About Dashan
As a television personality and cultural ambassador, Mark Henry Rowswell (“Dashan”) has used humour and a deep respect for Chinese culture to bridge perceived divides between West and East. Famed for his proficiency in Mandarin and his mastery of the traditional comedic dialogue known as xiangsheng (“cross talk”)—he is a household name to more than a billion people in China—he has used his public profile to advocate for public health and social causes. He served as Canadian team attaché for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and as Commissioner General for Canada at the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, was appointed to the Order of Canada in 2006 and was named Canada’s Goodwill Ambassador to China in 2012.
