美國新冠疫情日誌5/11/2020 爱心必可战胜野心

     愛心必可戰勝野心

周末再次看見數百個困苦移民家庭從市長泰納及好友雷蒙手中收到了生活救濟品，心中油然升起無限的感動，雷蒙是位生長在緬甸的印度人，早年來到休斯敦，是位難民，他經營的電訊業最近也關門了，在此艱困之經濟環境下，他還是不忘苦難同胞，慷慨解囊救助失業鄰居，度過難關。

今天也接到一位猶太裔麥特之郵件，告訴我他正在爲猶他人社區中心募款，麥特曾經在上海居住多年，深愛中華文化並說一口流利的普通話，近年來也經營白酒生意，經常在大家的宴會中出現。

正當包括休斯敦華亞裔在內的全國各大城市已經不斷發起捐獻醫療物資及送午餐之活動，也爲貧苦家庭學生捐贈平板電腦 、衣物用品，這些義舉正在社會各階層熱烈進行中。

看看今天世界政治舞台上，多少政客滿口謊言，不顧民間疾苦，爲了維持政權，不擇手段，令人髪指。

我們大家有責任更有權利把這些政客送進曆史，來重建家園，把溫暖送給你的左隣右舍，每個人都給社會貢獻一份力量，愛心必將戰勝野心。

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.
