回顾《排华法》百年反思活动

Let us remember once again the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1923. This was the solemn ceremony of remembrance marking the centennial of the passage of the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act.

It took place in the Senate Chamber of Canada, on June 23, 2023. A little more than a year ago.

I had the distinguished privilege to be the MC of that historical event. I spoke English, French, Mandarin and Catonese Chinese to host that remarkable event.

The Governor General of Canada Mary J. Simon, whom I proudly coordinated interpretation service for her installation ceremony (Inuktitut/English/French as well as sign languages of ASL and SLQ) the previous year, graced the event with her presence and a passionate speech.

So many distinguished Canadians, Chinese and other ethnicities, Indigenous and immigrants, all stood up to speak from their heart.

It was the highlight of my career and personal life. I am proud and grateful for the opportunity to represent the Chinese community in Canada.

Please don’t let that painful and shameful history go unnoticed. Please don’t allow the new Exclusion Act to be reproduced in this glorious land!

让我们回顾一下历史，重温2023年6月23日在加拿大参议院大厅举行的《排华法》百年反思纪念大会实况。

我有幸成为这场盛大纪念活动的英法国粤4种语言的主持人。这是我职业生涯和个人经历中的高光时刻。

我为所有勤劳勇敢的加拿大华人、加拿大各个族裔（原住民和移民）感到无尚自豪和骄傲。

以史为鉴，展望未来。请牢记屈辱排华史，莫让历史重演！
