If you were lucky enough this year to get the chance to swing by CPCC’s Taylor Hall Gym Sunday February 17, 2013 be-tween 11a.m. and 4 p.m., you were in for a real treat! The spectacular show, hosted by the Vietnamese Association of Char-lotte (VAC), offered up the infamous Lion Dance, folklore music and storytelling, tra-ditional dance and martial arts performanc-es, Miss Vietnam Carolinas “Ao Dai” pag-eant, great raffle prizes, authentic Vietnam-ese foods, informational booths by com-munity businesses, gifting of red “li xi” en-velops and a balloon artist for the kiddies! TET, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year cel-ebration is the one culminating event that is the shared by Vietnamese communities around the world with 2013 marking the beginning of the Year of the Snake. There was certainly something for all to enjoy. At least 800 attendees, participants, and volun-teers trekked through the brisk winds left over from the previous day’s snowstorm to come see the much anticipated show. People visited the Queen City from as far as neighboring Greensboro, Hickory, and Raleigh. The first and more solemn segment of the festivities began with the introduction by Master of Ceremony Ms. Kiem Dang, in memoriam to ancestors, a salute to the U.S. and Vietnamese Freedom flags, and the U.S. national anthem sang by graceful and lovely Miss Kelly Huynh. VAC’s current president, Mr. Binh Phu warmly welcomed guests with wishes for good health and prosperity in 2013. Mr. Phu also presented Mr. Peter Tran, former VAC President, with

an award for his outstanding service and contributions to the Charlotte’s Vietnam-ese community. Also in attendance were Asian Herald, program coordinator for the Arts and Science Council of Charlotte, Dr. Chun of Asian Herald, Dr. John Chen and Nini of Asian Chamber of Commerce and many other leaders from local Vietnamese organizations. As drums beat loudly on to call the Lions out, you can hear the audience scream in sheer delight. Vibrant, festive, and grandi-ose displays of color, rhythm and tradition brought the enthused spectators to their feet. Just that alone was a feast for the ears and eyes! Dancing Lions pranced up and down the aisles, up the stage, and then back to the audience so all can see the gigantic Lions up close. Guests fed the happy Li-ons with “li xi” bags. One could surely be ready to usher in the Lunar New Year after that. But there was more to come. Women and little girls could be seen proud-ly showing off their Vietnamese cultural heritage by wearing beau-tiful, flowing traditional “ao dai’ dresses. With the facility filled to capacity and no standing room, guests scurried to find tasty treats served up by local talents so they didn’t lose their seats. Pageant participants were finally intro-duced on stage and up for grabs was the $1000 grand prize, $500 2nd prize and $300 for 3rd prize, and Kindle Reader prizes for Miss Congeniality and Miss Pho-togenic. All contestants were beautifully adorned with differing styles of the well-known ‘Ao Dai” dresses. Judges, Mr. Tuan Tran, Ms. Ngoc Do, Ms. Le Pham, Ms. Van Tran and Mr. Vinh Hoang, would surely have a difficult job on their hand with se-lecting one Miss Vietnam to go on and represent Vietnam and to compete in Miss Asia in May. Thirteen beautiful young la-dies competed to capture the crown.

Taking home the grand prize and the title of Miss Vietnam of the Carolinas 2013 was Ms. Jeni Nguyen of Greenville, SC – an In-ternational Studies student at the University of SC. The first runner-up title went to Ms. Trang Ton, a high school student from High Point, NC - who wants to be a teacher. The second runner up title was captured by Ms. Jenny Bui, a high school student in Green-ville, SC who wishes to become a heart surgeon. In addition to those three prizes, the title of Miss Congeniality went to Ms. Tina Nguyen – a student at NC State Uni-versity majoring in textile engineering and psychology and the title of Miss Photoge-nic went to Ms. Kem Kem, an Economics and Finance major at UNCC.Throughout the program, guests were able to test out their luck for the New Year by purchasing raffle tickets. Raffle prizes included a number of Auto Bell gift cer-tificates, goodie gift baskets worth up to

$100 and an iPad. Guests were thrilled by the amazing dances and fashion show performed by a dance team from Lien Hoa temple, St Joseph Vietnamese Catho-lic church, a K’hor traditional dance by a K’hor team from Greensboro, NC and many other wonderful performances.Overall, the Year of the Snake 2013 Tet cel-ebration was a resounding success and we owe it to the many volunteers and organiza-tions that have devoted their precious time and resources to make the event possible. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to having another out-standing Tet in 2014!!! ■

First Hmong United Methodist Church

Pastor Huaa Vang visited the Asian Her-ald &Library on February27, to share in-formation about his ministry. First Hmong United Methodist Church is hosted by Kilgo United Methodist Church, located at 2101 Belvedere Ave, Charlotte, NC 28213.Kilgo has a rich history and tradition of be-ing a neighborhood church. It sits in the heart of the Plaza-Midwood Neighbor-hood. Their purpose is to build relation-ships with all people to help them know, love, and serve God in Christian commu-nity. “The neighborhood is diverse, and the mission is to mirror and embrace our diver-sity. God creates us each unique and bless-es us individually to add to the whole com-munity. We cannot be complete without all that God created. When God finished cre-ating humanity God saw that it was very GOOD! Our members, our neighbors and all people in our eyes and God's are created very GOOD.Come share in the new and exciting ministry happening at your neigh-borhood church, Kilgo. Kilgo was founded as a neighborhood church. The Plaza and Midwood areas were fast growing commu-nities that needed a faith foundation. Bish-op John Carlisle Kilgo helped to charter

the congregation and thus the congregation took on his family name. The Church was organized under the lead-ership of Reverend John R. Hamilton on September 5, 1943 with 37 Charter Mem-bers and met for the first 15 months at the Midwood school auditorium. The current location of the congregation was given to Kilgo in August of 1944 by the Char-lotte Methodist Mission Society. This was the property and home formerly owned by Thomas Clayton McNeil. Kilgo wor-shiped in the old home from 1945 until 1959 when ground was broken for the new sanctuary. The community has transformed and the church strives to be the community church as it was founded. “We have begun new programs to reach all people.” If you have questions please call us at (704) 649-8314 E-mail:[email protected] CHURCH SERVICE: 9:30-10:45 AM

Sunday School; 10:45-12:00 N Sunday Wor-ship Service. The Hmong congre-gation includes about seventy members that worship regularly at Kilgo.For more infor-

mation please contact Pastor Houa Vang at (704) 649-8314 or E-mail: [email protected].■

CHINESE NEW YEAR By Joyce Melton

The Chinese New Year Season means hard work for members of Charlotte’s Little Lo-tus Troupe. It’s their main performance sea-son! For nine years, they have entertained at many events around the Charlotte area to celebrate the most famous of Chinese holi-days: Spring Festival! They make several appearancesduring January and February each year. In January, 2013, they performed a classi-cal Chinese dance “FeiTian,” along with a fan dance at the Chinese American Associa-tion’s celebration at Dana Auditorium, and again at the Korean New Year festival at the Halton Theater. They danced at the Peace-ful Dragon in February; and as Davidson College welcomed the Year of the Snake, the girls entertained with dances and a fash-ion show. They also made a special appear-ance for Families with Children from China (“FCC”), where they were greeted warmly by little girlsdreaming of the day they toom-ight wear a colorful costume and dance on the stage. In addition, they have a standing invita-tion to Myrtle Beach each year, to be a part of the Chinese New Year party at the Bur-roughs-Chapin Art Museum. This year, they arrived on Friday evening and rehearsed un-til 10:00 pm; as early as 8:30am on Satur-day morning rehearsed again, and then put on elaborate costumes, make-up and head-pieces before the Museum opened. Chil-dren sat in the floor for a front-row seat to watch the beautiful fan dances, and the au-dience enjoyed an up-close look at the au-thentic costumes from Shanghai. This year included a “first” for the Troupe: they were showcased on WCNC-TV with anchors Dion Lim and Sonja Gantt for a story on the Year of the Snake and its sig-nificance to Chinese families. While Dance Director Xiao Song He was interviewed

about the holiday, the girls danced in the background. Dancers and parents alike were very interested in the TV station, its activi-ties, cameras and TV personalities. However, on Friday, February 15, the Lit-tle Lotus Troupe members and their families celebrated Chinese New Year—not by per-forming—but with a family dinner in their honor. The meal was catered and included plenty of dumplings, which seemed to run out early! The girls piled their plates with sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, chicken with vegetables, and lo mein. Veggie trays, mandarin oranges, cupcakes and Chinese candies werebrought by parents. Xiao Song made irresistible fruit smoothies, and spe-cial guest Roxanna Dimitriu brought a Eu-ropean pear-and-custard dessert which drew compliments and requests for her recipe! New on the family dinner agenda this year was a talent show by members of the troupe. Amelie played several beauti-ful piano pieces; Elaine gave a gymnastics performance, and Grace entertained on the saxophone. Emily recited a Song Dynasty poem and Xiao Song started to sing a song by TereseaTeng, until she was interrupted by “technical difficulties.” She promised to sing it again when we have karaoke prop-erly set up. The dinner is a wonderful time for the dancers and their families to enjoy a special evening together after the hard work and dedication of rehearsals and recent perfor-mances. Coming up on the troupe’s agenda: a dance competition in March, the “Hello Asia” festival in April, and the Asian Festi-val in May. The pace has slowed, but only for a short while—the Little Lotus Troupe knows that preparing for the upcoming dance competition means more long hours and extra rehearsals! ■

Tides and Times Group USA, Inc.(TTG) welcomed the Year of the Snake with a Day of Appreciation at Charlotte’s Wan Fu Chinese Bistro Saturday Febru-ary 9th. More than 113 guests attended this celebration hosted by Jimmy & Grace Lee to express their thanks to spe-cial guests who contribute in many ways to the growth and success of the Tides and Times group. The guests represented support or-ganizations such as the Union County Chamber of Commerce, the Carolina Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Carolinas Asian-American Chamber of Commerce, the Chun Group, the Asian Herald newspaper, Charlotte Chinese Academy,Hanjin Shipping, TMX Ship-ping, International Exports, ECM Inc., and several hardwood lumber manufac-turing companies in North Carolina, Vir-ginia, and Georgia and members of the management team of TTG. With sales offi ces and a distribution center in Asia along with 7 hardwood sawmills and lumber drying facilities in America,TTG is comprised of more than 250 employees. Over 140 of these em-ployees were added in the state of North Carolina during the past 3 years. The company is one of America’s largest ex-porters of hardwood lumber to Asia, with its head offi ce in Charlotte. The principals, husband and wife Jim-my and Grace Lee came to the United States at the beginning of 2004 and have steadily built this thriving company. They are especially thankful for the sup-

port and friendship they have encoun-tered on this path. Initially they came to America to source hardwood lumber from American lumber manufacturers and built the beginning of the company on that premise. As the world market changed and many lumber producers disappeared in the economic conditions of the past several years, changes were made in the company’s strategy. Grace Lee formed Coco Lumber LLC and be-gan marketing lumber in Vietnam. She rapidly garnered a strong following in that marketplace and today sells about 1/3 of the hardwood lumber exported from the United States to Vietnam. The company’s sales team in mainland China enjoys a strong presence in that market and these two markets drive a continuing growth of American based lumber production and procurement. The addition of sawmills near the towns of Bostic, Tryon, Marion and Waynes-ville in North Carolina, in Kenbridge, Virginia and in Edgefi eld, South Caroli-na generates nearly 40 per cent of yearly exports. Procurement of lumber from companies from New York to Georgia throughoutthe Appalachian production area brings the yearly shipments to 90 million board feet. Continuing growth will likely push the total to well over 100 million board feet yearly within the 2013 year. This places the company and the state in a strong position in the future exporta-tion of American hardwoods to Asia. ■

Local Charlotean Neil Patel, a freshman at Ardrey Kell High School, and Ronak Bhagia, an eighth grader at Metrolina Re-gional Scholars Academy, were honored to be invited by the Congressional Youth Leadership Council (CYLC) to attend the Presidential Inaugural Conference in Wash-ington DC, and to see President Barack Obama give his inaugural address. CYLC is an organization which recruits scholars from Middle and High Schools and colleges from all United States and the World and encourages and instills leadership qualities in them. Asian Herald has their story! Let’s see how the events unfolded.”The conference in Washington DC was a fi ve day program, in-volving discussions of the process of presi-dential campaigns and elections, the history of the inaugural ceremony, the functioning of the Cabinet and White House, life of the Presidents and the presidential role in his-tory. Also during this conference, we were fortunate to be addressed by distinguished speakers who came to talk about the Presi-dency, leadership skills required to be suc-cessful, and about following and achieving your dreams. The keynote speakers for the High School delegates included Condoleezza Rice, who served as the Secretary of State of the Unit-ed States, the second woman and the 1st African American woman to hold this post. Dr Rice enthralled us with her experiences as the Secretary Of State and as the Na-tional Security Advisor to President George W. Bush. She also inspired us to follow our dreams and fi nd our true inner passion so

that we can excel in our future. General Wesley Clark, a retired general of the United States Army and Commander of Operation Allied Forces during the Kosovo War and NATO’s Supreme Allied Com-mander, Europe also addressed the High School delegates. General Clark, a Demo-cratic presidential candidate in 2003, who has also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and knighthoods from the British and Dutch governments along with many other awards, gave an elaborate account about his experiences in the army during his years of service, and how it’s important to believe in your own abilities. The Middle School delegates were ad-dressed by Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hager, the daughters of President George W. Bush who talked about their experienc-es of living in the White House and what it feels like to be the daughters of the Presi-dent of the United States. Along with many stimulating workshops and lectures, we got to go sightseeing around Washington D.C., the National Mu-seums, Arlington National Cemetery Wash-ington D.C. and also witness the 57th in-auguration and the swearing in of the 44th president of the United States for his second term, Barack Obama. It was very exciting to have the Smithsonians open exclusively for us at 7 am in the morning, and attend a grand black tie gala event exclusively for the High School delegates, at the Air and Space Museum until midnight, dinner, DJ and all. Overall, this was the most exciting, edu-cational and stimulating trip we’ve had. We were inspired to recognize our ability to make a difference and take charge and get involved to uplift our local communities. It was also wonderful interacting with other

scholars from around the country and the world. This was no doubt a very unique e x p e r i e n c e , one which we will never for-get.” ■

Local Immigration

Many Asians in our area are struggling with immigration issues; despite the ef-forts of few organizations, like Southeast Asian Coalition, many do not fi le the proper documents. In December, 9, 2012 a Citizenship Fair took place in Charlotte. Although the information is available, the services provided by specialized fi rms are of undeniable importance.

Karen and her team are sharing the following, referring to Areas of Impact in Local Immigration Community. “As of August 15, 2012, Children who arrived to the United States undocumented before the age of 16 have been able to apply for a temporary protected status known as "Deferred Action" which would allow them protection from deportation for unlawful presence alone as well as provide them with Employment Authorization that would entitle the individual to a social security number and, until very recently, a NC driver's license.

The Democratic Women of Mecklenburg County

The Democratic Women of Mecklenburg County meet the second Wednesday of every month at the Asian Library. Our meet and greet starts at 6:30 pm and the speaker and discussion follow at 7. Our membership is open to all registered Democratic women. (Democratic men may join, too, as associate members.) Our dues are $30 per year or $15 for women over age 60. The DWMC is a chapter of the Democratic Women of North Carolina. Our mission is to promote the goals of the Party by engag-ing Democratic Women in the political pro-cess and advocating for issues important to women. The DWMC started 2013 right—we had a very energized and very happy January meeting at our new meeting place, the Asian Library. We had a great turn-out and, I must say this, the food was fantastic! Many thanks to all the women who brought the delicious appetizers and desserts, and the assortment

The Mecklenburg Asian Pacific American Bar

The Mecklenburg Asian Pacific American Bar (“MAP-Bar”) is a network of Asian at-torneys in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area. They provide resources for one another and partner with affiliate organizations to increase and promote diversity in the le-gal community. The organization’s current President, Brian Heslin, attorney at Moore & Van Allen proposed that the leaders of the Asian community organizations get to-gether to discuss how we could work col-laboratively with one another. MAP-Bar’s Vice President, Pax Sinsankeo, and past President, Mica Nguyen Worthy, worked to identify key organizations in Charlotte serving the Asian communities. On January 31, 2013, the leaders of these organizations met at the Asian Library in Charlotte, and formed new synergies. The meeting of com-munity leaders was described as a "historic moment" and "one of the best days of my life" by Dr. Bautista and Dr. Chen. Each or-ganization has so much to offer and we are only just starting to learn more about how to support each other. Dr. John Chen works with the Carolinas Asian-American Cham-ber of Commerce and was excited to see the new generation of leadership getting in-volved and collaborating to better the Asian communities in Charlotte. The CAACC is focused on commerce, culture and com-munity service to bridge east and west. Dr. Chen invited us all to participate in the up-coming Dragon Boat race. Dr. Nini Bausti-ta also represented with the CAACC and stated that this event was a historical mo-ment in the commnuity. She spoke about how she has been impressed with how the different Asian communities in Charlotte have evolved. She mentioned the Smithson-ian institute's exhibit on the story of the boat people in Charlotte (http://www.sites.si.edu/exhibitions/exhibits/exit_saigon/main.htm). Dr. Bautista also encouraged young leaders

to get involved with CBI (http://c b i c h a r l o t t e .com/), Leader-ship Charlotte ( h t t p : / / w w w.leadershipchar-lotte.org/), and even the Levine

museum. Tony Zhang works to recruit Chinese companies to work in the Carolinas. Tony works closely with Dr. Chen and other members of the CAACC as well as the Car-olinas Regional Center for foreign invest-ments: http://www.carolinaregionalcenter.com/. Tin Nguyen works with the Charlotte International Council (http://charmeck.org/city/charlotte/cic/Pages/default.aspx) and the Vietnamese Association of Charlotte. The CIC provides opportunities to promote Charlotte as an international city; the VAC focuses on cultural events and just recently had a very successful Tet festival on Feb 17. Priya Patel, Allan Chua, and Moses Sye are law school students and are involved in the law student organization, APALSA, which hopes to get more students involved in the local legal community. They recently hosted a successul joint networking event with the MAP-Bar at Vapiano. Moses also reported he attended the Korean festival in Charlotte, which was also a success. Warren Chu works with the Charlotte Chapter of the NAAAP. His group focuses on professional development, networking and philanthropy. http://www.naaapchar-lotte.org/. We are already working with Warren on joint events and panel discus-sions that the MAP-Bar may be able to sup-port. Kiran Patel is the current president of NetIP (http://www.netipnc.org/), which is a networking organization with about 200 lo-cal members. Kiran had some great ideas of how to turn events into fundraisers to support our local organizations. Brian Heslin is President of MAP-Bar (www.map-bar.com) and stated that he was delighted to see these organizations growing together. He encouraged us to help the com-munities we're in because we are an interna-tional city now. As lawyers, we want to help the business and communities grow as well.

NAAAP, CAACC leaders meeting

Cat Bao Le works with the Southeast Asian Coalition, which is a new, 501c3 organiza-tion that has partnered with other local or-ganizations. The SEAC, which is heavily dependent on volunteers, started as natu-ralization and community-based interest group and have recently started working with more Asian businesses in the area. Her group works with the LAAAC and have Mega-naturalization fair coming up March 13. Thanh-Thu Luong also works with the SEAC and talked about the new youth pro-gram for Asian students through a story tell-ing project with flip cameras. The students will also learn to edit film and in so doing bring awareness to the Asian communi-ties. They want to nurture leadership and are asking for anyone with expertise in film editing or who has extra flip cameras, soft-ware, or computers that can be donated. Julie Chiu is a Charlotte-based real es-tate attorney and a charter member of the MAP-Bar. Julie has lived in Charlotte for

of drinks—really it was outstanding! Concetta Caliendo, 1st VP/President Elect DWNC, installed the new slate of officers, and thus, a new year of work furthering the Democratic Party begins. Thankfully, our past president, Susan Higgins, will be in Charlotte through June and we will have her wise counsel and well-mannered grace to help us. Also, I want to tell you that I have appointed another past president, Joan Belk, to be my Parliamentarian. The Mecklenburg County Democratic Party hosted a Commu-nity Inaugural Ball on Saturday, February 16, at the Ritz Carlton. Precinct organization meetings begin Feb-ruary 24.

Electronics and Medicine

Meet the Local Inovator Myo Sandar Nwe.

Myo Sandar Nwe has a degree of Bach-elor in Electronics.She is currently working in the Innova-tion and Technology Department of the Ace Medical Group. During her tenure, she has developed four medical Apps in Iphone and android platform. She single handedly programmed the following Apps.1. OTCPlus, is an Over the counter Medi-cation app in iphone and android versions. Consumers are happy that they are able to find the right over the counter medication as per the symptoms; precautions and uses are listed in brief concise manner. Pick the right medication and you can also link to the manufacturer website, and use the coupons at the same time. The OTCplus app was featured in Yahoo! finance, and many other online newspaper, business journal and technology-related blogs.2. Epidynamics, Sick report app. This is a visionary app and it is developed in iphone version and android version is coming soon. This App is designed to track the sicknesses around the world when users report their sickness anony-mously via this app. This app tracks

symptoms and diseases in different part of the world. It enables health organizations, research and disease control offices to track pattern of the spread of disease and illnesses; it gives leverage to prevent and fight these diseases in the near future.Imagine “everyday waking up and know-ing the diseases occurring in the differ-ent parts of the world, while receiving advance information to prevent them;” this was not possible until this Epidynam-ics was created. Power of the crowd plus power of technology can now make it possible; one day, thanks to development of Epidynamics, will have Sick-Report mobile app soon. 3. Copay Discount App, Currently near completion, the app offers direct prescrip-tion discount from the manufacturer; phy-sicians can check before patients leave the office if the medication is affordable for them or not. Many times, the insurance company will reject some of the newer medication until the patients have ex-hausted all older and generic medications for the condition. The long and tedious process of insurance-pre-authorization that medical offices have to follow makes nearly impossible to prescribe new medi-cation. With this application, the manufac-turer will be giving competitive discounts to the patients, making branded medicines affordable again. The savings will help patients tremendously, while physicians get peace-of-mind knowing that patients get the proper treatment. All, thanks to the app, that will be available in both an-droid and Iphone version, sometime in March 2013.4. SlimPlate System, 4 stage portion con-trolled Weight loss system app. This App assists the SlimPlate weight loss pro-gram users, and enables friends to sup-port friends at their efforts to lose weight. It reminds when to eat, suggests what to eat; even when you are dining out, it let you share how you are doing with your fellow fans. Exercise videos for different fitness level users, starting from the begin-ners to challenge, are included in the App. It is like having a personal trainer at your finger tip at your convenience. With this SlimPlate App and the SlimPlate portion controlled weight loss system your suc-cess at losing weight is ensured. ■

UCLA flips over South Meck twins

High school freshmen are first to earn UCLA gymnastic scholarships Anna and Grace Glenn are only 14 years old, but already the South Mecklenburg High School twins hold scholarships to one of the nation’s top universities – Univer-sity of California, Los Angeles. They are UCLA’s first high school freshmen to re-ceive gymnastic scholarships to the school. Their mother, Cindi, said the interest in gymnastics started when the girls were two years old. They attended their friend’s Olympiad recital and following the perfor-mance, the girls immediately took to the equipment. “As soon as the exhibition was over, the girls were trying to climb ropes, jump off mats and hang from bars. It was love at first sight – they were hooked,” said Cindi. But becoming a gymnast on one of the nation’s top gymnastics team is no easy feat. The UCLA gymnastics team is a six-time national champion, with a pre-season No. 2 ranking. Monday through Friday the girls wake-up around 6:15 a.m. and

they eat breakfast in the car on the way to South Meck (it’s their mother’s way to give them a few extra minutes of sleep). After school, their mother will pick them up and take them to the gym with snacks in hand. Then it’s hours of training with head coach Ludmilla Shobe at Southeastern Gymnas-tics. In Russia, Shobe coached a three-time Olympian. She believes the Glenns have the potential for the Elite-level needed to qualify for the Olympics. Anna and Grace have competed in the 2012 Junior Olympics competition in Hampton Roads, Va. Grace made the Junior Olympic National Team. The Glenn twins are also considered as top gymnasts in their region. They often travel nationally and sometimes internationally for training and competitions. To train for the Olympics games would require home school and at least 40 hours of training at the gym, said Glenn. For now, the girls are satisfied with training about four hours a day, holding scholarships in hand. “It is all about the routine. We know what we have to do each day and we just get it done,” said Grace. The freshmen also apply that same structure and organization to their school work. They are honor students, who have a wide-array of interests including studying Chinese and Japanese. “Gymnastics shapes you as a person and it makes you more discipline,” said Anna, who is treating a recent gymnastics injury. “I have learned to push through the pain. My pain tolerance is high, because I know what it takes to succeed. You have to have a positive attitude.” The Glenn girls will attend UCLA in 2016. According to U.S. News & World Report, UCLA ranks No. 24 in the nation and accepts only 25 percent of its applicants. The school is considered to be most selective in choosing its students.

Midwood International and Cultural Center

The Midwood Center is the new home for International House. After 30 years on Haw-thorne Lane, we are thrilled to be in this fab-ulous new facility which we share with many other international and cultural organizations.Ni hao! 你好 Konichi wa こんにちは!International House celebrates language and culture through weekly conversation hours. Chinese on Tuesdays, 6 PM (2nd and 4th week of the month) Starting March 2013; and Japanese on Thursdays, 12pm. These free events offer informal conversation time with native speakers in a comfortable set-ting. They are appropriate for all skill levels. Best of all, the conversation hours are free and open to everyone! Click here for a print-able schedule of current conversation hours, which are held at 1817 Central Avenue, Room 202. We encourage you to attend! For more information, contact Gail Johnson atg-

[email protected] or 704.333.8099. Images from the Midwood International and Cultural Center Open House held on January 27th. New Year at Midwood! “ “Another planet.” This is the phrase that one International House staff member used recently to describe her lovely office at our

new home in the Midwood International & Cultural Center. Indeed, we all feel that we have arrived at a wonderful new place that we never would have thought possible! Our legal team is already seeing clients in private offices, a huge improvement over the crowd-ed quarters at our old house where there

was insufficient space for confidential dis-cussions. Classrooms are being readied for upcoming Conversation Hours, Doorways meetings, and ESL and citizenship classes. Packing boxes are gradually being emptied. A striking new sign has been installed at the front of the building on Central Avenue, and visitors are grinning when they walk through our doors for the first time. But one of the best things about being at Midwood is that International House is now part of a community. The Japanese Associa-tion of Charlotte, One Ethiopian Community, and Grameen America are getting settled in their offices upstairs. The League of Women Voters and the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Cul-tural Center have just begun to move in to their rooms on the main level, and the Lan-guage Academy, Sankofa Gallery, and Uni-versal Institute for Successful Aging in Char-lotte (UISAC) are preparing to open soon. Other interested cultural and international organizations are contacting us about leasing

some of the remaining rooms. The future is full of so many emerging possibilities for creative collaboration and shared programming! For instance, many of the immigrants and refugees served by our legal team can now be directed upstairs to Grameen America, a micro-lending in-stitution that assists low-income entrepre-neurs who traditionally do not have access to larger banks. Members of One Ethiopian Community and UISAC (which focuses on Indian and South Asian communities) can walk down the hall to attend ESL classes at International House or inquire about services at our legal clinic. The Language Academy is right around the corner for members of our Language Conversation Hours who want structured lessons for learning the language of their choice. It is indeed an exciting time and a wonder-ful way to start the New Year. We invite you to be part of this “new planet” that is now our home.” ■

Project Art Aid

Friday, February 22, 2013 The Gallery at Packard Place in Charlotte was filled with art-lovers, and supporters of Project Aid. The finalists, all excited by the opportuni-ty to participate had a great night; for us, there were all winners, but only one could receive the grant. With a great ambiance, food, wine and good conversation, it was an amazing evening, and a record high of people daring the rain for the chance to express their opinion and admiration. From the organizers, ”Thanks to all who attended Friday's Queen City Soup. A special thanks to our sponsors, The Gal-lery at Packard Place, Las Delicias Bak-ery, The Art Blab.com, and Olde Meck-lenburg Brewery. With your support, we created the largest micro-grant yet at $1450. We had another first for Queen City Soup, a vote that resulted in a tie between Cathay Dawkins and his proj-ect "Emerging The Young At Art" and Martique Lorray and her "Windsor Park Elementary Milepost." Because we had created such a large grant, we decided to split the grant and fund both projects. Here is a photo of Martique and Cathay accepting the grant.” Windsor Park Elementary Milepost Proj-ect.Windsor Park Elementary recently received a prestigious “School of Distinc-tion” honor from the state of NC. This is significant given that a great majority of

the students are minorities that come from impoverished families, and roughly one-third of the student body is learning to speak English. As noticed by Asian Her-ald, many are from Asian countries. Last year the students’ progress culminated in a combined pass rate of 82% on reading, math, and science exams, which earned Windsor Park the “School of Distinction” label. I propose to design and construct a unique, artistic milepost that reflects the strong multicultural characteristics of the Windsor Park students. I will work with Windsor Park Elementary staff and stu-dents to identify approximately 16 differ-ent countries where student families origi-nated. Pointers will be designed that lists a significant natural or cultural feature of each country (e.g. Machu Picchu – Peru) and of course the distance to get there (3251 miles) from Windsor Park. The milepost will be topped with a weather-vane bearing a symbol of travel or the un-known. (e.g., globe, winged horse, ship). The artwork will be installed on the Wind-sor Park Elementary grounds. East Char-lotte is a melting pot of cultures. These worldly peoples are changing the face and feel of this City and are bringing the beauty of the globe to our doorstep. As a child of immigrants, I know firsthand that it is easy to lose the knowledge of where your people came from. This art piece will encourage the students to remember their homelands, to be proud of their cultural heritage, and it will serve as a geographic learning tool, which will stimulate further interest in the world. It is also a tangible, visual display of the beautiful ethnic di-versity present within the Windsor Park Elementary School community “Emerging the Young at Art”Project. Youth Arts Festival will ignite the innate creativity of Charlotte area’s youth. The festival will consist of; an Art Competi-tion, an Art Fair, and Live Performances, by local youth. Prior to the festival, stu-dents from local schools(including home & private school youth) may enter the themed art competition by submitting 2 original art pieces (1 for each of the two themes). To ensure All students an oppor-tunity to enter, there will be a low Entry

Fee of $5 per art piece. Finalists of the competition will be announced towards the end of Spring Semester, and the win-ners will be announced during the festival. Every student that enters the competition will be invited to vend for free, during the art fair segment of the festival. The art fair will provide every contestant an opportu-nity to showcase their work, with the op-tion to sell. The Youth Arts Festival will feature an array of Charlotte’s artistic tal-ents with performances by local; Dance Groups, Orchestras, Bands, and Choirs. A special invitation to perform will be given to Little Lotus Troupe, led by He Xiao-Song; the group has been in much demand in Charlotte and surrounding areas since they made their debut in the fall of 2004, with dances and even fashion shows, where they displayed their colorful Chi-nese outfits, including qi paos, a tradition-al lady’s formal dress.

Participating Artist:Tenya ColemonProject:The Senior Care – Assisted Living Jazz Concert Series is meant to ease the isolation experienced by the residents resid-ing in assisted living

facilities in Charlotte (NC). Studies show that music can positively affect how elder residents living apart from their families feel about themselves and their situations, making those musical moments one in which the sense of well-being transcends suffering. Currently, she is performing as guest vo-calist with jazz trios in Charlotte, NC and Greenville, SC. Over the past three (3) years, I have performed with jazz trios and quartets on the East and West Coast (Char-lotte/Ashville, NC – Greenville, SC – Los Angeles/ Pasadena/Palo Alto, CA). I have also been selected and have work-shopped with the following jazz recording artists:Karrin Allyson – Grammy Nominated Jazz Artist @ Western North Carolina Jazz SocietyPatti Austin – Grammy Winning R&B and Jazz Artist @ Borders Books & Music Jazz Workshop National SeriesDena DeRose – Jazz Recording Artist @

February 2013 Queen City Soup Grant

Jocelyn EllisLife Of A Holo-gram Project…is a conceptual music art album that will be recorded & re-leased by Charlotte Music Award-win-

ning songwriter & vocalist jocElyn ellis. The album will tell the story about a holo-gram who lives during Year 4013 and ob-serves humanity facing global war, caste systems, and a lack of natural resources on earth. This album will feature collabo-rations from some of Charlotte’s brightest musicians & producers including Justin Aswell (from the group Mr. Invisible), Jason Scavone (lead singer/songwriter for band The Hot Gates), Benie Beatz (lo-cal hip hop pioneer & mastermind), local folk legend Jared Allan and many more! It will be a concept album and will give the Charlotte music scene a piece of concep-tual music art that will show collaboration between local artists, genre exploration, and positive community opportunities for networking and idea sharing at events like the Hologram Listening House Party & CD Release event!

Eric Alan WattinneThe Music Scene Project. Eric is a Visual Artist & Live

Painter based here in the Charlotte/Meck-lenburg area & I would love to receive support to make my projects more engag-ing and enlightening for the audience! I currently paint on whatever I can afford but with a grant I would be able to use more generous supports such as canvas or linen, more visually stimulating media and provide better light sources so it would be easier to view the work during disorient-ing light and stage shows. I usually paint for venues and musicians in the NoDa/Plaza-Midwood area already but with these few simple additions I would be able to provide a much more entertaining & professional show for Charlotte’s ‘Music Scene’. ■

《號角》迦密华人浸信会

以爱华人浸信会

夏乐市华人浸信会

半岛浸信会华人团契

联合主办

钱钟书的 16 字养生法幽默风趣：

钱钟书的幽默是出了名的，无论是

日常谈话还是写作。例如《围城》

中，他比喻那位张小姐“身材将来准

会跟她老太爷那洋行的资本一样雄

厚”；“饭店周围浓烈的尿屎气，仿

佛这店是棵菜，客人有出肥料灌溉的

义务”„„有人说，看钱钟书充满幽

默的文学作品，本身就是一条最有效

的养生保健途径。

淡泊名利：

钱钟书对名和利的淡漠也是出了名

的。普林斯顿大学曾邀请他前往讲

学。实际授课时间加起来只有 8 小

时，开价 16 万美元，交通、住宿、餐

饮费另行提供。钱钟书不假思索地回

绝了。

夫妻情深：

半个世纪以来，钱钟书杨绛夫妻二

人相濡以沫，即使不得已分开，也总

是鸿雁频传。这种夫妻之情为他们的

健康长寿打下了牢固的心理基础。据

杨绛回忆，钱钟书写《围城》时，她

自愿包揽了劈柴、生火、烧饭等全部

家务。两年里他“锱铢积累”地写，

她“锱铢积累”地读，读完后夫妇

“相视大笑”。

童心童趣：

钱钟书有一颗不老的童心。杨绛回

忆说，钱钟书喜欢临睡前在女儿的被

窝里埋“地雷”：把各种玩具、镜

子、刷子，甚至砚台和毛笔一股脑儿

埋进去，女儿惊叫，他大笑。同时，

他还爱看儿童动画片，爱看电视剧

《西游记》。

人不是老死的，

不是病死的，是气死的!

健康是 1，再拥有了其他的诸

如好的工作、事业、生活等等这

些 0，就会变成 100、1,000、10,000 了！其他的一切都是零，

只有拥有的健康 1，只要拥有了

健康这个 1，其他你拥有的越多

的那些 0，你就会越是美满幸福

了！珍惜生命！从现在开始养成

良好的习惯吧

1、在健康问题上，你自己比

老天爷管用.

个人的健康和寿命 15%决定于

遗传，10%决定于社会因素，8%决定于医疗条件，7%决定于气候

影响，60%决定于自己。在这个

问题上，你自己比老天爷管用。

你知道吗？吃饭一定要是：早上

吃好，中午吃饱，晚上吃少。现

在的人相反了，早上马虎，中午

对付，晚上大吃大喝，这就是百

病之根。早上这顿饭，等于吃补

药，是最重要的一顿饭，一定要

吃营养早餐。营养早餐必须有主

食，还要有蔬菜和水果。假如只

有两种以下营养的早餐，就属于

低质量早餐。现在我们中国人

20% 不吃早餐，50%—60%不会

吃早餐，早餐营养不好，中午、

晚上是补不回来的。

2、营养过剩一样中毒。

每天一盘蔬菜，必须要八两到

一斤；每天两个水果；每天三勺

清油，不要超过 25 克；每天四两

米饭或四个馒头；加上充足的植

物蛋白质。现在讲八杯水，每天

一定要喝八杯水。因为水就是人

的生命。现在很多人不会喝水，

渴了才喝，这是错误的。但是，

喝八杯茶行吗？不行，八杯咖啡

呢？饮料、咖啡、啤酒都不能代

替水。要喝茶也喝淡茶，不能喝

浓茶。千万记住，水是人的生

命。

3、人不是老死的，不是病死

的，是气死的.

人哪能不生气？人是感情动

物，喜怒忧思悲恐惊。高兴就要

笑，不高兴就要哭，生起气来还

要骂两句呢，这是人感情丰富的

表现。假如人只有一种感情，这

个人就不健康。一个人感情很丰

富，该怎么样就怎么样，但是你

千万记住：第一个不要过度，第

二个过度了但是不要长时间，很

快就调整过来，这才是健康的。

《黄帝内经》早就讲得很清楚：

“怒伤肝，喜伤心，忧伤肺，思

伤脾，恐伤肾，百病皆生于

气。”讲得很绝。

很多人说老实话，人不是老死

的，不是病死的，是气死的。

当不了官，气死了；提不了教

授，气死了；赚不了钱，气死

了；很多老年人为很小的事气死

了。所以说人“不能不生气，但

一定要会生气；一定不要当情绪

的俘虏，一定要做情绪的主人；

一定要去驾驭情绪，不要让情绪

驾驭你。”

4、走路是非常好的锻炼方式

什么东西都是个度，吃饭是个

度，睡觉是个度，锻炼也是个

度。不锻炼不好，过度锻炼也会

降低免疫功能。每天锻炼半个小

时到一个小时比较合适，走路是

个既经济又有效的方式。但是走

也是有讲究的，年轻人要快走，

逐步快走，一分钟要达到 130步，心跳要达到一分钟 120 次，

才能达到锻炼心脏的目的。达到

130 步、 120 次心跳，当然不是

一下子就能完成，要有个逐步适

应过程，坚持半年心肺功能就可

以大大提高。一个人一定要从年

轻开始，保持标准体重。

一旦胖了以后，降下来谈何容

易。如果想要减体重，关键在哪

儿？控制嘴、多动腿，人就是

“死在嘴上，懒在腿上”。

5、喝醉一次白酒，等于得一

次急性肝炎.

六种最不健康的生活方式：第

一是吸烟，第二是酗酒，过量饮

酒。少量喝还有好处，比如每天

喝白酒一两，喝葡萄酒尤其红葡

萄酒二两，啤酒半斤到一斤。过

多了以后伤害身体，伤肝，伤

脑，伤心，伤各个脏器。喝醉一

次白酒，相当于得一次急性肝

炎。一定要记住，喝酒不仅伤

肝，而且伤脑。为什么喝酒多的

人记忆力不好，认知能力下降？

因为大脑细胞大量死亡。一天一

两白酒，是相对安全的量。

6、家庭不和睦，人就会生病

有专家认为，人的疾病 70%来

自家庭，人们的癌症 50%来自家

庭，这说明家庭很重要。在家里

千万不要“小吵天天有，大吵三

六九”，也不要成为一个死水家

庭，不吵架，不说话。有报道说

离婚人士、丧偶人士寿命偏短，

这是有科学依据的。孤独比贫穷

更可怕，夫妻恩爱的人更长寿，

夫妻健在的人更长寿，孤独的人

更容易出问题，容易短寿，这是

普遍规律。但怎么让家庭搞和

睦，这是一门学问。

7、用脑子吃饭保健康

每天健康生活，要做到七个方

面；第一，一定要吃好 3 顿饭；

第二，一定要睡好 8 个小时觉；

第三，每天坚持运动半个小时；

第四，每天要笑 30 分钟，身心健

康；第五，很特殊的，每天一定

要会大便。人们只管这一头，不

管那一头，也要出问题的；第

六，一定要跟爱人搞好关系，每

天给爱人说 3 句他（她）喜欢听

認識聖經一. 引言

有人稱聖經爲「神聖圖書館」，這話一點

不假。一般人都以爲聖經是一本書，其實它

是由六十六卷書組成。這些書從創世紀開始

到啓示錄結束，可分爲兩大部分。第一部份

叫舊約，共三十九卷。第二部分是新約，有

二十七卷。大部分聖經的開頭都有目錄，列

出所有書名。

二. 聖經是誰寫的？

從人的角度來看，聖經是歷史。英文的歷

史（His-story），就是祂（耶穌基督）的

故事，是由超過三十六位作者，經過一千六

百年的時間寫成的。但最重要的是，不要忘

記這些人是直接受神的默示而寫的。神引

導他們寫下每一個字，這就是我們所說的靈

感。下面的經文清楚說到聖經都是受神的

靈感而成的。

“因爲預言從來沒有出於人意的，乃是人

被聖靈感動，說出神的話來。” （彼得後

書1:21）“聖經都是神所默示的於教訓、

督責、使人歸正、教導人學義，都是有益

的;叫屬神的人得以完全，預備行各樣的善

事。” （提摩太后書3:16-17）

三. 聖經的主題是甚麽？

聖經雖然由六十六卷書組成，卻只有一個

主題——基督就是聖經偉大的主題。舊約包

括很多有關基督的預言。新約論到祂來成爲

救贖主。基督隱藏在舊約，而在新約中顯

明。它也論到祂的死、埋葬、復活和上升，

回到天上。它的結論啓示了在地球上未來要

發生的事件。耶穌基督要在地上掌權一千

年，然後有被稱爲「白色大寶座」的最後審

判。最後，「新天新地」要被建立。聖經啓

示錄21和22章告訴我們，從創造時代到新創

造時代的計劃。

四. 世界名人論聖經

孫中山先生說：“聖經告訴我們，你們的

光要照亮於別人，使大家都知道應走的道

路，你們要把你們所受的傳授別人，這樣，

你們的光就能普照人間。”(上海聖約翰大

學畢業典禮致詞)

林肯總統說：“聖經是神給人類最好的禮

物，救世主的一切良善，都經由聖經傳達給

我們。”(美國第十六任總統)

傑佛遜總統說：“勤讀聖經，能使人成為

良好的公民，賢明的父親和模範的丈夫。”

（美國第三任總統）

威爾遜總統說：“聖經是世上最奇妙的

書，有的經文即使你讀過幾十遍，一旦重

讀，都會有新的感受。如果一個人想尋求指

引，除聖經以外，別無他途。”（美國第二

十八任總統）

加爾文說：“聖經是人認識神，及認識神

旨意和作為的唯一來源。聖經不但啟示了

神，也告訴我們人是什麼。人是神所造的，

就應當履行神為人安排的責任。”（宗教改

革家及神學家）

五．聖經中的名言金句

“聖經都是神所默示的，於教訓，督責，

使人歸正，教導人學義，都是有益的。”

（提摩太後書3章16節）

“凡勞苦擔重擔的人可以到我這裡來，我

就使你們得安息。”(馬太福音11章28節)

“喜樂的心乃是良藥，憂傷的靈使骨枯

乾。”(箴言17章22節)

“神愛世人，甚至將祂的獨生子賜給他

們，叫一切信祂的，不致滅亡，反得永

生。”(約翰福音3章16節)

“你要保守你的心，勝過保守一切，因為

一生的果效是由心發出。”(箴言4章23節)

六. 結論

“聖經隱含神的心思，人的處境，救恩之

道，罪人的淪亡與信徒的福祉。它的教義是

神聖的，它的典章信實，它的歷史真確，它

的決策不可更改，閱讀它以得智慧，相信它

以致得救，實行它以成聖潔。它有光可引導

你，有食物可餵養你，有安慰可鼓舞你，它

是旅人的地圖指標，是海員的羅盤，是軍人

的劍，是基督徒的憲章。在此樂園得以重

建，天堂開啓，地獄門關閉。基督是它偉大

的主題，我們幸福的途徑，最終是神的榮

耀。要慢慢讀，經常讀，邊禱告邊讀。它是

富貴的寶藏，是榮耀的樂園，是愉悅的河

流，它會報償那些努力不懈者，並定那些敵

擋其中神聖內容者有罪，它是書中之書，神

的書，神向人的啓示。”

要求提供邀请函

是国际通行做法

近年来，中國政府外交部不断调整签证政策，对

符合条件的签证申请人可颁发有效期最长达 5 年

的多次入境签证。中国对外开放的力度不断加

大，外籍公民来华人数快速增长，2011 年入境共

计 2711 万人次。事实上，相对于世界上大多数国

家来说，申请中国签证手续十分便捷。对于要求

提供加急服务的申请人，最快可于当日就领取到

签证。

当然，同世界上大多数国家一样，中国驻外使

领馆也需要根据申请人提供的护照、邀请函、机

票、酒店订单等材料，确认申请人的身份及来华

目的等情况，作出核发或拒发签证的决定。因所

在国家不同或申请人具体情况不同，其被要求提

供的材料也有所不同。这一做法适用所有申请中

国签证的申请人。

办理中国签证的手续之所以越来越严谨，要求

提供的材料与过去相比有所增加，是根据形势发

展做出的必要调整。

一是随着中国的发展和对外开放的扩大，来华

的外国人人数逐年递增，在华非法居留、非法就

业等情况也随之增多，中国政府必须加强对来华

外国人的管理。

二是参照采用国际上通行的做法。邀请函是各

国签证官员评估签证申请的一项重要依据。除邀

请函外，美国、英国、法国等国还引入生物识别

签证，通过使用具有安全、保密和方便特点的面

相、指纹等生物特征信息，在颁发签证或入出境

边防检查过程中采集和存储外国人生物特征信息

数据，以进行有效比对并准确鉴别入境人员真实

身份。中国也计划借鉴这些技术措施来把好自己

的“国门”。

为顺利获得签证，建议申请人在准备递交中国

签证申请前，认真查询中国驻当地大使馆或总领

馆的网站，了解申办签证须知，避免由于材料不

全等原因延误如期获发签证。

一般情况下，邀请函应包含以下内容：

1. 被邀请人的个人信息：姓名、性别、出生

日期等；

2. 被邀请人访问信息：来华目的、抵离日

期、访问地点、与邀请单位或邀请人关系、费用

来源等；

3. 邀请单位或个人信息：邀请单位名称或个

人姓名、联系电话、地址、单位印章、法定代表

或邀请人签字等。

附邀请函樣本 (僅供參考)

每个睡醒后的早晨

都当成一件礼物

文/贝聿铭

我 17岁就到美国宾州大学攻读建筑学专业，后

转学麻省理工学院，一直成绩优秀，所以 1945 年

尚未获得硕士学位，就被哈佛设计院聘为讲师。

31 岁时我做了一个让人惊讶的选择：离开哈佛，

到一家房地产公司去工作。因为觉得学校里不够

自由，希望能学点新的东西。当时的公司负责人

对我很信任，眼光长远，能给我一点自由，让我

自己开展工作。

当时纽约最具有吸引力的建设项目是对一些廉

价的房屋利用开发，我说服上司，创造性地用水

泥墙代替了砖块墙，采用舷窗式的窗户来扩大屋

子的空间，改善采光，并在楼与楼之间留下空地

作为公园。这次设计思路改变了部分市民的生活

环境，当时得到了一个称号，——人民的设计

师。

正在叫好的时候，我再次做出选择，离开房地

产公司去发展，因为那里还不够自由，尤其是发

展建筑构思非常困难。那时候有 25 人跟着我做，

我要退出，这 25人怎么办？只好带着这 25人一

起走，责任非常重大。有人说一个设计师的命运

75%来自他招揽生意的能力，我不同意。建筑师

不能对人说：“请我吧！”自己的实力是最好的

说服工具。怎么表现自己的实力？要敢于选择，

敢于放弃，决定了的事情，要有信心进行下去。

64岁，我被法国总统密特朗邀请参加卢浮宫重

建，并为卢浮宫设计了一座全新的金字塔。当时

法国人非常不满，说我会毁了“法国美人”的容

貌。当时的确有压力，我面对的是优越感极为强

烈的法国人，而且卢浮宫举世闻名。不过做事情

最重要的是要有十足的信心，必须相信自己，把

各种非议和怀疑抛诸脑后。旁人接受我与否不是

最重要的，我得首先接受自己。总而言之，建筑

设计师必须有自己的风格和主见，随波逐流就肯

定被历史淹没了。

后来金字塔获得了巨大成功，改建之后参观的

人数比之前翻了一倍，法国人称赞“金字塔是卢

浮宫里飞来的一颗巨大的宝石”。那天记者采访

我，我仍然保持一贯的低姿态说：“谦恭并不表

示我有丝毫的妥协，妥协就是投降。”这么多

年，我敢说，我和我的建筑都像竹子，再大的风

雨，也只是弯弯腰而已。

我生在中国，长在中国，17 岁赴美国求学，之

后在大洋彼岸成家立业。20 世纪 70 年代初，我首

次回到阔别 40 年的中国探亲观光，心中无限感

慨。中国就在我血统里面，不管到那里生活，我

的根还是中国的根。我至今能说一口流利的普通

话，平时的衣着打扮，仍然保持着中国的传统特

色。越是民族的，越是世界的。

“志于道，据于德；依于仁，游于艺”，建筑不

是服装，可以赶时髦，建起来以后不能说明年不

流行了就立刻拆掉。我从来不赶时髦，你问美法

两国的建筑师，他们都知道我比较保守；但我也

从来不把自己定位于古典或现代派。还有人称我

是现代主义大师，相当多的作品都是西式建筑，

但在设计方面我力争把古典和现代相结合，并摸

索新路改进自己的风格。很多人对此不习惯，不

接受。大多数人都喜欢守旧，觉得以前的很好，

为什么要改呢？

我曾受邀在日本东京的静修中心建造一个宗教

的钟塔，这座钟塔的形状很像日本的一种传统乐

器：底部是方的，往上逐渐变平变扁，越往顶端

越锋利，日本人很喜欢。后来再次邀请我为博物

馆作设计。博物馆的馆址被选在偏远的山上。当

我还是一个孩子的时候，读过一个中国故事叫

《桃花源记》，很羡慕那种世外桃源的感觉。日

本人知道这个故事，都说要是能把博物馆做成那

种感觉就好了。博物馆选在山上，在山上修了一

座桥，穿过山谷通向博物馆。日本人非常接受这

个设计。

我用自己的方式铨释建筑，注释人生。真正想

赚钱的业主不会请我，真正有眼光的人并不多，

评论并不是最重要的，要坚持走自己的路。

我从不缅怀过去，而是专注于现在。我把每个

睡醒后的早晨都当成一件礼物，因为这表示还有

一天可以工作。

人生并不长，我的原则是，只做自己认为是美

丽的事，创造出有震惊效果的美感。

在我的几十件作品中，博物馆的项目占到很大

的比重。我希望博物馆在人们的生活当中发挥更

大的作用，也就是担负起自己的一份文化责任

感。我尤其喜欢年轻人来看我的博物馆，人越多

我越是开心，所以我常常到以前做过的博物馆溜

达，看看观众里面年轻人多不多，因为将来是他

们的世界。我一直尽力保持活力。在纽约，人们

常常看到我像青年人一样敏捷地冲过第 57 街，赶

着回家。

去年，我 86 岁，把自己的“封刀之作”选在苏

州，想用全新的材料，在苏州三个古典园林——

拙政园、狮子林和忠王府旁边修一座现代化的博

物馆，设计方案一出台，又引起了各界的强烈争

论。很多人认为，这座全新的博物馆将破坏原有

建筑的和谐，损害这些古建筑的真实和完整，但

这不能改变我的设计初衷。苏州博物馆真正呈现

在世人面前时，我想他们会理解并喜欢的。那不

仅是人们对贝氏建筑光环的追逐，而且是一个建

筑师在年近 90 岁的一份认真、执着和创新。会给

他们一份满意的答案。

没有人能永远风光，但建筑是悠久的，最要紧

的是看你的工作如何，工作能否存在，50 年以

后，100 年以后„„任何名份都会随时间流逝，真

正留下的只有建筑本身。

*북한의 도발적 핵실험 규탄, 경각심 고취 촉구

샬롯 한인회는 최근 조국 대한민국의 안

보와 평화를 위협하는 북한의 무모하고도 도발적인 미사일과 핵실험 강행을 지켜보면서 우려와 분노를 금할 수 없다. 그동안 한국정부와 유엔 등 국제사회의 지속적인 설득과 강력한 경고에도 불구하고 한반도의 평화를 근본적으로 저해하는 북한정권의 반민족적 호전, 협박행위를 규탄하

며 한인동포사회에 사태의 심각성을 인식하고 각별한 관심과 경각심을 촉구한다.*애쉬빌 한인회장 취임/ 구정잔치 참석

지난 2월10일 애쉬빌 초대 한인회장 (이영수) 취임식 및 구정잔치행사에 샬롯지역에서 방호상 회장이 전기현 회장, 박상근 회장, 김진경 회장, 전태현 이사, 등과 함께 참석하여 축하와 격려의 메시지를 전달하였고 특별히 샬롯 사물놀이 동호회 (회장 김기수)팀이 참가하여 흥겨운 축하공연을 통해 큰 갈채를 받았다.

전국 수학 및 과학 경시 대회재미과학 기술자 협회(KSEA)가 주최 하고 샬롯 한인회가 주관 하는 수학 경시 대회 를 아래와같이 실시 하오니 교민 자녀 (4학년 에서 11학년까지)들의 참가를 권유 하여 주길 바란다. 수학경시 대회 목표는 수학 천재를 선발하기 위함이 아니고,교민 자녀들에게 수학에 대한 자신감과 미래에대한 희망과 면학의 열정을 심어 주는데 목적이 있다. 따라서 4학년에서부터 11학년까지의 자녀를 둔 교민들께서는 적극적으로 이번 경시 대회에 참여 하여 자녀들의 수학에 대한 자신감을 심어 주길 바란다.이번 수학 경시 대회는 2013년 4월 13일(토)일 오후 1시 30분에 UNC-Charlotte(121 Fretwell Bldg)에서 개최 된다.

수학 경시대회에 참여 하기 위해서는 사전에 참가 신청을 해야 하는데 등록은 온라인(http://ksea.org/NMSC/)으로 하면 된다.온라인등록에 대한 문의 혹은 연락은 오해수 (UNCC수학교수: 704-687-4930, [email protected])/ 방호상(한인회 회장: 704-214-0860, [email protected])으로 하면 자세

일제의 폭압에 분연히 맞서 '대한독립 만세'를 외친 순국 선열들의 의기를 본받아 세계 선진 대열의 한국인으로 우뚝 서고자 제94회 삼일절 기념식이 3월 1일(금) 오전 11시에 샬롯 한인 노인회관에서 열렸다. 샬롯 한인 노인회(회장 이 봉석)가 주최하고 샬롯 한인회 및 샬롯 교회협의회, 샬롯 목사회 등 한인사회 단체들이 공동 협찬한 이날 기념식에서 이 행사에 참여한 참석자들은 1919년 일제 압력하에 나라를 잃은 울분으로 힘찬 함성과 함께 대한민국의 독립를 만방에 선포한 선조들의 뜻을 기렸다. 엄숙한 분위기 가운데 샬롯 노인회의 김수학 총무의 사회로 진행된 이날 3.1절 기념식은 락힐 열방 선교회의 강 준원목사의 개회 기도를 시작으로 국기에 대한 경례, 순국 선열에 대한 묵념, 애국가 제창 순으로 진행됐으며 50여명의 참석자들은 모두가 함께 삼일절 노래를 부르며 대한민국 광복의 초석이 된 기미 독립정신의 의미를 되새겼다.

이어 샬롯 한인회의 방호상 회장은 순국 선열의 얼을 바탕으로 마련된 대한민국의 독립의 깊은 의미를 담은 제 18대 박 근혜 대통령의 3.1절 축사를 대독하였고, 이 행사의 사회를 진행 했던 김수학 목사가 일제 치하의 민족대표 33인이 작성하여 발표하였던 독립 선언

문을 낭시 하여 이 자리에 참석했던 모든 사람들의 가슴을 뜨겁게 했다. " 우리 조선은 이에 우리 조선이 독립한 나라임과 조선 사람이 자주적인 민족임을 선언하노라. 이로써 세계 모든 나라에 알려 인류가 평등하다는 큰 뜻을 똑똑히 밝히며, 이로써 자손만대에 일러, 민족의 독자적 생존의 정당한 권리를 영원히 누리도록 하노라.”

(생략) 이어진 순서에서 이 봉석 회장은 "잊지 말자 3.1절이여"이란 주제로 우리 민족의 가슴 속에 영원히 새기며 잊지 말아야 할 3.1절 정신과 현대의 우리가 가져야 할 마음 자세 등을 알려 주었고, 그리고 마지막 순서로써 이 봉석 회장은 대한민국의 독립을 전 세계에 알리는 만세 삼창 " 대한민국 만세 ~ 대한민국 만세~ 대한민국 만세~"를 부르며 제93주년 3•1절을 맞아 순국 선열들이 뜨겁게 외쳤던 독립만세의 정신을 되새기는 자리를 가지면서 이날 행사를 마무리 하였다.■

NC 샬롯 코리안 볼링협회(회장 이연수)는 지난 2월 17일인 주일 오후에 "제 2회 샬롯한인교회대항 볼링대회"를 개최 하였는데 샬롯의 여러 한인 교회에서 총 20여개의 팀을 구성하여 약 60명의 선수와 약 90여명의 응원단이 참여 한 가운데 스포츠를 통한 아름다운 교제와 친목을 도모하는 시간을 가졌다. 이번에 개최된 제2회 샬롯한인교회 대항 볼링 대회에서는 샬롯열린교회 A팀 ( 백승호, 양상철, 이명희 )이 1등을 하였고, 한인 천주교회 팀(모철수, 윤현정, 정주원)이 2등을 하였으며 남부장로교회 B팀(고영숙, 에릭고, 크리스고)과 남부장로교회 A팀(이광수, 최재경, 제니퍼 박)이 각각 3등과 4등을 차지했다. 대회의 MVP는 성인남자 모철수(천주교회), 성인여자 고영숙(남부장로교회) 청소년 남자 크리스 고(남부장로교회) 청소년 여자 엔젤라 LEE(샬롯 열린교회)가 각각 수상했다. 이번 대회는 많은 교회와 교민, 단체,

기업들이 후원하고 참여하여 성황리에 마치게 되었지만 교회대항 볼링대회로 개최되었는데도 교회협의회와 목사님들의 참여가 전혀 없어 큰 아쉬움을 남겼다. 대회에 참여한 한 참가자는 “ 평신도들과 교민들이 모두 참여하여 성황리에 대회가 마쳐지게 되어 기쁘고 감사하지만 목사님들이 참여하지 않아 아쉬움이 많은데 앞으로는 평신도가 주관하는 행사에도 목사님들이 많이 참여하여 격려해 주시면 좋겠다."라며 많이 아쉬워 했다. NC 샬롯 코리안 볼링협회는 이번 대회의 성공적인 개최를 통하여 교민사회와 교회간의 스포츠 교류가 건전히 이루어지는 것을 보며 3회, 4회 대회도 가까운 시일내에 개최하여 정기적인 스포츠 교류의 연합모임으로 발전시켜 나갈 계획이라고 밝혔다. ☞ 안내(연락처)-email:[email protected]이연수 704-575-2428 이주익 704-562-3847 ■

트남참전 유공전우 총 연합회(회장 한창욱)에 따르면 메릴렌드 주정부가 카렌 몽고메리 주 상원의원의 제안과 주 보훈청의 승인에 따라 한국군이 베트남전에서 완전 철수한날인 3월 23일을 한국군 베트남 참전 전우의 날로 선포한다. 한창욱 회장은 9일 열린 베트남전우총연합회 신년 하례회에서 “메릴란드 주정부의 참전 전우의날 지정은 미국에서 사상 처음으로 이뤄지는것으로 남다른 의미를 가진다며 이를 계기로 다른주에도 3월 23일을 전우의 날로 지정하도록 홍보활동을 펼쳐나가겠다”고 말했다. 또한 총연합회에서는 베트남 참전 한인들의 공로를 인정해 달라는 전국의 각주 및 연방의회 결의안 통과 운동에도 박차를 가할 예정이라고 밝혔다. 한 회장은 “버지니아 주의회가 최근 베트남 참전 한인들의 공로를 인정하는 결의안을 통과 시킴에 따라 결의안을 채택한주가 5개로 늘었다”며 이밖에 오레곤주와 메릴렌드주, 펜실베니아주, 뉴욕, 노스 캐롤라이나주도 결의안 채택에 박차를 가하고 있는 중 이라고 말했다. 우래옥에서 고문 및 임원들이 참석한 가운데 열린 이날 행사는 한회장의 신년 인사와 새해사업 계획소개. 박영철 고문의 축사순으로 진행되었다( 박광덕 기자)---2013년도 벌써 2월이 다가고 있습니다. 지난 9월 30일 버지니아 주상원의원 Mr. Chap Peterson 을 모시고 총연회 임원들이 모임을 가졌을 때 우리들의 뜻을 이해하고 우리들의 뜻을 상정하겠으며 1월말 아니면 2월쯤에는 통롸가 되리라는 답을 받고 헤어진 후 2월에 주 상원의원에 통과가 되었다는 통보를 받았읍니다. 하원에서는 한국인 1.5세인 Mark Keam 이 적극 협력을 하였습니다. 본회에서 15개주를 목표로하고 있는데 지금 5곳이 통과가 되었습니다. 나머지 10개주중 지남번에 뉴욕주 베트남 전우회(김무환 회장)에서 주 상원의원과 면담이 있었고 펜실베니아주 베트남 전우회(하동한 회장)에서도 면담을 준비하고 있으며. 노스 케롤라이나(이영수, 전태

한국군 베트남 참전 전우의 날 선포현 회장)에서도 면단을 위한 준비를 하고 있습니다. 한편 메릴란드주 에서는 주지사 명으로 주 보훈처의 승인을 받아 3월 23일을 한국군 베트남 참전 전우의 날로 정하고 3월 19일 오전11시 30분 주 상원의회에서 선포식을 합니다. 1973년 3월23일이 한국군이 베트남에서 완전 철수한 날이기에 이를 기념하는 뜻으로 전우의 날로 지정하였습니다. 본회는 이를 기하여. 본회가 선정한 15개 주에 홍보하여 이날을 기념할수 있도록 할것이며 여러분들도 함께 힘써 지역구 주 상,하의원들과 친근한 접근이 있으시길 바랍니다. 본 미주 베트남 참전 유공 전우 총연합회 총회가 3월 23일 워싱턴에서 있을 예정이며. 한국군 베트남 참전 전우의 날도 같이 기념하는 기념식이 있습니다. 우리들의 위상은 국가 유공자 입니다. 우리들이 후세에 남길 자랑스러운 유산인 것입니다. 또한 고국에서도 우리들의 명예를 위한 사업을 계속적으로 추진하기위해 국가 보훈처에서 예산을 책정하여 지급하겠다고도 했습니다. 이 귀중한 돈들은 월남 참전자 32만명의 명예를 위해 아주 보람되고 영구적인 사업에 쓰여지길 간절히 바라는 마음입니다. 그러나 아직도 마음 아픈 것은 한국정부에서 해외국적을 소유한자는 국가유공자가 못되며. 더욱 유감스러운 것은 고엽제에 대한 차별을 하고 있다는 사실입니다. 물론 한국정부에서도 개선의 의지가 있는것으로 생각하지만 본회에서는 좀더 구체적이고 적극적인 방법으로 차별이 없어질때까지 전우님들의 올바른 권익과 명예를 위해 일할 것입니다. 사랑하는 전우님들 건강들 하시고 가정과 기업 그리고 베트남 참전 전우회의 무궁한 발전을위해 기도로 협력해 주시기 바랍니다. 참고로 우리들이 지정한 15개주입니다: 1)와싱턴 주 2)괌주 3)와이주 4)뉴져지주 5)버지니아주 6)메릴랜드주 7)오레곤주 8)켈리포니아주 9)펜실베니아주 10)노스 케롤라이나 11)죠지아주 12)택사스주 13)일리노이스주 14)쥬욕주 15)플로리다주 한인들이 많이 살고있는 지역을 선정한 것입니다. 연락처: 회장 전태현 Cell 704) 578-7944E-mail: [email protected] / 417 Cecil St Charlotte NC 28204Korean Veterans Association of Carolina ■

인터콥 샬롯 2013년 선교 비젼 집회“ 보라 네가 알지 못하는 나라를 네가 부를것이며, 너를 알지 못하는 나라가 네게로 달려올 것은 여호와 네 하나님 곧 이스

라엘의 거룩하신 이로 말미암음이니라 이는 그가 너를 영화롭게 하였느니라” (이사야 55:5)“ 내가 모세에게 말한 바와 같이 너희 발바닥으로 밟는 곳은 모두 내가 너희에게 주었노니” (수1:3)비전스쿨과 선교의 중요성을 널리 알리고자 마련된 이번 집회는 인터콥 예배인도자 및 디렉터인 임이스마엘 선교사가 초청되어 “ 예수그리스도를 믿는것이야 말로 세상에서 가장 중요하고 값진 일이며, 따라서 우리의 본분은 “ 전도와 복음증거” 라고 강조하고, “ 우리가 하나님의 일을 하는것은 자격이있어서가 아니라 불러주셨기 때문이며, 하나님은 지금도 추수할 일꾼을 찾고계신다, 사랑하는 마음을 갖을때 능력을 주신다” 세상어떤 것보다 중요한것은 예수님의 사랑을 알고 전하는것이라고 했다. 비전스쿨은 복음을 아직도 들어보지 못한 미전도 종족에 대해 소개하고, 우리도 한번도 들어보지 못한 나라에 대해 배우며 그민족을 위해 기도하며, 또 그 민족과 영혼들을 위해 중보하다 민족을 품게되면 그 나라를 직접 가보고 그 영혼들을 찾아가 예수님의 사랑으로 위로하고 기도하며 복음을 전하는 단기선교로 이어지는 선교훈련입니다. 1866년 조선은 병인박해로 수많은 천주교가 박해당하고 있었던 때, 처음으로 조선땅에 “ 복음” 을 들고 오신 영국의 토마스 선교사님의 기도편지에는 조선이란 땅에 지금 아주 잔인한 기독교인 대학살이 일어나고 있음에도 불구하고 복음을 전하러 가야한다는 선교사님의 결심이 있었기에 지금 한국이 복음화된 나라가 된것입니다. 어둠이 가장 강할때 빛이 필요하고, 사망의 권세가 강할때 생명의 능력이 필요한 것입니다. 지금 가장 어두운 땅중의 나라들은 10/40 창 가운데 이슬람의 강한 진이 있는 곳입니다. 그렇기에 미전도 종족이 가장 많이 몰려있는 아시아창/아랍창/북아프리카창/카프카즈창/북인도창 등의 지역입니다. 250년의 서양국가의 역사를 통해 영국은 아프리카 지역을 높게는 30% 가까이 복음화를 시켰고, 미국교회는 남미 지역을 복음화 시켰습니다. 이들이 복음을 들고 멀리멀리 나갔음에도 불구하고 복음화 하지 못한 지역이 바로 기독교국가였던 유럽 옆에 가장 가까이 위치한 이슬람 국가들인 것입니다.

왜 이런 현상이 일어났을까요? 어쩌면 이들 나라 역사중에 복음을 나누는 방법 가운데 전쟁을 하느라 많은 시간을 투자해서 일지도 모릅니다. 짧은 역사로는 “십자군전쟁”, 길게로는 아브라함의 자손 “이삭과 이스마엘” 의 갈등에서부터 지금까지 계속되는 갈등이 이 이슬람국가들 안에 남아있는 것입니다. “ 그러나 하나님께서 세상의 미련한 것들을 택하사 지혜있는 자들을 부끄럽게 하려하시고 세상의 약한 것들을 택하사 강한것들을 부끄럽게 하려 하시며 하나님께서 세상의 천한 것들과 멸시받는 것들과 없는 것들을 택하사 있는 것들을 폐하려 하시나니” (고전 1:27-28) 우리가 선택받은 그리스도인입니다. 내평생 가장 잘한일은 “ 예수그리스도를 믿은것입니다.”세상 어딜가나 제일 좋은것은 “ 예수님의 피 값으로 세워진 하나님의 교회” 입니다. “네 마음을 다하여 목숨을 다하여 힘을 다하여 뜻을 다하여 주 너의 하나님을 사랑하고 또한 네 이웃을 네 자신같이 사랑하라 “ (눅10:27) 추수할것이 많되 일꾼이 적다고 하시는 주님의 음성에 반응하는 그리스도인이 됩시다. 이것이 하나님의 기도제목입니다. 하나님을 세상의 어느것보다도 사랑하며, 지금도 복음을 모르고 죽어가는 열방의 민족들도 내 이웃입니다. 주님의 사랑을 아는 자들이 이들을 내몸과같이 사랑할수 있는 것입니다.

인터콥은 미전도 종족 개척전교를 목적으로 1983년 설립된 초교파적 해외 선교기관으로 창의적인 접근방법을 통해 전도하는 전문인 선교단체이며 국내외의 복음적인 모든 교단 및 선교단체, 지역교회와 협력하여 사역하고 있다. 인터콥의 연중 두차례 봄, 가을로 진행하는 평신도 선교훈련인 비전스쿨이 이곳 샬롯에서도 6기가 시작됩니다. 3월 23일 첫 강의로 매주 토요일/주일 저녁 6시부터 9주간 훈련이 시작됩니다. 이 샬롯땅에 전 세대 선교 부흥을 꿈꾸며 하나님의 비전으로 여러분들을 초대합니다.Charlotte Location: Faith Fellow-ship Baptist Church (주소 :13601 Idlewild Rd, Matthews, NC 28105 )오시는길: I-485 N toward Mat-thews, Exit 49 (Idlewild)문의: 704-654-8011, [email protected] ■
