市府主计长首先庆祝华人农历新年之来临

休斯敦市政府主计长荷莱週五中午在市府大厅举辧庆祝农历新年招待会,迎接蛇年之到来,他在贺词中盛讃我们是一个多元族裔的社区,我们共同庆祝农历新年之到来,有着特殊之意义。

我们深深為主计长之谈话感到欣喜,他是当前少数政府官员能够出面庆祝华人之节日,也充分说明我们华裔社区对社会之影响力。

是的,我们就是一个移民之国家,大家到这片土地来寻求美国梦,我们把斯土视為家园,许多人奉献青春為国家之繁荣富强尽力,当然我们就是这个国家的主人。

非常感谢主计长对社区之关怀, 他说早年曾在北京学习中文，他必然会体验到中华文化之博大精深,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.
