社评 0309 达拉斯 我们来了

达拉斯 我们来了

週三清晨我们沿着四十五号州际公路往北行， 沿路已经有春天初次绽放的花卉在路边， 风和日丽。这个令人心懭神怡的旅程， 过去多少年不知走过多少次， 但是此行确实令我兴奋和愉悦， 其中必然有许多辛酸和欢乐之泪水。

达拉斯这个南方耀眼之城市 ，我们在八十年代就结下了缘份， 美南新闻已经在此紥根。在弟妹家人和报社同仁之共有努力下， 我们和华亚裔社区一起成长， 当年那位独臂经营金门麪𠂆的老闆及几家只卖杂粹的餐馆已经进入歴史， 但是我们毅然站在新闻媒体之最前沿和这个令人振奋之南方之星城市继续前进。

今天我们和一群在此奋斗有成之华人工商人士聚集 ，在七十五号公路旁的豪华餐厅品嚐鲜美佳餚， 听到他们如何从大陆农村来到这块土地拼搏成功的故事， 他们太了不起了， 不但充分表现我华夏民族之吃苦精神， 更是华裔美人之表率。

我们在探索如何把他们也加入金融服务行列， 如何在大达拉斯地区共同开发土地及促进地方经济之繁荣， 為了迎接更多之发展 ，美南新闻集团及环球第一银行控股公司共同发起之第一届德州休斯敦环球工商博覧会，定於本年十月三十日至十一月一日在休斯敦布朗会展中心揭幕， 将為我华亚裔在美国之歷史上写下新页。

Dallas We Are Coming 

On Wednesday as we drove down Interstate 45, all along the road there were already flowers blooming for the first time in spring on the roadside. 

The seasonal wind and sun gave us  a pleasant journey. I don’t know how many times I’ve traveled this road over the past several years, but this trip really made me excited. There must be many tears of bitterness and joy. 

Dallas is a most dazzling city           

in America that we formed a relationship with in the 1980’s. Our newspaper, the Dallas Times has strong roots here. With the combined efforts of our family members and colleagues, the newspaper grew up with the community. At that time, there were only a few Chinese restaurants and one small grocery store. Many of them have since entered into history. But we resolutely stand at the forefront of the media business and continue to move forward in this exciting southern state city.

Tonight we gathered with a group of successful Chinese business leaders here to taste delicious seafood at a luxury restaurant close to the nearby Central Expressway. We heard the amazing story about how they came to this land to fight for their success.  

We were there to let them know that  the newly formed Global One Bank and Southern News Group will jointly sponsor the First Houston Global Expo to be held on Oct. 30 to Nov. 1 at Houston's George R. Brown complex and at Hilton Americas Hotel.

This event will mark the first time in history and we are all very proud of it.
