The concern that exists in Fu Bo's heart Zhang Zhaohong As the saying goes: "Only with concern can there be the weight of existence." When life comes to a critical moment, some people think about the distribution of inheritance, some people think about arrangements for wives and children, and some people think about the historical position after death. As for Mr. Chen Yingfu, an old overseas Chinese leader from Tucson, who has been through the gate of hell once, the one who lingers and worries about him is the Southwest Branch of the National Chinese Welfare Association. One day in mid-November, while watering the flowers in the courtyard of his home, Fu Bo accidentally fell due to slippery water. The 80-year-old man suffered a serious fall. His eyes suddenly turned black, he fell unconscious, and had a stroke. He was rushed to the hospital immediately for rescue. It may be that Uncle Fu is a kind man and has good karma and good results, or it may be that he still has some concerns in his heart. In his words, "I want to come back." And one thing that Uncle Fu has to do after "coming back" is to ask his daughter Cene to call President Zhen of the "Alberta Times" and ask Gao Zhizhong, chairman of the Overseas Chinese Federation, and me to go see him. On the morning of November 21, the three of us, together with Ms. Liang, a staff member of the Alberta Times, drove to Tucson to visit Mr. Forbes in the hospital. In the hospital, I happened to see General Yang Zaicun, the former commander of the Taiwan Military Police, also going to visit Uncle Forbes, so they went together. When he was young, Forbes served as a soldier and participated in anti-Japanese and national salvation activities. He was a revolutionary and passionate young man. President Zhen and Fu Bo have been old friends for many years. On behalf of the Alberta Times and the Southwest Welfare Branch, he selected a pot of the best flowers in the flower cabinet. Following Fu Bo's son who came to guide us, we came to the ward. Uncle Fu was half-sitting in a wheelchair and seemed to be in good spirits, which made us feel more relaxed. Also in the ward is Uncle Fu's wife, Aunt Fu, who is also in a wheelchair. This pair of mandarin ducks have shared joys and sorrows for decades and have five daughters and one son. The second daughter and youngest son in front of me have been waiting in front of the bed for many days. There is plenty of light in the ward and flowers are arranged. Uncle Fu saw us arriving. He was very happy, completely ignoring that he was still wearing a diaphragm, a tube, and a headgear. He excitedly took our hands and sat on the edge of the bed, and then started talking. He spoke at a speed that seemed "non-stop". His daughter Cene came to ask him "slowly" several times. , speak slowly, he is willing to listen, and as soon as he starts talking, he starts talking from the 1950s. In 1957, the U.S. Immigration Service conducted extensive searches of Chinese in the United States because they had false birth certificates. This sparked anti-discrimination riots among all Chinese. In order to fight for equal rights, Chinese representatives from all over the United States gathered in Beijing. Shi immediately established the National Chinese Welfare Federation. The following year, the Phoenix Chinese Welfare Branch was also established. Due to the united efforts of the Chinese people, the U.S. Congress finally obtained fair legislation, which revised and relaxed China's annual immigration quota from only 105 to 20,000 (plus 20,000 from Taiwan and 5,000 from Hong Kong). Since then, tens of thousands of overseas Chinese have come to the United States, reunited with their own flesh and blood, developed vitality, created a new world, and finally developed into the new situation of the overseas Chinese community today. The Southwest Chinese Welfare Branch was established in 1974 with members in Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas and New Mexico. It has a history of 35 years. Since I had often listened to Forbes' narration of the above history, he spoke incoherently that day, and I understood what he meant very well. Then Fubo said that although the current situation is much stronger than before, and more Chinese groups continue to fight for their own rights and interests, as members of the Welfare Association, we must carry forward the glorious tradition, strengthen ties with the southwestern states, and pass on the affairs of the association. It was really touching that an 80-year-old man couldn't let go of the overseas Chinese community. I quickly reported to him that we had contacted the Las Vegas branch and that the 27th joint meeting of the Southwest Chinese Welfare Association would be held in Las Vegas in January next year. Our Phoenix branch members would organize a group to attend, but the most important thing was to hope that Fu Bo would recover soon and bring the members of the Las Vegas Welfare Association to attend the meeting. We will see you there. A smile appeared on Fubo's face. He served as the secretary-general of the Southwest Welfare Branch for 24 years from 1983 to 2007. He did a lot of conference work and did many good deeds. Since he entrusted me with the task of being the secretary-general, he still often calls and writes to teach and provide information. He was an overseas Chinese leader who talked to me about the history and affairs of the Overseas Chinese Society without talking about other "workers". I was grateful for his appreciation. I told him that I don't want to be this secretary-general because I don't have your serious and conscientious spirit, but I also want to be a secretary-general like you because I can live for another 24 years. In fact, it is not easy for a person to live to the age of eighty-six in good health, and it is even more rare for an overseas Chinese leader to still be thinking about the affairs of the overseas Chinese community at the age of eighty-six. "The ancients did not see the moon today, but the moon used to shine on the ancients." Throughout the ages, the ancestors and the descendants have swept away heroes in the rolling waves of the Yangtze River. Not many good people and good deeds will be remembered by people. But as long as we have a kind heart and a charitable spirit and have served the society and people at that time, even if the moon shines brightly, we will be praised by people. We sincerely wish Uncle a speedy recovery!
