Hsi

An excellent example of the Chinese colporteur's zeal and capacity is afforded by Hsi Fuh Ts’ing, who lives at Hwangchow in the province of Hupeh.

In the course of this ‘Second Anti-Rightist Campaign’ (Erh-tz’u fan-yu), Ch’en Yün’s authority was considerably restricted, and the Vice-Premier and Secretary General of the State Council, Hsi Chung-hsün (member of the CC), was dismissed.

The ceremony held by civilians including Roger Hsi (習賢德), a professor of journalism at Fu Jen Catholic University, Yang Hua-kun, a younger cousin of Chen, and three former members of the Black Cat Squadron took place at the Air Force’s martyrs tomb in Sindian District (新店), New Taipei City (新北市).[…] Hsi said because Chen did not marry and his direct relatives live in Fuzhou, in China’s Fujian Province, they have been unable to go to Taiwan to apply to the government for compensation and have not received any compensation for his death in 50 years.

The hilly topography restricts the cultivated area mainly to the valleys of the Hsi River and of its tributaries in Kuang-hsi and Kuang-tung and the lowlands of T'ai-wan and Hai-nan. Western T'ai-wan and the Hsi River delta have extremely high population densities.

Some 2,000 are reported to have escaped to Ichang alone, and finding no way to support themselves in the city, have engaged in group robberies. It was said the plundering of “Ichang Supplying and Sciling Cooperative” freighters traveling on the Hsi River was the work of these youths.

During World War II (1939–45) and following the Japanese occupation of Burma, the Malay states, and Hong Kong, cholera marched across southern China along different military routes. It arrived in Guangdong along the Xi (Hsi) River and crossed over the Burmese border to infect Yunnan and Guangxi provinces.

He said he recently asked HSI to audit how much of their time is spent on work site enforcement, and said he has ordered that to increase “by four to five times.”

During worksite enforcement actions, HSI officials typically request to see people’s identification to confirm they are authorized to work.

More than half of America’s Latino undergraduates attend an HSI – that is, a public or private nonprofit college or university with a student body that is at least 25 percent Latino. HSIs, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) serve a higher proportion of low- and middle-income students than their peer institutions, and together they enroll nearly sixty percent of the Nation’s 4.7 million minority undergraduate students. […] Enhancing education opportunities for Hispanics will be vital to achieving this objective, and we will need the continued leadership of HSIs to increase the enrollment, retention and graduation rates of our Hispanic students.
