Last month, reporter Katie Simpson brought us the story of how students at City College of San Francisco are working to save Cantonese language classes. Cantonese was at risk of being cut indefinitely because of budget cuts and students organized.

Since that story aired, the college’s Board of Trusteesvoted unanimously to approvea plan to save the presence of Cantonese language at City College. It’s a victory for students like Julie Quon, but is she satisfied with this development? Hana Baba called her up to ask.
