我生命中最難忘的日子

紀念美南新聞之誕生


就在四十三年前的六月十六日中午, 在德州休斯敦一百零五度的盛暑下, 我從一輛已使用過十五萬英里的小本田車上搬下了第一期出版的美南新聞週報, 油墨未乾沾滿雙手, 非常興奮地走進了狹小的辦公室向妻子及同事們出示第一份報紙,  誠如喜獲麟兒之激情, 開始了我們漫長艱辛而又高潮迭起的媒體人生涯。


數十年之寒暑, 我們一直堅持決不向現實低頭的毅力, 每天淸晨五時, 我準時起床,预備今日要完成的工作項目, 我手中握有清單, 當我晚上回家時, 一定要完成大部分之工作, 數十年如一日, 我們几乎從未鬆懈, 每當我回想起童年時之苦難日子以及父母之殷切期盼, 我沒有任何理由退縮不前。


今天,我們在美南新聞新媒體中心, 迎來了眾多的賓客和友人 ,他們多年來不斷地支持和愛護美南新聞 ,這份热情是支持我們前行之最大動力。


再次回忆童年時,側眠在父親身旁,共讀報紙之往事, 在我幼小之心靈中已經植下對傳媒事業之幼苗 ,父親早已歸天 ,每思至此仍會盈淚滿頰, 父親在天之靈冥冥中鼓勵和保佑我們前行。


道不孤, 必有鄰, 美南傳媒在過去之發展過程中, 我們多角經營之理念, 從傳统走現代, 為海外華文媒體之工作繼續奮鬥。


世界紛爭不斷 ,疫情蔓延未止 ,通貨膨脹嚴重 ,槍擊氾滥,治安敗壞, 我們曾經歴各種災難, 然而必須要「處變不驚, 同舟共濟」,坚信未来必然會否極泰來 ,國泰民安。





Commemorating The Birth Of Southern News Group

 

The Most Memorable Day In My Life

 

Forty-three years ago, in the early afternoon, under the 105 degree summer heat in Houston, Texas, I unloaded the first issue of the Southern News weekly newspaper from a small Toyota truck that I had driven over more than 150,000 miles. The ink was still fresh and stained my hands black. I was very excited as I walked into my small office to show it to my wife Catherine and to all my colleagues. This moment marked the beginning of our media career.

 

After decades of hot and cold weather all over the nation and many ups and downs, we have always insisted on the perseverance of not bowing to reality. 

 

Every day at 5:00 am I get up on time to prepare for work and list all the items that must be completed that day. Then I have a list in my hand when I come home at night to check that I have finished most of my work. I have no reason to retreat from the hardships and the eager expectations that my parents faced. We have ushered in many guests and friends through our media center over the years. Today they still support and care for Southern News. For many years this kind of uplifting spirit is the greatest motivation that continues to support us and keeps us moving forward. 

 

When I remember and look back at my childhood, I still slept sideways and am still reading the same newspaper with my dad. Many years ago, I planted the seeds for my media career in my young heart. With every thought of how far we have come, I will still burst out into tears. My dad encouraged and blessed us to move forward in the spirit of Heaven. 

 

“The road is not lonely, there must be neighbors.” Over the last several years our innovation has changed the way we do our business. We always have adapted to new challenges and continue to be one of the best full-service media companies. 


Today the world is in chaos: inflation, the pandemic and shooting tragedies are around all of us, but we still need to work together for our future.
