2024年8月31号,华府青年的朋友们相约来到了华盛顿,参加庆祝第22届华盛顿中国文化节。 自1993 年起,每年都会在国会山前举办中国文化节。

华府青年们早上9:00就来到了位于宾夕法尼亚大道第三和第四街的集合地点。文化节活动邻近白宫和国会大厦。这里已经搭起了一座座白色帐篷,很多义工们一大早就来到这里运水运物资。 华府青年们加入到了准备的行列,分成小组,帮助搬运东西, 收集垃圾, 整理箱子。随后,大家就分成不同的组,有的负责组织宣传,分布在各个博物馆前,拉着横幅,向游客们介绍今天开展的中国文化节并向他们分发文化节的小扇子。有的负责舞台的准备工作, 帮助搬运道具。有的帮助各摊位的布置和分发, 大家都愉快地忙碌着.

从前年12月开始,我参加了一个与中国云南省麻栗坡小学生的文化交流活动。一开始我很紧张,无法想象这个云聊天活动。一个怕自己中文不够好,一个也怕和陌生人通过微信聊天,觉得很奇怪。带着不安的心情,我们开始了周五晚上的聊天活动。从2022-2024学年期间,我们通过微信通话和云南朋友见了15次。

从2022年12月2日开始,我们美国华府青年(Capital Youth Outreach Club)的孩子与中国麻栗坡第一小学的孩子展开了为期19个月、共计15次的文化交流活动。这个项目的初衷是让两国的孩子们能够互相了解彼此的生活方式、文化背景以及学习环境,促进中美青少年之间的友谊和理解。我们第一次会议在12月2日是与麻栗坡小学共同举办的晚会便拉开了帷幕。尽管活动的筹备过程中遇到了不少困难,但在大家的共同努力下,晚会最终取得了圆满成功。这次成功的合作不仅让我们对未来的交流充满信心,也让彼此更加期待接下来的每一次互动。

去年的一天,我爸爸忽然喜出望外地问我,“你愿不愿意与中国云南的同龄小学生通过网络聊天交流学习?” 我知道我爸爸对我中文学习很重视,而我自己也的确知道熟练掌握中文对于Chinese American的重要性。于是我毫不犹豫地答应了。我希望我的中文水平得到进一步提高,也期盼与中国的同龄小朋友一起交流,在实践中更快的提高自己的听说能力。

      Since 1993, the Black Hill Barbecue held in Black Hill Regional Park, Maryland has been a staple of the Chinese Alumni Associates of Greater Washington (CAAGW) for 31 years.

Every year, more than 70 alumni of the CAAGW come to this event, and this year is no different. This year on May 12, the park was as lively as could be with many events.
