  • Who exactly is this legendary figure? What drove her to abandon everything in the United States and come to China to herd cattle? What was her ultimate fate? Joan Hinton (Han Chun) was once a scientist involved in the American atomic bomb research project. Due to a collapse in her faith and an attraction to Chinese communism, she gave up everything to come to China, where she and her husband Sid Engst devoted themselves to dairy farming. With firm belief and determination, she worked hard to provide milk for Chinese children, ultimately becoming China's first green card holder. Han Chun's story is a legend about ideals and faith, as she used her life to pursue new ways of living and contribute to human welfare.
    Is this true? Dear viewers! Welcome back to our channel! We are delighted to engage and discuss today’s topic with you: 1. What was the biggest challenge Han Chun faced in giving up everything in America to come to China? 2. What specific innovations and contributions did she and her husband make in dairy farming? 3. What factors led to the collapse of Han Chun's faith?
    Now, let's delve into this legendary story in three parts. First, "The Shattering of a Dream."
    What an incredible surprise! From researching the atomic bomb to becoming China’s first green card recipient, this legendary woman known as Han Chun was originally named Joan Hinton, born in 1921 in a literary family in Chicago. Her family background was extraordinary. Her grandmother, Ethel Voynich, was a literary giant of her time, famous for her work "The Gadfly," a story filled with passion and a yearning for freedom. Her grandfather was a luminary in mathematics, enjoying high esteem in the academic world due to his exceptional intellect and insights. Growing up in such an environment, Joan Hinton was exposed to a rich cultural atmosphere from a young age. Her parents were well-educated intellectuals, and the family bookshelves were filled with various books, ranging from classical literature to modern science. They lived a prosperous and cultured life, often teaching Joan to be knowledgeable, pursue truth, and value education.
    Joan grew up in this environment, inheriting her family’s literary and scientific talents while developing her unique personality and insights. Her name "Han Chun" seemed to foreshadow her resilient and explorative spirit. Despite facing countless challenges and changes throughout her life, she always adhered to her ideals and kept moving forward.

    She is truly an amazing woman who pursued truth & goodwill for mankind. In her small way she contributed greatly to help China becomes what it is today. It will be more enlightening if you detail how she was chosen to be the first green card recipient of China.

      Yes. I'm surprised there is such a thing as a "green card" for China. Do they actually call it a "green card" ?

    the irony is that... if not for a chinese female foreign student the west could not have made the a-bomb, cause she was the first person that was able to process uranium safely, but her name was never mentioned in any western movies...

    Descendant was answered below: She had two sons, Bill and Fred Engst and a daughter, Karen Engst. Her children have moved to US, but her elder son Fred Engst moved back to Beijing in 2007 as a professor at the University of International Business and Economics? . In her photo, she bears some resemblance to Ingrid Bergman, one of the finest and adorable actress of all times. I hope China will memorialize her life so she will not be forgotten.
