Sun examines dishes catered by Lotus Garden during the IU Chinese Students and Scholars Association’s spring festival celebrations in February this year. Sun and his business partners support the IUCSSA financially and are thus able to advertise the restaurant through many of the student organization’s events. Sun said he thinks his entrepreneurial endeavors and success pave a way for other students. “I think some students like to admire me, because they also can imagine a student like them can open a restaurant and do so authentic traditional food here,” he said.
