Yi Ding, a librarian at Cal State Northridge, heard about the controversy from her fellow Chinese American friends living in Arcadia. For her, seeing homeless students in higher education while she worked on textbook affordability made the issue personal. She saw there was a large amount of misinformation shared on WeChat between Chinese-speaking groups. The Xin Sheng Project — formerly known as the WeChat Project — has been a volunteer project through which Ding and the youth-led Sunrise Arcadia have been translating facts about homelessness for Chinese speakers and dispelling some of the myths being circulated.
