Supporting the patriotic tradition while demonstating Chinese culture
By Hesung Huang
Good morning,distinguished guests and friends!
In China, the month of May is regarded as a particular time. At this time Chinese say while we hear birds singing and dancing we can smell the fragrance of the dumplings(zhongzi). We are now gathering here to show our traditional Chinese culture and display our patriotic tradition. In this way we celebrate one of our traditional festivals--Dragon-boat Festival. We warmly welcome our distinguished guests and friends.
In the past 9 years since our society ‘s establisment, we have adhered to serving the middle-aged and elderly Chinese folk in Hamilton. We have enjoyed ourselves by singing and dancing together while we have also shown our culture to the public. We have contributed to the public while serving our members. We have cared and learned about each other. We have also developed our understanding about all that is New Zealand and sought to enhance New Zealand - China friendship. The community, of which we are a part, welcomes and appreciates our contributions. We know it is only with your help and support that we have achieved so much. I sincerely extend my great thanks to you all.
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between China and New Zealand. We are happy for the growing consolidation of New Zealand-China friendship. We are proud of our motherland becoming increasingly prosperous. We seek to build relationships with all ethnic groups to develop unity and celebrate our diversity. Thus we can help build a peaceful, healthy, jubilant, friendly and harmonious New Zealand.
Lastly we wish everyone here good health and happiness. We hope you’ll enjoy our festival celebration! Thank you!
