Foolish article: Characters from the overseas Chinese community (8) - Deng Zengcuilan In the office building of an industrial development company in Zusun, the reporter first met Ms. Deng Zengcuilan. At that time, except for her beautiful yellow skin, it seemed difficult to tell that she was Chinese, but when we talked, it was easy to feel that she had a passionate Chinese heart. Ms. Cuilan told reporters: Her ancestral home is Chong, Taishan, Guangdong, and her husband’s ancestral home is Hulong, Kaiping, Guangdong. It turns out that her grandfather was a Chinese laborer who came to the United States to build roads in the last century; her father arrived in the United States at the beginning of this century and started a bakery and grocery business. She was born in Zusun in 1917 and attended school there until graduating from university. Due to the education she received from her parents since she was a child, she loves the Chinese nation, maintains the fine traditions of her nation, and is determined to bring glory to the nation. In 1955, while working hard in business, Ms. Cuilan began to participate in local social activities. Since then, she has been quite active in the Christian Church, the Salvation Army, entertainment, sports, culture and education, health care, diet and nutrition, women's sports, economic accounting, and the elderly association. Served as chairman of PIMA County Community College. Chairman of the Arizona Civil Service Commission, etc. Due to her enthusiasm for public welfare and outstanding achievements, she was selected as a model female citizen of Zusun City and received the "Jefferson Award" and "Rose Award" from two governors. Her achievements are listed in "Arizona's Who's Who" and "Who's Who in the World." Deng Zengcuilan has achieved one achievement after another in her career, but she has never forgotten to serve the overseas Chinese compatriots. As early as the Anti-Japanese War, she served as the chairperson of the Texas Chinese Dieting and Raising Salaries to Assist the Chinese Army Anti-Japanese War Committee. In Zusun, she has always used her position in society and influence on politics to work to safeguard and fight for the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese. She has held a variety of consultation, training and counseling activities for new immigrants, helping them find jobs, naturalize, understand legal knowledge, and solve housing problems for old overseas Chinese. Whether it is an overseas Chinese group or an individual overseas Chinese, she is always willing to lend a warm hand to anyone who has a request. During her ten years as the chairman of PIMA County Community College, she has repeatedly encouraged Chinese students to apply for admission permits and scholarships, and has won the opportunity for many Chinese young people to study. Everyone said that Ms. Cuilan was a bridge between the local Chinese and the government. In recent years, she has served as the vice president of a real estate development company in Zusun. Her career has been expanding and her workday has become increasingly busy. However, despite this, she is still enthusiastic about non-governmental exchanges between the United States and China. In 1985, she served as the vice chairman of the Zusun-Taichung Sister City Committee, effectively promoting bilateral trade, economic and technological exchanges between the two cities, and providing a series of preferential conditions for Taichung businessmen to invest and set up factories in Zusun. As a result, he was awarded the title of Honorary Citizen of Taichung City. In 1989, she was elected as the chairperson of the Seven Sister Cities Committee: Zusun, Taichung, Guadalajara (Mexico), Almaty (Soviet Union), and Fiesuri (Italy). She is committed to developing people-to-people exchanges between the United States and these countries. Deng Zengcuilan is now over seventy years old, but she is still particularly enthusiastic in engaging in substantive non-governmental exchange activities between the United States and China in order to bring benefits to her nation and motherland. Last spring, she personally led the staff of the Industrial Development Company to Suzhou to organize an international trade academy to train useful talents for the mainland. She said that her greatest wish is to do useful work for the Chinese nation to stand on its own in the world. It is indeed extremely valuable for a native Chinese American to have such love for his own nation.
