美国新冠疫情日誌5/11/2020 爱心必可战胜野心

     爱心必可战胜野心

周末再次看见数百个困苦移民家庭从市长泰纳及好友雷蒙手中收到了生活救济品，心中油然升起无限的感动，雷蒙是位生长在缅甸的印度人，早年来到休斯敦，是位难民，他经营的电讯业最近也关门了，在此艰困之经济环境下，他还是不忘苦难同胞，慷慨解囊救助失业邻居，度过难关。

今天也接到一位犹太裔麦特之邮件，告诉我他正在为犹他人社区中心募款，麦特曾经在上海居住多年，深爱中华文化并说一口流利的普通话，近年来也经营白酒生意，经常在大家的宴会中出现。

正当包括休斯敦华亚裔在内的全国各大城市已经不断发起捐献医疗物资及送午餐之活动，也为贫苦家庭学生捐赠平板电脑 、衣物用品，这些义举正在社会各阶层热烈进行中。

看看今天世界政治舞台上，多少政客满口谎言，不顾民间疾苦，为了维持政权，不择手段，令人髪指。

我们大家有责任更有权利把这些政客送进历史，来重建家园，把温暖送给你的左隣右舍，每个人都给社会贡献一份力量，爱心必将战胜野心。

Love Spreads In Our Community

Last weekend we witnessed hundreds of refugee families as they received many food and household goods from our Mayor Turner and also from my good friend Raymond Morton, the  founder of the Hawa Foundation.

I have known Raymond for many years. He was born in Burma and moved to Houston many years ago. When the coronavirus attacked our city, he had to close his door, but he still opened his heart to help many suffering poor families.

I also received an email from my Jewish friend Matt Trusch saying that he is doing a fund raiser for the Jewish community. Matt use to live in Shanghai for many years and prefers to speak Mandarin. He is in the white wine business and contributes to many charity events.

Today, along with Houston and many major cities around the country, Chinese and Asian community groups have donated large numbers of medical-related equipment worth millions of dollars. Tens of thousands of lunch boxes have been given out to front line workers along with hundreds of computers to kids in poor families. The donations still continue going on in different communities.

When we look at the world political stage, with many politicians telling lies and pointing fingers at each other, they ignore the people’s interests and only have their own political ambitions in mind.

We as the citizen of this great nation have full confidence that we need to extend our hands out to help each other and give back something to those many needy families. 

When the time comes, we need to make the right decision to rebuild our country.

May love be spread to our society.
