我見 我思 我聞

疫情之後 重返華府

今天清晨從休斯敦搭乘聯航飛往首都華盛頓，久違了整整十八個月因疫情關系沒有回來，對許多人而言，頗有刧後餘生之感。

這已經是三十多年前的往事了，當我和弟弟著華初次走在華盛頓特區的中國城，對於那棟高挑狀觀的中國城牌樓，印象深刻， 生活和在此的華人同胞非常勤奮地把華埠経營的有聲有色，當年在華埠一言九鼎的李叔在中華公所接待我們，對於這對年輕李氏兄弟之到來，寄予厚望和幾分懷疑，要在首都辦一份華文社區報有點天方夜譚。

多少年來，我們總算走過來了，為我們拔刀相助的李叔己辭世，他的慈祥和藹的笑容還是永存在我們心中，除了感恩，還是感恩。

接待我的幾內亞駐美楊森大使即將回國述職，他告訴我說，幾內亞大使館歡迎我的加入。

人生的際遇有時難予預測，有時我也會想是否應該在世界政治首善之區游走，在人生旅途再添有意義的篇章， 多年來， 我們立足於傳媒工作，看盡了政壇上的風云變化， 仰天長嘆， 為歷史留下注腳，也不枉費此生了。

I Am Back In The Nation’s Capital

Today a United Air airliner brought me back to Washington, DC, the nation’s capital. This is the first time I have come back to DC since the coronavirus pandemic began.

Almost thirty years ago when my brother Dan and I walked through the DC Chinatown, we remembered Uncle Lee who was the one who greeted us at the Chung Wah Association. He was not just a pioneer in Chinatown. His leadership brought many dedicated Chinese Americans to town. They all worked so hard to make Chinatown a great tourist spot in the nation’s capital. The beautiful and colorful Chinatown Gate and under it a lot of businesses and many tourists taking photos and shopping and dining. Uncle Lee passed away years ago but his friendly smile is always in our hearts.

Today when I visited Chinatown again, all the streets have been changed to a big sports complex and new shops, but the gate is still shining and bright.

I am back in DC to visit the Guinea Ambassador Yansane. He will go back to Africa soon and talk about our trade mission.

I love being in Washington DC, the power capital of the world. Maybe I should spend more time here and continue to pursue my dream.

The world is changing and so do the politics. We are so fortunate to be a media person. We can witness so many politicians who travel up and down in their careers.
