Twelve expatriates will be honored with the "China Made Beautiful Because of You" award, instituted jointly by Tianjin TV and Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV.
The 12 have been chosen from the 100 featured in China Right There, a Tianjin TV bilingual documentary on expatriates in China, some of whom have been living here since 1949.
The awards will be given out on Nov 14 in Beijing by representatives from the United Nations, leaders of China's major diplomatic institutions and overseas Chinese who have made outstanding contributions in their respective fields.
The ceremony will be broadcast live on Tianjin TV, Phoenix TV Chinese channel, as well as European channel and American channels.
