Stray bullet ended father's dreams of building a new life for
his family
By Anthony
REINHART with a report from Cassandra
DRUDI,
Page
A1
In a neighbourhood nicknamed "airport" for all the Chinese newcomers
it attracts,
MAO
Hou
Chang had fast become a fixture on the sidewalks
of Gerrard Street East, building his new life one orange at a
time.
He could be found there most days, pointing customers to the
best fruit in his bins in front of the Fu Yao Supermarket, a
teeming hub for shoppers in Toronto's East Chinatown.
Thursday evening was no different, until just after dark. In
the place where he made his modest living, Mr.
MAO wound up dead
in a blast of gunfire meant for someone else. A stray bullet
hit him in the torso.
The death of 47-year-old Mr.
MAO, the second killing of an innocent
bystander in less than a week, sent a fresh wave of exasperation
across Toronto, whose stone-faced mayor, David Miller, visited
merchants before renewing his call for a federal handgun ban.
It also echoed the Boxing Day, 2005, death of Jane
CREBA, a 15-year-old
caught in a shootout as thousands of shoppers clogged downtown
Yonge Street.
Yesterday, as Mr.
MAO's killer remained unknown and police made
their presence felt on foot, in cruisers and on horseback, his
community stumbled back to work amid a swirl of bitter winds
and tough questions: Who did this? How could they? Why him?
"I think he had just come down in the front to take a look only"
when the shots rang out, said William
CHUI, who owns a bookshop
near the grocery store. "He was shot down without any purpose."
The purpose of Mr.
MAO's move to Canada two years ago was, by
all accounts, a familiar one: to build a better life for his
family. His 23-year-old son and 18-year-old daughter had joined
him in Toronto, while his wife stayed behind in Fuzhou, a city
of 2.6 million and capital of Fujian province on China's southeast
coast.
His many customers knew him simply as "Mr.
MAO," a quiet and
likeable man with a helpful streak running through his hard work
ethic.
"He's kind," said Trinh
HUYNH, a neighbourhood resident for whom
Mr. MAO would measure out lettuce into a plastic bag. "He's a
very hard worker, even cold time he'd work outside," she said.
"We're all upset," said Mr. B.
KONG, who owns a flower shop just
east of the grocery and sent a bouquet to the store just before
noon yesterday, when police gave it the go-ahead to reopen.
"It's never happened like this; this is a safe area," said Mr.
KONG,
who moved to Toronto from Hong Kong 15 years ago. "That kind
of people, they come from another area," he said, referring to
the gunmen.
Like many Toronto neighbourhoods, East Chinatown has evolved
markedly in the 30 years since Mr.
CHUI opened his bookstore,
but not in a way that would explain Thursday's brazen gunfight,
he said.
The Chinese population has shrunk to "two small clubs," mainly
new arrivals to Canada and elderly immigrants who find city living
convenient.
Gone, Mr. CHUI said, is the group in between, working families
who have fled to suburban Markham, Richmond Hill, Scarborough
and Newmarket.
As East Chinatown has shrunk, the residential streets around
it have become increasingly gentrified as young professionals
move in and start families.
At the same time, rough edges remain. Yesterday, in an alley
behind the supermarket, three young people ducked into a parking
garage to huddle around a lighter with pipes held to their mouths,
and the notorious Don Jail looms at Gerrard Street and Broadview
Avenue.
Last
October, a man who was arrested after Ms.
CREBA's
death was shot dead near the jail after visiting an inmate on
a Sunday afternoon.
Whatever the outcome of Thursday's violence, Mr.
MAO will be
missed by those who had come to know him.
Dale CHEUNG, who as president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce
spent much of his day trying to calm the frayed nerves of merchants,
spent time with him last week, and again on Thursday, just before
he was killed.
In the first instance, Mr.
CHEUNG enlisted Mr.
MAO's help in
hanging 40 red pennants from poles along Gerrard Street to mark
Chinese New Year on February 7.
"Because he's tall guy, he was good for helping me hang the banners,"
Mr. CHEUNG said, using the present tense to describe his deceased
friend, as the newly bereaved often do. "He said, 'Okay, no problem,'
" and spent two hours doing the work for no charge."
As evening fell on Thursday, Mr.
CHEUNG stopped off at the supermarket
to buy some fruit.
"He chose some oranges for me," he said. "He told me the oranges
are very good, very sweet."
With that, Mr.
CHEUNG walked down Gerrard Street to his office.
He didn't hear the shots.
"I didn't know until this morning," he said. "I'm not happy to
hear this news."
