He is a towering internationalist, a true humanitarian, an old friend of the Chinese people, a remarkable person, and a leading advocate of China-New Zealand friendship. 

He went to China in 1927. For 60 years, Mr Alley worked together with the Chinese people, through thick and thin, weal and woe, and made outstanding contribution to China’s revolution and development and also the friendship between China and New Zealand.
