Phoenix City Xunhuai: Serving the overseas Chinese community is not a career of flowers and applause Author: Xuhuai Serving the overseas Chinese community requires good quality and cultivation. Because serving people requires a spirit of selfless dedication. Many people think that serving overseas Chinese communities is a cause of flowers and applause. In fact, it is a long and arduous task. (1) You must have strong faith and willpower. Believe in your beliefs and do not give up your goals easily. Even if you encounter various setbacks, never give up. Myanmar's democratic hero Aung San Suu Kyi, in order to fight for the country's independence, planned to implement a democratically elected government and shed her blood. She silently endured house arrest for more than ten years, and she was able to sacrifice her family and remain unyielding. It was because of her belief in peace that she won the Jobel Peace Prize. (2) Have a wise heart and affinity. A wise heart is the sublimation of intelligence. How the wise heart makes correct judgments according to the development laws of things. Do things with a fair heart and not based on your own needs. As the saying goes: Those who have attained the truth will be helped a lot. Those who are unjust will have little help. Be kind to all living beings and treat others with a normal heart. Only then will you not worry about gains and losses. We must have a correct attitude towards dealing with others. Don't be arrogant, and don't belittle yourself. There is an equal relationship between people. As the leader of an overseas Chinese community, you must be humble and courteous. (3) You must be tolerant and patient. Let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend! As an overseas Chinese leader, you must have the magnanimity to accept all rivers, and magnanimity determines height. We must also learn to be tolerant when dealing with politicians who are different from others, and do not be ruthless like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Retaliation using unscrupulous means is even more undesirable. Even the enemy has something to learn from. Often, political opponents are a mirror that reflects our true colors. Politicians can also balance and restrict each other. Let him have three feet, so why not. (4) It is necessary to improve personal self-cultivation, speak appropriately, and avoid using harsh words. The amount of reading has little to do with self-cultivation. Some people are rich in knowledge but have bad morals. The master of Tzu Chi did not study much since he was a child, but he has profound cultivation and compassion. As an overseas Chinese leader, you are the object of everyone's attention, and you should set a role model for everyone in terms of personal cultivation, words and deeds. In public places, you should be polite, sincere, gentle in speech, and well-dressed to have a leadership style. (5) We must abide by the rules of ordering the elders and younger ones in the overseas Chinese community. Things in nature change and the stars change, and everything in the human world is orderly. Overseas Chinese communities also have a gradually formed community order. Respecting elders and seniors is a compulsory lesson. Don’t overstep the system in a hurry for quick success. The Chinese groups in Phoenix also have a big family style in which elders and younger ones are organized in an orderly manner. Mr. Yu Wenjin is our patriarch. Worthy of our trust and support. Serving the overseas Chinese community is an attitude of surrender and a spirit of sacrifice. In addition to donating time, physical energy and money. Those volunteers who work silently for society, like Ruan Geming (Yu’s mother), whom everyone respects, are worthy of everyone’s flowers and applause. Serving the overseas Chinese community is hard and difficult, and you have to deal with a lot of gossip. When mistakes are made while serving the overseas Chinese community, everyone should help him/her correct them in time so that he/she can get back on track. As an overseas Chinese leader, you must have a vigilant heart. To jointly build harmony among Chinese and overseas Chinese groups in Arizona. The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard, and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
