On August 16, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton made it clear that he and his staff strongly supported keeping the Phoenix Chinese Cultural Center in its original location, in its original location, and that he would contact the new owner of the Chinese Cultural Center to try to achieve a win-win situation.

Phoenix City Mayor Greg Stanton used the lunch time to communicate with Mr. Yu Wenjin, a senior overseas Chinese leader of the Save the Chinese Cultural Center Organizing Committee, and nine other representatives on the protection of the Chinese Cultural Center. The representative of

used a professional PPT to introduce the unique position of the Phoenix Chinese Cultural Center among Chinatowns in the United States. As the fifth largest city in the United States, we are very lucky to have such a gift. The raw materials that have been processed and polished for more than half a century have traveled across the ocean to come here. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen have used thousands of years of technology to inlay such a work of art on the land of Phoenix. The design and placement of each landscape have stories and details. It has become one of the attractions for tourists from all over the world to visit Phoenix. Friends visiting Phoenix saw this iconic building on the plane. Dozens of historical photos show the love of local children, newly married young people, and twilight old people for the Chinese Cultural Center. It is a base for Phoenix youth to learn Chinese and Chinese cultural education. It is a popular place for young people to take wedding photos, and it is also a good place for old people to take a walk and exercise.

What moved the mayor even more was that in a short period of time, more than 5,000 people signed a letter and many heartfelt messages about preserving the Chinese Cultural Center. The mayor immediately realized that this building touched the hearts of thousands of Phoenix citizens. He also saw the determination of more than 250 citizen representatives to petition despite the scorching heat on August 13. We told the mayor that we spent less than 24 hours preparing the last petition. This is the Chinese historical and cultural heritage of Phoenix and our roots. All friends who love Chinese culture will protect the Chinese Cultural Center as much as they protect life. Now there are no more 5,000 people supporting us. More and more signatures are passed on hand by hand. Every family, every father and mother ask friends and colleagues to sign a joint letter at work, and the children bring it to school for teachers and classmates to sign a joint letter to support! Countless volunteers entered the signatures at night until early in the morning... Only then did everyone see that the number of our signatures continued to rise. In the history of Phoenix, we have never expressed our demands so loudly, and we have never been so serious!

The new owner of the Chinese Cultural Center has begun to brush off the Chinese red on the big pillars! Today we want to shout for our children, our children and grandchildren! Keep the Phoenix Chinese Cultural Center in the same place, in the same place, as it is! On August 20, at 4:45 pm, the rally call to protect the Chinese Cultural Center in Phoenix was sounded! A larger petition will be held at the Chinese Cultural Center to continue to put pressure on the owners and let the media know our determination to protect the cultural center. Bring your family, friends, and all the friends who love Phoenix, and we will see you there!
