5/17/203星期三日记  领奖过后 把奖盃献给母亲


今年母亲节前夕,正值美国五月亚美节。休斯敦地区亚美太平洋协会举办盛大庆祝餐会,并在年会上颁赠给我年度[杰出企业奖 ],表彰美南新闻对社会之贡献。受奖之餘 ,我也感触万千,正逢今年之母亲节,我一定要把这座奬献给已在天堂的母亲 。她的恩赐勇敢改变了我们李家之命运 ,如今能在这块土地上安身立命,六位姐妹兄弟继续為社会服务 ,相信也是母亲节对母亲最好的慰藉。


在我的孩提时代 ,曾经生活在无电无自来水之极度贫乏之地带 ,母亲当年带着三个孩童及婴𠒇在中国和缅甸的野人山沟裡演出了寻夫记 ,当我们和父亲重逢时 ,到处是战火纷飞,在我的幼小心𤫊中,一直萌生对环境之不满 ,為什麼我们会如此困穷?


从懂事以来 ,父母对我溺爱有加 ,所幸在他们的坚持下,我以十二岁之童年就离家到城𥚃读书, 离开了那块荒凉无电缺水的难民村。


我从那天开始立志自立自强 ,深知父母為我的学费缩衣节食 ,我一定要加倍努力,有一天能衣锦还乡。


数十寒暑转瞬已逝 ,父亲也因壮志未伸,英年早逝 。所幸母亲晚年来到美国 ,享受天伦之乐 。只要母亲有任何表示 ,我们姐妹兄弟从不说不,母亲最后是在华盛顿大妹家走完了她的人生 ,我们把两佬安葬在华府近郊之墓园安息。


每思至此或午夜梦廻 ,对父母未能尽到更多之孝道 ,也会黯然泪下。


今晚我要把这座水晶奖座在母亲节时献给母亲 ,因為她改变了我们的命运……..



My Thoughts After Receiving The Outstanding Corporate Achievement Award


Before the eve of Mother’s Day, the Asian Pacific Heritage Association APAHA held a grand banquet and presented me with the 'Outstanding Corporate Achievement Award' to recognize the contributions of Southern News Group to society. 


In this Mother’s Day time, I would 

like to give this trophy to my mom in  Heaven because her bravery changed the fate our Lee family's life. Until today, our six sisters and brothers   who came to America are still serving the community in the mass communications media business. 


When I was just a child, I used to       live in an extremely poor area with    no electricity or running water. My      mom took us three kids and left our hometown and searched for her husband and our papa in Myanmar. Even after we got back together with my dad, the war still going on. 


Since I was a kid, my parents spoiled me. Fortunately, they insisted on letting me continue my schooling. I left home when I was twelve years old and went to a different city to continue my middle school studies.


Since that day I have been determined to be independent and have redoubled my efforts to do my very best for all our family. 


Many decades later we finally came   to America. My father passed away   in the early sixties and my mom came to join us in her later years to enjoy the joys of family. As long as my mother asked our sisters or brothers for anything, we never said, "NO."


My mom spent her final days in Washington, DC, with our younger sister Jing and older sister Lily.


Now both of our parents are resting together at a location near the Potomac River.


Every time I think about them,  especially close to midnight time, I will cry thinking that I cannot do more filial piety for them.


I am going to dedicate this award to my mom on Mother’s Day because she changed my life.
