市府主計長首先慶祝華人農曆新年之來臨

休斯敦市政府主計長荷萊週五中午在市府大廳舉辧慶祝農曆新年招待會,迎接蛇年之到來,他在賀詞中盛讃我們是一個多元族裔的社區,我們共同慶祝農曆新年之到來,有着特殊之意義。

我們深深為主計長之談話感到欣喜,他是當前少數政府官員能夠出面慶祝華人之節日,也充分说明我們華裔社區對社會之影響力。

是的,我們就是一個移民之國家,大家到這片土地来尋求美國夢,我們把斯土視為家園,許多人奉獻青春為國家之繁榮富強盡力,當然我們就是這個國家的主人。

非常感謝主計長對社區之關怀, 他說早年曾在北京學習中文，他必然會體驗到中華文化之博大精深,他的胸懐说明他的政治前途必然光明。

City Controller Chris Hollins Is The First To Celebrate The Arrival Of The Chinese Lunar New Year

Chris Hollins, City of Houston Controller, celebrated a Lunar New Year reception at City Hall Friday afternoon to welcome the arrival of the Chinese New Year, Year of the Snake. In his congratulatory speech, Hollins praised the fact that we as a multi-ethnic community celebrate the arrival of the Lunar New Year together, which has carries a very special significance.

We are deeply pleased with the speech of the City Controller. He is one of very few government officials who have come forward to celebrate the Lunar New Year, which fully illustrates the influence of our Chinese community on the modern society.

Yes, we are a country of immigrants. Everyone came here to seek the "American Dream." Many people have devoted their young lives and careers to build this nation together. Of course, immigrants are the masters of the nation.

Hollins studied in Beijing in his early years and he definitely experienced the depth of the Chinese culture during that time.
