    Mei Walker came to Australia in the late 1980s, having grown up in the Zhejiang Province, China during the Cultural Revolution. When Mei moved to Lake Macquarie in recent years, she was instrumental in opening a local branch of the Australian - Chinese Friendship Association, of which she is the president. In 2015, the association hosted Chinese New Year Celebration Events in Speers Point Park, a successful event which she hopes to continue annually. Although Mei still misses her family and friends, she enjoys life in Lake Macquarie. Mei participated in the 2015 Harmony Day Project, which celebrated the diversity and strong sense of community our migrant population have contributed to in Lake Macquarie.
