RayYin is fortunate to have a thriving practice and many opportunities for growth in the new China.   We always remember, however, that we are connected to a larger community and we strive to use our resources to help others and be responsible members of our society.

Charitable Foundation

In 2008, RayYin set up Rayyin & Su Guanghua Scholarship, a charitable foundation, to provide scholarships that enable high achieving students from poor families to finish high school.  Currently, RayYin & Su Guanghua supports five students a year at Jiangsu Nanqing High School and the foundation plans to gradually increase the number of scholarships it awards and eventually expand the program to include students at additional schools.

RayYin & Su Guanghua was founded in honor of Guanghua Su, the grandfather of, Yi Zhou, one of RayYin’s founders, and a WWII pilot hero.   Guanghua Su was born in 1914 to a scholarly family in Zhouzhuang, a town in Jiangsu province.  After seeing great suffering among Chinese as a result of multiple foreign invasions, he became determined to act to remove China from foreign control and return the country to its people.  He signified his intentions by changing his given name, Ruibao, to Guanghua, which means “restore China”.

Mr. Su became a pilot and joined the China Air Force Bomb Army to fight the Japanese.  At the time, the Japanese believed that their sophisticated defense system would prevent the Chinese from being able to fly over Tokyo.  Mr.  Su courageously undertook a mission to fly to Tokyo in order to energize the China and demoralize Japan.  Putting his life in jeopardy by flying with only enough fuel to get to Japan, he completed his mission and announced his accomplishment by dropping anti-Japanese propaganda on Tokyo.  Despite his fuel shortage, he managed to fly back to China and land in a town near the ocean.  Upon landing, he changed his clothes and then made his way to HK and ultimately to Chongqing, where Chiang Kai-shek presented him with a sword to honor his accomplishment.  In addition, when the news reached his hometown, people began to refer to him as “Flying General”.  Meanwhile, in response to his successful penetration of Tokyo air space, the Commissioner in charge of air defense in Japan committed suicide. 

Mr. Su later served bravely in an attack against the Japanese in defense of Chengdu, during which he suffered a serious chest wound while engaged in an air fight.  No medicine was available to treat his injury, so he died a hero shortly after landing on December 11, 1940.  After liberation, he was recognized by the Communist Party as a hero and his name was later inscribed on the Nanjing Anti-Japanese War Aviation Martyr Monument. This was a very rare honor because he was a general in the Nationalist armed forces, not the Communist armed forces. 

Guanghua Su was 27 years old at the time of his death and he left behind his wife of one year and a one month old daughter.  His daughter taught at Jiangsu Nanjing High School.  RayYin decided to honor the memory of Guanghua Su by providing scholarships to students at Jiangsu Nanjing High School because educating Chinese is an important step towards his goal of restoring a unified China to the great country that it once was.
