Montreal merchant Woo Chong Kee seeks Cantonese oasis before death
Chinese born Montreal trader Woo Chong Kee, blind and aged, plans to return to native Cathay with his son Willie Woo after two years in Canada. Willie, an athlete and McGill alumnus, will study in a Chinese institution while coaching basketball to help cover tuition.
