Traditional overseas Chinese celebrate the Double Ten Festival Zhang Zhaohong The overseas Chinese in the United States celebrate the Double Ten Festival as early as 1911, the year of the Revolution of 1911. Sun Yat-sen, who said that "overseas Chinese are the mother of the revolution," has long used the United States as a base to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. He traveled around to promote the revolution and raise funds. Overseas Chinese, including those in the United States, donated more than 10 million U.S. dollars. In January 1912, Sun Yat-sen returned from the United States to serve as the interim president. Overseas Chinese across the United States celebrated the founding of the Republic of China with singing and dancing. In 1943, President Roosevelt regarded the Republic of China as an ally and proposed and approved the abolition of fifteen harsh anti-Chinese regulations in the United States over the past sixty years. Chinese began to immigrate to the United States again. With the increase of overseas Chinese, the scale of Double Ten celebrations also increased year by year. Especially in the 1960s and 1970s, the government's situation in the United Nations became increasingly difficult, and it strengthened ties with overseas Chinese in various places and provided various substantive assistance to overseas Chinese communities for a long time. According to the collected information and photos, in the 67th year of the Republic of China (1977), the Consul General of the Republic of China in California, Mr. Fan Daozhan, visited Phoenix City. Taiwan's "China and Foreign Magazine" reported the following that year: "There were more than a hundred people at the spring banquet, and they were seated in the "Shanghai Restaurant", which is famous for its exquisite cuisine. There were eleven tables in the banquet, and the skirts and skirts were dancing together, and blessings were shouted in response to each other. The Chinese and foreign people attending the meeting today are all local backbones, experts and scholars, with the most important reputation, and they are really celebrities. Fan Daozhan The Consul General traveled all the way to express his condolences to the overseas Chinese compatriots on behalf of the government. There were also Deng Xinping, an old overseas Chinese and a famous lawyer; Ms. Zhang Ling, one of the first Chinese to arrive in Phoenix City since the founding of the state, Lin Moqing, a famous lady, DeConcini, Dino.Dennis The government officials of other states and cities are humble people who are eager for our country's culture and are unfailing friends of the Republic of China. After the meal, a film called "Forbearance" provided by the consulate was shown, which showed the story of General Cai E's second revolution to overthrow the Yuan Shikai monarchy. " Due to the close relationship between the state and Taiwan, the national government has sent officials and condolence groups to visit the state in successive years, including the Chinese Dance Troupe, the Youth Visiting Group, the Guanghua Consolation Group, the Huaxia Visiting Group, the National Taiwan Arts School, the Good Music Children’s Choir, the Su Wenqing Ensemble, etc. Information, stills, and banners have been preserved. The Lions Club International held its world annual conference in Phenomenal and took a large number of historical photos. At that time, the government allocated US$10,000 to the Phenomenal Overseas Chinese Federation as a fund to celebrate the annual conference. Overseas Chinese communities have long held activities to celebrate the Double Ten Festival. The following "A Word of Profound Meaning" is a speech made by Fang Huixian, the three-term chairman of the Feinian Overseas Chinese Federation, during China Week in 1994, when he welcomed Zhang Qingyan, director of the Taiwan Liaison Office in Los Angeles: (Excerpt from "Chinese News" of that year: "Our overseas Chinese living in the United States have received strong support from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission of the Government of the Republic of China for decades, which has enabled the Chinese Welfare Association in the United States to use smart Chinese lawyers in Beijing to fight for immigration quotas, which has helped Countless overseas Chinese family members, children, brothers, and relatives immigrated to the United States from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and other places to reunite with their families and find a new life. If overseas Chinese in the United States suffer any unreasonable discrimination or insult, they also have the opportunity to appeal in the United States and Beijing.’) 99% of Chinese schools in cities in the United States are financially supported by the National Government. Teacher seminars are held in Taiwan every year to train representatives sent by overseas Chinese schools so that they can carry forward Chinese culture when they return to their places of residence and educate young Chinese children so that they can understand and understand the fine traditions of the Chinese people and proudly serve as the descendants of the dragon in the United States. The committee established a cultural and educational center to facilitate and assist overseas Chinese schools, supply teaching materials and even teachers. In order to encourage Chinese people to participate in politics, the Overseas Chinese Committee also spent a lot of energy and money to invite young Chinese to return to the country to study, with the purpose of consolidating the status of the Chinese in the United States. The above mentioned are only part of the good things the Overseas Chinese Committee has done for us overseas Chinese in the United States over the years. Since the establishment of the Chinese Literature and Art Society in 1983, there are currently five Chinese schools in the city, and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council has never stopped supplying teaching materials and books. When the Feinian Chinese School was being prepared four years ago, it donated US$70,000 to the Overseas Chinese Federation; every year, the China-American Science and Technology Association awards scholarships to Chinese students and invites many Chinese to return to China for study. In order to help improve the status of the local Chinese in American society, a lot of preparation funds are provided for China Week every year. This year, the Linglong Dance Troupe was sent to support the China Week program. We only hope that China Week will be held successfully in front of Americans. The National Government has spent a lot of effort and money on behalf of the Chinese in this city, but it has never asked for any conditions in return. The purpose is just like parents caring for their children. We will bear in mind the deep love and kindness of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission for the Chinese in this city. No matter what we say with our mouths, the status deep in our hearts will always exist.
