Shanghai鈥檚 finest
Print Edition
After a monthlong campaign, the 10 winners of the 2015 Shanghai International Excellence Awards have been announced.
Shanghai Daily and International Channel Shanghai invited readers in December to nominate and vote for the expatriate who they consider to be the most influential or outstanding of the city鈥檚 international community.
A total of 32 expats were nominated for the awards, including business leaders, community event organizers, charity activists and opinion leaders. Their personal profiles were uploaded onto the Shanghai Daily website and opened to a public vote.
The last votes were cast on January 8. More than 10 million ballots were cast online that led to the selection of 10 winners.
John Cucinello, Director of Community and Service at Western International School of Shanghai, topped the list with close to 1.3 million votes. In his spare time, Cucinello runs a Saturday school where he teaches English to children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
Cucinello was followed by Joshua David Freund, an English teacher from Canada who got almost 1.23 million votes for jumping into the freezing cold Huangpu River to save an elderly Chinese man who had tried to commit suicide in November.
Other winners include Valerie Brown, director of the US Consulate鈥檚 Agricultural Trade Office in Shanghai; Sean Pang, senior consultant of CONCHIUS; Detlef Britzke, managing director of Medela China; Birendra Kumar Sah, a surgeon at Ruijin Hospital; J眉rgen Sterkau, general manager of JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai Changfeng Park; Daniela Anahi Bessia, singer and TV show host; and Luca Biagini, head of CNH Industrial China.
Shanghai Daily and ICS also launched a poll asking expats to pick the city鈥檚 top 10 news stories from 2015.
The top 10 Shanghai news stories included the city鈥檚 new rules to make it easier for foreigners to get green cards, a story on the one-child policy and reform policies regarding the Shanghai free trade zone.
