July is hot, the weather is hot, and in the last few days of the month, major events in the world come one after another. Too many people feel the scorching heat, entangled in love and hatred, but July, like all the months, is slowly going away…

August on the month card came just like July, quietly, but it was already a cool weather.

The beautiful Vancouver is like a small courtyard in a quiet place, with a pot of good tea, a pot of good wine, and a table of good food. All the visitors come and go with smiles on their faces.

No one said the word positive energy, but what was conveyed was all positive energy. Anyway, everything I encountered was full of positive energy.

Mr. Dong Hanpeng came to Vancouver. He is the only MP with a mainland background among the 338 members of the Canadian Federal Parliament.

Dong Hanpeng, born in Shanghai in 1977, immigrated to Canada with his parents at the age of 13. He was elected to the Ontario Provincial Parliament in 2014, and was elected to the Canadian Federal Parliament in 2019. He will be re-elected as a Member of Parliament in 2021.

I met him during the 100-day walk in Toronto in the winter of 2019. I recorded this in “Hundred Days”:

“We chatted for two hours. The young Mr. Dong Hanpeng said: ‘If the Chinese congressman gets the bonus of the Chinese voting for you, he must repay his promise and guard his promise to the Chinese!'”

As a result, we became friends, not tepid. I admire his gentleness, elegance, and straightforwardness, as well as his elegant temperament. In the mouth, it is also reflected in the action.

When he came to Vancouver, he said with a smile that it was the first time in his 32-year immigration career.

A few days ago and yesterday, I wrote about Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and got more than 500,000 clicks to read. At the turn of July and August, in the eyes of too many people, The fire is not a mess, but a chicken feather.

But I would rather the world be quiet, even if no one comes to read.

Compared with Pelosi’s heavy-duty and heavy-going, Dong Hanpeng’s light-hearted walking makes people feel like a spring breeze, just like the uncle, brother, and younger brother next door. The Chinese community in Vancouver is just like an agreement, and the village is lively. stand up.

On the afternoon of July 29th, he first came to the Canadian Chinese Political Participation Promotion Voting Alliance, had a discussion with the directors of the alliance and people from all walks of life in the Greater Vancouver area, and presented a certificate of appreciation to the founder Mr. Kong Qingcun on behalf of the Canadian Federal Congress. Present him with a

Then, Mr. Kong Qingcun and others accompanied Mr. Dong Hanpeng to pay a visit to Mr. Taleeb Noormohamed, a local federal member of Congress. They focused on the construction of the British Columbia Chinese Museum and the docking with the Chinese Heritage and Future Foundation (CCHFF), hoping that CCHFF can be more widely solidarity and support.

In the evening, the 20th anniversary celebration of the Canadian Chinese Federation was grandly held at the River Rock Theater in Richmond. Nearly 200 guests from the political and overseas Chinese circles attended the grand ceremony. Mr. Dong Hanpeng was invited to attend and delivered a passionate speech on behalf of the Federal Congress, and also gave a Queen’s White Jubilee badge that he had obtained to Mr. Niu Hua, the president of the Hualian Federation, to express his respect.

On July 31st, the [2022 Chinese Traditional Culture Festival and the 14th Vancouver Water-Splashing Festival], sponsored by the Chinese Federation of Chinese Associations and undertaken by the Canadian Chinese Building and Decoration Association and Yi Guanjia, was held in Central Park in Burnaby. But from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm that day, phalanx parades, performances, and entertainment events were staged one after another. Hundreds of beautiful white tent booths were neatly arranged at the venue, including businesses and non-profit organizations. Spectacular and beautiful.

The Chinese Heritage and Future Foundation (CCHFF) initiated by ten founding directors including Mr. Ding Guo and I was also among them, because it was raising funds for the British Columbia Chinese Museum. Booth No. 83, which was full of colorful balloons, was the organizing committee of the conference. Provided to us for free, the young volunteers are the main volunteers in our booth.

In front of the booth, people stopped from time to time to ask and express their love. Mr. Li Yaohua, a member of British Columbia Province, and his wife also came to offer donations. Foreigners also understood our hope, wrote down their names, and expressed their hearts.

The “Chinese Traditional Culture Festival” has always been valued by all walks of life, and it has become a benchmark for the three-level Canadian government to highly affirm the contributions made by Chinese immigrants to Canada’s construction. The British Columbia provincial government has declared the last week of July as “Chinese “Traditional Culture Week” to call on people of all ethnic groups to participate together and live in harmony.

Today, Congressman Dong Hanpeng was dressed in shorts and short-sleeved casual clothing. He delivered a speech on stage, still humorous and lively, and the heat of the crowd and the heat of the weather complemented each other.
