秋感

唐代詩人王維曾寫下動人詩詞: 空山新雨後，天氣晚來秋。 明月松間照， 清泉石上流。

秋天真的來到了,家裡後院的樹葉已在變色之中, 時光之流動顯示在大地，晈皎明月高掛天空。我們正在怀念故人親友，團圓相聚是多麽令人期待而享受之人生大事。

上週五晚上參加了休斯敦各界共同舉辦之中秋晚宴大會, 節目精彩，佳餚美酒,台上在傳統之節目和表演中，共度中秋佳節。前美國總統布希之子尼爾布希在會上表示,他父親說, 中美兩國是世界上最重要之大國，他表示中美兩國和平共存之重要性, 他說今年他已經六次訪問了中國大陸。國會議員格林也在晚會上呼籲中美兩國應加强交流，值此美國大選之前,政治家們有此言論實屬少數。

我在歡迎會上表示,對於一個移民國家而言, 華亞裔族群對美國之巨大貢獻有目共睹, 今天我們慶祝中秋佳節也是大家團圓相聚之日子，我們要團結起來對那些邪惡政客挑戰。

雖然我們如今遠走他鄉，但是我們仍然慶幸如此眾多的遊子能懷念華夏傳統文化, 今晚在此共賞高掛天空之明月。

 Autumn Feeling

Wang Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty once wrote a poem that said: "After the new rain in the empty mountain, the bright moon shines between the pine trees. Upstream of clear spring stone, Autumn has really come."

The leaves in the backyard of my house are changing their colors. The flow of time is shown in the earth and the bright moon hangs high in the sky. We all are thinking about our relatives and friends. Reunion is a great event in life that we can always look forward to enjoy.

Last Friday we participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner held by the Chinese Civic Center and many leading associations in Houston, Texas. The food was delicious and the programs were wonderful.

Neil Bush, son of former President George Bush, told the audience that his father is saying that the relationship between the U.S. and China is the most important relationship in the world and that he will follow his father’s legacy and continue to promote this important relationship in the future.

Congressman Al Green also called for a  strengthening of the relationship between the two great nations. As we draw nearer to the presidential election date, very few people are making such a comment.

At the reception, I also told the party 

that we as a nation of immigrants, have seen Asian immigrants make such great contributions and we need to be united to fight against the challenges that come from evil politicians.

We are also so happy that we never forget our transitional Chinese heritage even though we are far away from our motherland.
