John Wei's American Dream As a legendary achiever, in the past 30 years he has successfully played three colorful roles in American society. In Carolina Power & Light Company and IBM Corporation, he was a senior programmer. In R.D. International Inc., he was transformed to be a real estate company's president. In the oversea Chinese American community in North Carolina, he is widely known and has been given cordial nicknames like "Old Guardian," "Chinese mayor," "Non-official representative of American-Chinese", "Messenger of the Chinese Community." He is Mr. John Wei. January 19, 2008, Mr. Wei hosted an honorable party in a Cardinal Country Club banquet in downtown Raleigh to celebrate a "Five happy events come once" celebration. That was to celebrate the wedding for his son, the birth of his first grandson, he and his wife's 33rd wedding anniversary, his retirement, and the 2008 Chinese New Year Festival. More than 160 guests were invited and happily celebrated this event. The presence of important figures made this event more like a grand ceremony.
