Bagpipe friends are on vacation in Phoenix. The Alberta Times In the glorious month of May, Fengcheng welcomes friends from far away. The person in charge of this newspaper's bagpipe page, flutist Ron Whalen from Chicago, and his wife came to the West for a vacation this time. Along the way, I was warmly welcomed by the Di brothers and sisters. Arriving in Phoenix on the 14th, in addition to meeting the bagpipe members, Rong Huilun and his wife also visited the newspaper's editor-in-chief, Zhang Zhen, and presented the new work "Art and Literature" by Vietnamese-Chinese Los Angeles female writer Liang Liuying and the new work "Gathering" by Phoenix poetry writer Wen Riqiang to the president, the newspaper's chief writer Shaojun, and editor-in-chief Sun Jianping respectively. In the evening, the guests and hosts gathered together at the Luk Fook Restaurant, and happened to watch the famous performer Cai Galliang's musical talk show held at the Luk Fook Restaurant to celebrate Mother's Day. The Bagpipe Association is a poetry writing group organized with Vietnamese Chinese as the core and has spread throughout the century. Currently, this team continues to grow, and writers are no longer limited to Vietnamese Chinese. The "Bagpipe Phoenix Page" is a special page they create for this newspaper once a month. In this world where materialism prevails and fast culture prevails, it is truly precious that they have persisted in carrying forward the essence of Chinese classical literature and persisted in creative exchanges for several years. The flute player Qi Ruhong, who lives in Phoenix City, made a small appearance at the cultural evening party that night. He participated in a guest singing performance, and Rong Huilun and Wen Riqiang came on stage to cheer him up. The happy guests of honor spent an unforgettable evening together.
