Tony Leung: Classmate

Fiance Dept: In the video Finding a Hybrid Husband, Yip, a researcher at the University of B.C., goes off on blind date "number 27" with then classmate Tony Leung, according to Vancouver Sun. "I know Vancouver isn't an old village in China, but since my grandparents immigrated here in the '40s and '50s ... well, some traditions seem to be stuck in time." It seems unlikely, but when Jennifer Yip staged a cute, but fake, date and posted a short video clip about it on YouTube, she was at the beginning of a new way of looking at the history of Chinese-Canadians in Vancouver, going back more than 125 years. She's sweetly hilarious, telling the camera she's looking for a fiance. As reported in the news.
