In 2011, Ming Gor’s Pei Ho Barbecue Restaurant, providing affordable meals to Sham Shui Po’s grassroots, was on the brink of closing down. Thankfully, a TV program’s report on the restaurant turned their fate around.

In response, Ming Gor decided to devote a portion of profits towards distributing boxed meals to the homeless & elderly. To date, 1,100 free boxed meals are distributed weekly on Thursday and Saturday & 50,000 people are involved in volunteering.

Background:

Dr. Mei Gechlik is Founder and Director of Stanford Law School’s China Guiding Cases Project (“CGCP”).  Formerly a tenured professor in Hong Kong, she has been a visiting faculty member at Peking University and the University of Vienna.

Dr. Gechlik founded the CGCP in February 2011 in response to the landmark decision of the Supreme People’s Court of China to release certain Chinese court judgments as de facto binding “Guiding Cases” (“GCs”).  With support from an international team ofapproximately 200 law students, lawyers, and translation professionals, as well as an advisory board of approximately 50 distinguished experts, including justices from the U.S. Supreme Court and the Supreme People’s Court, the CGCP has quickly become the premier source of translations and analyses of GCs.  The CGCP’s knowledge-base allows users to download through its website (http://cgc.law.stanford.edu/) high-quality products for free.  These products are published in English and Chinese and include the full-text of Guiding Cases, expert commentaries, annual surveys, and subsequent cases that refer to Guiding Cases.  Identified as an “expertise support group” by the United Nations Development Program, the CGCP and its contributions have been commended by China’s Supreme People’s Court.  The CGCP has also presented at a U.S.-China dialogue on the rule of law, the Open Government Partnership Global Summit, and the World Bank, among other notable forums.

In her early years at Stanford, Dr. Gechlik founded and served as president and CEO of Good Governance International (GGI), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that promotes the core principles of good governance.  Dr. Gechlik created the China eGovernment Development Index to assess e-government development in Chinese localities.  The project was widely reported by China’s media, including the People’s Daily.

From 2001 to 2005, Dr. Gechlik worked for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Washington-based think tank.  In this capacity, she has testified before the U.S. Congress on various topics about China and has advised the United Nations and the Chinese government on implementing rule of law programs.  She also has initiated meetings, including the “Legal Reform in China” Conference, featuring such distinguished speakers as the Hon. Sandra Day O’Connor, Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Hon. Zhou Wenzhong, Ambassador of China to the United States.

Dr. Gechlik is admitted as a barrister in England, Wales, and Hong Kong and is a member of the Bar in New York and the District of Columbia.  She received her J.S.D. from Stanford Law School and her M.B.A. in Finance from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
