Wednesday, 2 May 2007, BYU-Hawaii will premiere the movie, "Not One Less," featuring Wei, Minzhi , a current student. The premiere is a pre-tour event in connection with the BYU-Hawaii Concert Choir, which leaves for China and Mongolia 7 May. The tour celebrates 25 years of friendships with the People's Republic of China and Mongolia.
BYU-Hawaii faculty, students, and staff, as well as the general public, are invited to the showing which will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the McKay Auditorium.
