我們發動「好人好事好社會」運動

两年仍未斷的新冠疫情改變了人們的社會關係和生活方式， 也正在為我們未來的發展呈現了巨大的改變 ，唯一不變的是我們需要更多的好人好事來支撑破碎的社會， 送上更多的溫暖。

居住在休斯敦地區的居民， 幾乎每天都在各大電視台看見一位年近古稀的傢俱店老板邁克，手上握著一張百元大鈔，以他鏘鏗有力的聲音高喊「為你省錢」的口號， 這幅畫面多年來深植我心。

最近因為美國中西部肯德基州遭受龍捲風侵襲， 許多人無家可归， 包括中國人活動中心在內的社團捐献了許多玩具食品送到災區， 因而我們和邁克有了許多次近距離之接觸， 發現他那股親和 慈善和行動的決心。

邁克年輕時就開設了傢俱店， 他每天上午九點準時上班， 開始親切接待客人， 他給人之印象就如你走進了親友的客廳 ，令人有賓至如歸之感， 他的敬業精神令人佩服， 每次本地或全美遭到天然災害時， 他一定伸出援手， 在他的停車埸上總會有幾輛整裝待發的货車準備向災區前進當洪水肆虐 ，市民受困 ，他開放傢俱店收容大家住宿並備有熱食和咖啡招待。

我和邁克交往几回，也熟識起來 ，每次我去拜訪他 ，他非常高興連稱李先生，您好， 我也深深為他的善心感動。

走在回程的途中 ，我對於所看到的一切 ，深感汗顏， 想想當年我們到達休斯敦時也是靠這塊土地打拼成長 ，但是我們真正能回馈社會的事實在太少了。

在今年的日程計劃上， 美南傳媒集團決心發起「好人事好社會」運動 ，我們決心在社會上發掘優秀慈善家、企業家、社會貢獻家，激起大家對社會 之關懐。

為了推動此項活動 ，我們已廣邀社區工商社團領袖， 組成籌備委員會， 近期向各界人士進行推廣。

We Launched The “Good People Good Deeds and Good Society” Campaign

The Covid-19 epidemic has changed people’s social relationships and lifestyles in the last two years and is also showing great change for our future. The only thing that remains unchanged is that we need more good people and good deeds to support a broken society.

People who live in the Houston area always have watched Mattress Mack holding hundred dollar bills in his hand and shouting the slogan, “save you money!!” on television. The picture has been rooted in my heart for many years.

Recently, because the tornados hit mid-America, many  people lost their homes. We were able to team up with the Chinese Civic Center and sent toys for Christmas to Kentucky through Mack’s trucks.

Mack opened a furniture store when he was young in Houston, Texas. He went to work in the store everyday and greeted customers. He made people feel at home to select their firniture. Every time there has been a natural disaster, he always lent a helping hand, even opening the store to let people stay overnight for those people without homes. And he even served hot meals.

After many visits, Mack knew me and he always welcomed me and said Mr. Lee you are always welcome back.

On the way back, I was deeply “ashamed” by what I saw. There are too few opportunities when we can really give back to our community.

On the year 2022's calendar, Southern News Group is determined to launch the “Good People Good Deeds Good Society “ campaign. We willfind more philanthropists and entrepreneurs in our community and stimulate them to contribute more to the community.

In order to begin this project we have invited leaders from different communities to form a preparatory committee. This is our #1 priority for the new year.
