Message: I have forgotten exactly when I first encountered YIJU and Pauline. My first impression came from reading an article in the magazine and thinking: wow, how much time and money must have gone into collecting the material, organising it, laying it out and writing it! Since then, I have read every issue carefully, because I can deeply appreciate the care behind every article. Pauline truly spares no expense in making this magazine excellent, providing the best and most practical knowledge to Chinese people in property and construction. Now that YIJU has published issue 20, I hope it will always stay true to its founding purpose and continue to be the best YIJU it can be!
