The design of the monument commemorating the arrival of Chinese pioneers in North America was unveiled (photo) Jia Jia 160 years ago, San Francisco was just a desolate fishing port on the edge of the vast Pacific Ocean. After the gold mine was discovered in California in 1848, a large number of Chinese ancestors went to the United States to pan for gold. They crossed the ocean and landed on the only beach in San Francisco that could be sheltered from the wind, and set out from here to make a living. This place naturally became a distribution center for Chinese workers. Over time, people have come to call this haven "China Beach". In the 1930s, China Beach was renamed "Phelan Beach" (named after former San Francisco mayor and U.S. Senator James Phelan). In order to restore the true colors of history and let history remember the contribution of the Chinese to the development of the United States, the famous overseas Chinese leaders in San Francisco, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Wuxiong, donated money and efforts, and worked in many ways. Finally, they moved the minds of the American government and the public and gained support. In the 1980s, with the approval of the U.S. Congress, this beach was permanently named "China Beach". In order to keep this rare name forever in history, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Wuxiong donated money to build a huge granite monument on the beach. The Chinese inscription is: CHINA BEACH, and the English inscription is: "Since the gold rush, this beach has been the campground of Jinshan Bay Chinese. They have worked hard to meet the needs of this young city and have helped to establish a very important industry and tradition." Due to the strict and complete legal process of naming, the words that make all Chinese proud are forever marked on the official map of the United States on the beach on the shore of the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge: CHINA BEACH. The "China Beach" stone monument stands high on the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco and has become a tourist attraction in the city. The "China Beach" stone monument also reminds history forever: The Chinese have contributed indispensably to the development of the United States! In November last year, a delegation from the U.S.-China Cultural Industry Exchange Promotion Association led by Mr. An Chengyi visited Northern California after attending the donation ceremony of the bronze statue of the world cultural great Mrs. Snow in Cedar City, Utah. At the same time, we met with many celebrities such as Mr. Zhong Wuxiong, a 92-year-old man, and Fang Li Bangqin, a social activist and successful entrepreneur living in the United States, and made a special trip to visit the "China Beach" monument. This granite stone monument stands majestically on the coast of San Francisco, where the Chinese landed in North America 160 years ago, to commemorate the Chinese sages who pioneered exchanges between the United States and China. The members of the delegation walked along the shore of the Pacific Ocean, taking a close look at the waves in the blue sea, flying kites and leaping fish, fluttering sails, and gentle breeze blowing on their faces. They also looked at the Golden Gate Bridge from a distance, with a rainbow lying on the waves, a tiger sitting on a dragon's plate, and a myriad of phenomena. There is green grass in front of the monument; snow waves are rolling under the monument. The famous Chinese sculpture artist Liu Yushan, sculptor Meng Fudan and other members of the inspection team were intoxicated by this wonderland on earth! They were inspired, conducted impromptu surveys, and came up with the idea of ​​expanding the group of statues of the struggle history of Chinese in the United States, which won praise and support from people at home and abroad. In order to implement this grand idea, Luo Yan, a local entrepreneur and secretary-general of the U.S.-China Cultural Industry Exchange Promotion Association, braved the cold winter and took annual leave for more than three months, spending money and effort to travel in the United States and China. Finally, preliminary results were obtained: the overall planning and design plan (first draft) of "San Francisco China Beach - Chinese Landing in North America Statue Monument" was finally released. This design plan stood out among several pre-selected projects: the design is majestic, graceful and vivid, with a pyramid-shaped copper cast, more than five meters high, pointing directly to the white clouds and sky; it is based on granite stone and the inscription is engraved on natural black marble. Zhong Wuxiong, Fang Li Bangqin and other senior and successful Chinese Americans who have been in the United States for half a century and senior advisors of the US-China Cultural Industry Exchange Promotion Association said: This proposal to expand the "China Beach-Chinese Landing in North America Statue Monument" in San Francisco is a feat of Chinese people-to-people diplomacy! Its commemorative significance will transcend national boundaries and politics, covering the two Taiwan Straits and the Chinese people who have integrated into American society. It will surely be recorded in the history of U.S.-China exchanges. We must do our best to gain support from the U.S. government and opposition parties so that this monument can stand majestically on the shores of the Pacific Ocean as soon as possible to honor the great contributions of the Chinese people! In the past few years, the U.S.-China Cultural Industry Exchange Promotion Association has hosted and facilitated a number of major events for U.S.-China exchanges: it successfully promoted the "WBC Heroes Competition" and Henan TV's "Martial Arts Style Enters the United States - The Showdown in Las Vegas" World Free Fighting Competition; planned and organized the bronze statue donation event of Mrs. Snow, a world cultural great and famous writer, which was highly praised by people from all walks of life in China and the West. The plan to expand the "China Beach - Monument to the Chinese Landing in North America" ​​in San Francisco is an epoch-making undertaking. It is reported that the completion of this project will take more than a year and cost more than one million U.S. dollars. Many successful companies in the United States and China have expressed their willingness to donate. At that time, relevant heavyweights from the United States and China will attend the grand and enthusiastic opening ceremony, and hold a large-scale cultural celebration party composed of first-class Chinese and foreign celebrities and a summit forum with the theme of "Green Imagination, Environmental Protection" and other activities.
