我见 我思 我闻

疫情之后 重返华府

今天清晨从休斯敦搭乘联航飞往首都华盛顿，久违了整整十八个月因疫情关系没有回来，对许多人而言，颇有刧后餘生之感。

这已经是三十多年前的往事了，当我和弟弟着华初次走在华盛顿特区的中国城，对於那栋高挑状观的中国城牌楼，印象深刻， 生活和在此的华人同胞非常勤奋地把华埠経营的有声有色，当年在华埠一言九鼎的李叔在中华公所接待我们，对於这对年轻李氏兄弟之到来，寄予厚望和几分怀疑，要在首都办一份华文社区报有点天方夜谭。

多少年来，我们总算走过来了，為我们拔刀相助的李叔己辞世，他的慈祥和蔼的笑容还是永存在我们心中，除了感恩，还是感恩。

接待我的几内亚驻美杨森大使即将回国述职，他告诉我说，几内亚大使馆欢迎我的加入。

人生的际遇有时难予预测，有时我也会想是否应该在世界政治首善之区游走，在人生旅途再添有意义的篇章， 多年来， 我们立足於传媒工作，看尽了政坛上的风云变化， 仰天长嘆， 為歷史留下注脚，也不枉费此生了。

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.
