About this listen

It was the late 1980s, and Thomas Fung had a dream. The son of a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, Fung moved to Canada as a teenager, and had built a successful mix of bakeries and office complexes.


But Fung looked at the city of Richmond, and made a bet that people would want something that, at that time, didn’t exist.


A big modern mall in the middle of the city, and one that would be modelled not after the other malls in Metro Vancouver, but one that would attract the city’s growing Asian population.


35 years later, its influence is felt across the city.
