贺李金龙舞狮团成立50週年

七十年代初我们驾车从旧金山川过加州、阿利桑那州及新墨西哥州之大沙漠直奔德州休斯敦,在旧金山李氏宗长之引介下来到位於北边的李家庄拜见了李氏宗亲会创会会长李宗濂宗长，他不但招待午餐，并且热心的介绍李氏在德州之情况。当时走来了一位年青人脸上堆满笑容,李宗长介绍说,这是我们的小𠒇子李衞民，他在唸医学院,我还有一个大𠒇子他目前在史坦福大学攻读法律,这番谈话让我十分佩服,李老先生是多麼骄傲自已李家出了医生和律师。

多年来，李衞民兄不但行医有成并成立了李金龙舞狮团在全美各地表演,举着发扬和推广华裔文化之大旗，在长达半世纪之日子中踏过许多城市表演舞龙舞狮,这股精神令人敬佩。

今晚在休斯敦我和妻共同参加了李金龙舞狮团五十週年庆,来自全美及各国之嘉宾聚集近千人之晚宴五彩繽纷之舞狮舞龙表演由休斯敦三大电视台之华亚裔新闻主播分别在台上主持。

市长及许多政要皆分别发表祝词，表扬李金龙舞狮团对社区之贡献。我们要在此特别表达衞民兄对於中华文化之执着精神. 我们常称在美国出生的华人是香蕉,他们看似黄皮肤但内在确是西方人之性格.

半世纪是个漫长之旅程,李氏舞狮团过去五十年来带领了无数年青人在全美各地不断挥舞出华夏文化之风采,是我们在海外之文化堡垒，向他们致敬！

Congratulations On The 50th Anniversary Of Lee’s Golden Dragon Lion and Dragon Dance Association

In the early 1970s, we drove  from San Francisco across the deserts of California, Arizona and New Mexico to Houston, Texas. With the introduction of the San Francisco Lee’s elders, we went to Lee’s Inn Restaurant on the North Freeway and met Uncle Jimmy Lee, the founder of Texas Lee‘s Association. He not only entertained us with lunch, but he also introduced us to his son, Dr. Allen Lee, and another son who was studying at Stanford University. How proud he was to have sons who were both a doctor and a lawyer.

Over the year, Allen has not only achieved a thriving medical practice, but he has also set up    the Lion and Dragon group to perform all over the nation. Tonight, my wife and I were very proud to attend the fifty-year anniversary celebration along with more than 1,000 guests from all across the nation as  well as from other countries.

Over the last half-century, Allen has led countless young people to continuously share the styles  of the Chinese culture all over the United States. We are so proud of his accomplishment.
