华亚裔团体挑战之时刻到来了

近半世纪来， 我们大家风起云涌似的来到了美利坚合眾国 ，有的是以留学生、 亲属移民、 观光商业签证 ，或跳船越过美墨高墙来到了美国。 老实说， 这块土地碓实给予我们自由和机会， 每当我走在国际区街头时，亲睹大家埋头苦干， 各种商家林立， 百业兴盛， 心中有说不出之兴奋。

 但是， 这些荣景后面已经有许多隐忧在形成中。今天美国社会在锐变中， 如果我们看看那些走进商店大摇大摆从货架上搬走物品的镜头， 因為根据当地法律只要不超过九百五十元都不在起诉之列， 多少发生在全国各地之枪击案， 孩童学生们都死於枪下， 往日金光闪耀的洛杉磯大道被无业游民们攻佔了， 暴徒们公然侵佔国会山庄， 这些乱象已经成為我们衰败的现象。

华亚裔移民被称為国家的模范生， 但是这批被视為他族的人， 因為他们之成功变成了嫉妬之对象， 对亚裔之个仇视在不断蔓延之中。我们今天要学习拉丁裔和非裔之抗争精神， 唯有和他们一起组成联合阵线，才是我们自救之道。

Our Time Of Challenge Has Arrived

Over the last more than one-half century most of us have come here from many different places including as foreign students, tourists with our legal visas, by jumping off a ship or some have came here from Mexico as illegal immigrants.To be honest, this great land gave us all a great opportunity and the real taste of freedom. Whenever I walk through the International District, I see working people wearing many hats and opening all kinds of businesses and there is great excitement in my heart. 

Today our society is undergoing a very sharp and dangerous change. If we look at TV, we now see many people just walking into stores and start removing items from the shelves and then taking them out the door because according to local law, as long as the cost of the items taken doesn’t exceed $950 dollars, the theft will not be prosecuted. How many shootings occur all over the nation almost on a regular basis? Many of them result in the deaths of innocent children because it is so easy for anyone to buy a gun today.

In the past several years, Chinese Asian people are known as models of the community because all of us work hard and obey the laws and because of our success,we have become the object of racial jealousy. The hatred of Asians is constantly showing more and more in many areas of society now.

Today the leaders from the African American, Latino and Asian comunities are working to team up and join us in our fight. We need to get help from our friends and fight for our future together.
