Chun Hon Chan was the first Chinese Canadian to compete in the Olympic Games, participating in the weightlifting competitions at the Mexico City 1968 and Munich 1972 Summer Games. Standing at just 5'2" and weighing in at 120 pounds, his appearance and strength defied expectations during a time when Chinese men were stereotyped as physically weak. On this episode of the School Room, Debbie and Derek Chan, children of Chun Hon Chan, recount memories of their father, including his journey to Canada as a paper son, hardships as a restaurant worker and owner, and his disciplined lifestyle as an athlete.
