Mary Zhang

Mary Zhang (ZHANG, Yanqi), of the Arpin China accounting team, was the longest-serving Arpin China employee and a beloved colleague of the Arpin team. She had been battling leukemia for two years and had made great strides. Getting her hair back was one big joy! But not as big a joy as being a mom to her five-year-old son, YiMing. Sadly, on Christmas Day 2022, Mary left this world at only 42 years old due to complications from Covid-19.

Mary truly was always smiling, funny, happy, and sweet — even during challenging times — but especially blissful while raving about her little boy, YiMing. Throughout it all, Mary kept a brave smile as she faced chemo and radiation treatments over the past two years. She was based in the Arpin Suzhou office but traveled to Shanghai every month and knew all of her teammates very well. In addition, she had also met both Jim Esposito, who remembers her smile and humor fondly, and David Arpin, on his visit to Arpin China in 2014. Mary was fiercely proud to have her career with Arpin and we will sincerely miss her.
