The sunbird brought an olive branch Guangzhou Yang Qiwei The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday passed in a flash. The three days were quite fulfilling: on the 10th, I invited friends to celebrate my wedding anniversary simply and grandly at home; on the 11th, I received a group of friends from the city bureau and enjoyed the joy of friendship. On the same day, I posted a new blog and did circle management; on the 12th, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family sat together. The old and new members happily gathered together, drank and ate, admired the flowers and the moon, and spent a pleasant Mid-Autumn night. However, these are not the happiest things. What makes me happiest is that during this Mid-Autumn Festival, I received a heavy gift - the sunbird on the other side of the ocean brought me an olive branch! Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I received a call from Zhen Shuoqin, the president of the "Alberta Times" in Arizona, USA, saying that he wanted to hire me as their newspaper's special correspondent in Guangzhou. Qiangwei knew that she was not talented, so she declined the offer several times, but the president insisted on hiring her. Qiangwei was moved by the sincerity of this veteran in the newspaper industry and knew that it would be disrespectful to refuse, so she had no choice but to agree. After that, the president called Qiangwei many times to guide her on her specific work. On September 3, Deng Ling, editor-in-chief of the "Alberta Times", flew back to Guangzhou from the United States to handle related matters. After that, she called me and asked me to meet at Guangzhou Huaxia Hotel at 11:30 noon on September 10th. At noon on the 10th, I was invited to the Landmark Hotel in Haizhu Plaza, Guangzhou. In the banquet hall on the third floor, the beautiful and capable female editor-in-chief Deng Ling was already waiting there, along with some American friends who I met in Phoenix three months ago. Editor-in-chief Deng briefly conveyed the president's message to me, handed me the letter of appointment and business card, and asked me, as the Guangzhou special correspondent of the "Alberta Times", to attend the "Overseas Chinese Media Seeing Guangdong" series of activities held by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the Guangdong Provincial Government in Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Shaoguan, Heyuan and other places from September 20 to 24. "Alberta Times" is the first influential Chinese-language newspaper in Arizona, USA. It was founded in April 1990. The newspaper's 21-year running philosophy is to promote Chinese culture, enrich the spiritual life of the Chinese, enhance the political and cultural status of the Chinese in local society, help the Chinese improve their ability to live in the United States, and open up a vast new cultural world for overseas Chinese. As far as I know, the Chinese have lived in the developed Arizona desert for more than a hundred years. However, because there has been no Chinese newspaper for a long time, the Chinese in Arizona seem to be living in a "cultural desert." Thus, the "Alberta Times" came into being. The founder and president of the newspaper, Zhen Shuoqin, with his passionate Chinese heart and correct newspaper running philosophy, took "having readers" as the first goal of running the newspaper when the Times was first founded. At the same time, the newspaper is good at gathering the love of the Chinese people for Chinese culture and forming the power of running the newspaper. The newspaper has overcome many difficulties, broken through layers of barriers, and continuously expanded its writing team. Currently, the "Alberta Times" has more than 100 people including writers, poets, painters, calligraphers, special reporters, special correspondents, freelance writers, overseas Chinese leaders, and local "literary talents". Together, the "Alberta Times" has become successful step by step. The newspaper has grown from small to large, the layout has changed from simple to rich, and the number of readers is increasing. The "Alberta Times" is a Tuesday issue, published every Wednesday and Friday, with pages 16 to 20 in each issue. The current pages are divided into: "Headline News", "Chinese Community", "Local Concise News", "U.S. International News", "News from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan", "Economic Life", "Information", "Comments", "Chinese Life", "Literary Supplement", "Literature and History", "Entertainment and Leisure", "Education and Health", "Hundred Gardens" and "Advertising World". The second page of each issue has news articles from China, Hong Kong and Macao provided by Xinhua News Agency. The "Alberta Times" is located in Phoenix, Arizona. Its online version (http://www.sunbirdarizona.com) has a very beautiful name: Sunbird. According to legend, in order to save the seriously injured tenth sun that was shot to the ground by Hou Yi, the phoenix did not hesitate to burn itself and used powerful firepower to help the sun rise into the sky in order to bring light back to the world. The Nirvana of the Phoenix brings the sun back to the sky and brings light back to the world! Therefore, the Phoenix has a more beautiful name "Sunbird". On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon kissed the white clouds, and the beautiful sunbird brought an auspicious olive branch to me. I leaned on the railing and looked at the moon, bathing in the clear light, and my heart was immersed in the gentle moonlight.
