Vietnamese men, women and children. When the rust bucket dropped anchor off the Malaysian city of Port Klang, the Malaysian government - overburdened with 35,000 refugees - threatened to tow the vessel and its passengers out to sea. That shocked the world to attention. But as the international community struggled to find a solution, the boat and its passengers seemed headed for disaster. Canada broke the impasse by accepting 604 refugees, which encouraged other nations to follow.
Legitimising Rejection
This book examines Southeast Asia's rejection of international refugee law through extensive archival analysis and argues that this rejection was shaped by the region's response to its largest refugee crisis in the post-1945 era: the Indochinese refugee crisis from 1975-1996.

Ben Cao Gang Mu, Volume VI
Volume VI in the Ben cao gang mu series offers a complete translation of chapters 26 through 33, devoted to vegetables and fruits. The Ben cao gang mu is a sixteenth-century Chinese encyclopedia of medical matter and natural history by Li Shizhen (1518–1593). The culmination of a sixteen-hundred-year history of Chinese medical and pharmaceutical literature, it is considered the most important and comprehensive book ever written in the history of Chinese medicine and remains an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners. This nine-volume series reveals an almost two-millennia-long panorama of wide-ranging observations and sophisticated interpretations, ingenious manipulations, and practical applications of natural substances for the benefit of human health. Paul U. Unschuld's annotated translation of the Ben cao gang mu, presented here with the original Chinese text, opens a rare window into viewing the people and culture of China's past.
