幾句心裡的話


上週六在迎接龍年新春大會上, 我和休斯敦市長惠特邁市長及二十多位政要及各族裔領袖站在表演舞台, 為大會之紅色綵帶剪綵。台下一陣掌聲和歡呼, 我在致開幕詞中說, 這是一次族群國際大家庭之大團圓, 顯示我們這𠆤多元族裔之城市正向前邁進。 市長更從高分貝之口吻表示, 這就是我們城市之面孔, 並自稱自己是精神旺盛之龍市長。


誠然過去二十八年來, 美南新聞不論刮風下雨, 我們都在春節時舉辦慶祝活動, 從未間斷 。我們始終相信在海外傳承中華文化是我們之職責 ,更是傳媒事業之重大使命。


今天我們又生活在動亂不安之世界環境, 美國國內政經變動令人難予預測, 我們必須大家抱團取暖, 相互扶持關怀和支援, 決不能让政客來分化社區之團結。


新春游園會上我們觀賞了各族社區之表演, 墨西歌手引領市長進入貴賓室, 舞龍舞獅隊伍在現埸歡迎政要及社區領袖,大家都笑顏常開 ,互道恭喜, 為巨大之會場帶來歡笑和掌聲。


多少年過去了, 母親在我十歲時就鼓勵我在沙土飛揚之操場上登台演說, 𠒇時之記憶仍然清晰, 如今我能再度登上了講台, 面對廣大之群眾, 想到已逝去的母親, 心中再次激起思念之情, 母親這支推手, 是我人生之指南。



 A Few Words From My Heart


Last Saturday at the Lunar New Year Festival to welcome the Year of the Dragon, I stood on the stage with Mayor Whitmire and many elected officials and community leaders and as we cut the ribbon opening the event,  there was a burst of applause and cheers from the audience. In my opening speech I said that, "This is a family reunion of the international family of all ethnic groups. It shows that our multi-ethnic city is moving forward." Mayor Whitmire even called himself the 'Dragon Mayor' and said that, "This is the face of our city."


It is true that in the last 28 years,  regardless of wind or rain, we have always held our annual celebration during the spring festival time. We have always believed that it is our responsibility to inherit and honor our overseas culture while moving forward in the modern age with our major mission of making a positive impact in the media industry.


At Saturday's event, we closely watched the performances of  the various ethnic groups. The Mariachi and Dragon dancers  led the Mayor to the stage and everyone was smiling and congratulating each other. This brought big waves of laughter and applause to the huge and colorful venue.


Now, many years have passed  since I was a young boy. When I was ten-years-old, my mom encouraged me to give a speech on a sandy playground. That memory is still very clear to me today. I came on stage again this past week at the Lunar New Year Festival and I really missed my mom and her wise guidance for my life. But now it seems that my mom's guidance has really served me well.
