San Francisco's Chinatown is lit up. 3∴35686688
The lion dance team danced the lion hard, bringing the whole Chinatown into one of the most carnival scenes.
Today, the President of the Republic of China, Wang Hengyue, is about to visit Chinatown.
The president's speech on the dock conquered all the overseas Chinese. Although they have known for a long time that there is a great president like Wang Hengyue in China, now they know even more about how this great president loves his compatriots.
Only when the country is strong, the waist pole of overseas Chinese overseas can be tǐng!
Thousands of years of Chinese civilization have given birth to the greatest Chinese nation. When this civilization extended overseas, it was bullied. There was a time when China and her compatriots abroad fell into the darkest of times.
They are weak and discriminated against, and any small country that cannot be seen on the map can ride on their heads. All overseas Chinese are an inferior nation in the eyes of the locals.
However, the Chinese nation will not sink forever!
Some people say that the Chinese nation is a sleeping lion, but this is not necessarily true.
The Chinese nation has never fallen asleep. She was a dragon, but at some point, the dragon was injured and could no longer soar through the air. She hid, quietly healing her wounds in the changing times.
Now, her injuries are healed!
She could be seen in the sky again. Flying up and down, through the clouds, bringing rolling thunder and lightning!
This dragon is back!
The sound of gongs and drums suddenly shook the earth, and then bursts of cheers rang out in Chinatown. All the overseas Chinese poured out of their homes.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Wang Hengyue, the president of the Chinese nation, entered San Francisco's Chinatown!
"Long live the President!" "Long live the Republic of China", "Long live the Chinese nation!" ”
Such cries can be heard everywhere, and elated overseas Chinese can be seen everywhere. The five flags of the Republic of China can be seen everywhere.
"All Chinese in Chinatown, welcome to the visit of the President of the Republic of China!"
Several elderly overseas Chinese, with countless Chinese, said loudly together.
"Good work!" Wang Hengyue strode up to greet him: "Who is the old man?" ”
"I'm the president of the San Francisco Cantonese Association. TXT eBook Download**" The old overseas Chinese in the lead, with a strong Cantonese accent, said in an official dialect: "This is Qian Shoushan of the Fujian Association"
Led them one by one. Liang Méng Chao said: "President, we have set up a few tables for a banquet, and I would like to invite the President and all the adults to enjoy their faces." ”
"Go, go, must go." Wang Hengyue didn't think about it: "I ate lunch here today, and I want to taste if the taste of Chinese food in the United States has changed." ”
Along the way, there were welcoming overseas Chinese everywhere, and Wang Hengyue waved his hands tirelessly, paying tribute to them on behalf of the country.
Look at it. Every house was open, and every house had a banquet.
Today, it has turned into a new festival in San Francisco's Chinatown. Everybody wants to get drunk!
"This is the Chinatown phone jiāo change station, which was built by the Bank of Guangdong ten years ago, and the most unique thing is that there is a set of foreign language phone jiāo change stations inside." Liang Méng was super interested, and pointed with a little pride.
"Okay, this one." Wang Hengyue praised repeatedly: "Which one is the current president of the Bank of Guangdong?" ”
"The president, the contemptible chairman of the Bank of Guangdong, Ban Queming." A Chinese man in his forties walked out. Respectfully and respectfully.
"Ban Que Ming." Wang Hengyue was obviously curious about this name: "There was a Ban Chao in the Han Dynasty, and this surname is rare. ”
Ban Queming said with a smile: "President, Ban Chao is the ancestor of the contemptible people, and he was assigned to Guangdong from Shaanxi back then. ”
Wang Hengyue laughed "haha":
"Yes, yes, your ancestors did a lot of good things for the country back then, and they were famous military strategists and foreign jiāo families. Envoy to the Western Regions. A lot of contributions. Now, as his descendant, you must also do more for the country! ”
"Definitely, definitely." Ban Queming said repeatedly: "The first stop of the president's visit to the United States this time was San Francisco, which is a blessing for all overseas Chinese in San Francisco. Therefore, Ban Mou, together with various financial circles in San Francisco, donated US$100,000 to the president for the development of the country! ”…,
"Then I will thank you in advance on behalf of the country!" Wang Hengyue arched his hand.
"President, please!"
Dozens of tables of wine banquets have been set up on lù days, and each table is full of people. At this time, they all stood up:
"Hello President, welcome to Chinatown!"
"President, please inside."
"Inside?" Wang Hengyue looked at the inner room and shook his head: "No, it's here, it's good to eat!" ”
Liang Méng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Okay." Okay, eat out, eat out! ”
Arranged for the president and his entourage to sit down, Liang Méngchao raised his glass and said:
"The first stop of the President's visit to the United States was our San Francisco Chinatown. Let us Chinese have a lot of ambition, especially the speech made by the president on the pier. It is even more touching for us overseas Chinese. Cheers to the President, I propose! ”
"Cheers!"
Raising his glass and drinking, Liang Méngchao turned to Wang Hengyue and said, "President, can you please say a few words?" ”
Wang Hengyue stood up: "What should be said, I have already said it when I was at the dock that day, besides, you have to think, why is your president a chatterbox?" ”
"Boom", a burst of laughter sounded on the banquet table.
Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "But if you don't say it, you will say that I, the president, have put on a fight." It's really hard for this big president to be that. ”
There was another burst of laughter, and Wang Hengyue continued:
"Let's say a few words. I sometimes wonder why there are so many overseas Chinese? Is it our country that can't keep people? No. Is it that you don't love your country? Neither is it. You and your ancestors, when you crossed the ocean to a strange country, some were forced by life, and some were sold as 'piglets', but they were not out of their own intentions. If there is no way, who wants to leave their homeland?
If you come, you will come, and if you come, you will be safe. Living here with peace of mind, living a good life, and contributing to the country in this way. In the future, when you are old and want to come back, I will set up a special section to welcome you. If your hometown house is no longer there, it doesn't matter, I'll be responsible for finding a place for you to live! ”
A round of applause rang out.
This is what every overseas Chinese wants to hear, no matter where they go, they must always have a home, the United States is not their home, their home is in China, and their roots are also in China!
Wang Hengyue waved his hand: "After speaking, eat!" ”
Laughter rang out. Wang Hengyue sat down and raised his glass: "Come, everyone, today I borrow huā to offer Buddha, respect you!" ”
"Thank you, President!"
Putting down the cup, Wang Hengyue said: "How many hometown associations are there in San Francisco similar to your Guangdong and Fujian townsmen's associations?" ”
"There are dozens of them." Liang Méngchao thought for a moment: "There are many Cantonese people here, so the Guangdong Association is the largest, and then there are some provinces such as the Fujian Association that have a small number of people living in San Francisco, and the scale of the Association is much smaller. ”
Wang Hengyue nodded: "Let me give you an analogy, if something happens to the people of Sichuan and Shandong and comes to you for help, will you help them solve the difficulties?" ”
Liang Méngchao and Qian Shoushan Jiāo changed their eyes and said honestly: "We generally mainly help our own people. ”
"Oh, that's right." Wang Hengyue was deeply sinked and said: "I give you a suggestion, those people from other provinces in your eyes, they still have to help, Guangdong, Fujian, Shandong, everyone is Chinese, there are difficulties, you should lend a hand, don't divide the geographical boundaries so clearly!" ”
"Yes, the Great President has taught you."
Wang Hengyue smiled: "I'm just making a suggestion." Why are we being bullied in foreign countries? First, the country is too weak, and second, everyone's concept of province is very heavy. If something happens to someone in one place, go all out, but if something happens to someone from another province, then everyone will sweep up the snow before themselves. A plate of loose sand, of course, will make others look down on it. ”
The people on the side nodded frequently as they listened, and Wang Hengyue continued:
"It's better to work together than to go it alone. I once played an analogy with my subordinates, it doesn't matter if everyone fights in disgrace, they are still a family of brothers when they lock up mén, but if outsiders bully mén, brothers join forces and beat him up ***! ”
One sentence made everyone laugh.
Wang Hengyue took a sip of wine: "As for me, on this visit to the United States, I chose San Francisco as the first stop, in addition to coming to see you and helping you support, there is also a very important thing to do." I plan to set up a 'Chinese Rescue Association' in San Francisco to provide necessary help to all Chinese in need in the United States. San Francisco was the first to do so, and then in every city in the United States, I would start such a 'Chinese Rescue Society', which was mainly handled by our consulates in the United States. ”
Liang Méng moved suddenly: "President, this thing is really good, so that if we are bullied again, we will know where to go, this glass of wine, I have to sincerely toast you!" ”
Wang Hengyue smiled and drank a glass: "You have been bullied, the country does not stand up for you, who stands up for you?" Your own country can't be relied on, who else can you rely on? The Chinese cannot grow up at the bottom of American society, but must be twisted into a rope in the United States, form a powerful force, and play their own role, so that no one dares to underestimate us! ”
Liang Méng sighed: "When we were abroad, we heard about the toughness of the president, and when we saw it today, it was true, and since then, we Chinese overseas have a backbone." I also have a backer. ”
Wang Hengyue's answer was very firm: "Yes, I am the biggest and most powerful backer behind you!" ”
