The world community has suffered a great deal at all levels. At the beginning of the pandemic, many people died in Wuhan China because of the virus. When the virus further spread, almost all daily activities were forced to shut down everywhere in the world. In the United States, public places including school s , l ibraries , playgrounds , and business buildings were ordered by city officials to close the doors. Students had to go online to attend classes while professionals worked remotely in front of their computers. Essential workers such janitors, nurses and police officers were risking their lives performing their duty physically to keep the city functioning. As a sophomore at high school when the pandemic started, I experienced my share of suffering. I could no longer see my friends to discuss schoolwork and solve problems together. School was no longer fun. I could no longer enjoy my grandparents' cooking on weekends as I always had. Meals had become boring. All we were left was anxiety hoping the pandemic would end soon. A f t e r a f ew mon t h s i n t o t h e pandemic, Wuhan led by its courageous people had fought a great battle and saved many l ives . China had s ince started to open up its cities and resumed normal activities steadily while continuing to test, contact trace and quarantine its citizens tirelessly. China being a developing country used all the tools it could find, united all fronts and kept fighting back, setting a great example for the world to follow. However, in the United States, people were misled by former president Trump who insisted the virus would go away by itself very soon. Instead of tackling the problem head- on with the advice of health officials, President Trump started to spew out conspiracy theories about the origin of the virus. He intended to distract people's attention from his own incompetency which had been the characteristic of his administration when dealing with complex domestic issues. One of his conspiracy theories speculated that the Covid-19 virus was created intentionally in the lab in Wuhan, and it was an attempt by the communist China to hurt the free world in order to gain economic advantage. To this day, the speculation has gone wild but still without a sliver of evidence. He further called this virus "China Virus" in front of large audience. This kind of rhetoric has given energy to haters. It has divided people and diverted efforts from fighting the pandemic. People started to subconsciously link people of Chinese or Asian descendent to the virus. With all the struggle people were already having in the pandemic, it was quite natural for some of them to look for a 2022年1月7日和18日,筆者曾在本 版發表題為《乍夜星辰黃柳霜》文章,介 紹好萊塢華人巨星黃柳霜的藝術成就, 並說她的頭像將刻在美國的硬幣上。 2022年10月24日,硬幣已在美國全國發 行。在美國的華人十分興奮,奔走相 告,以能最快收集到這塊硬幣為快。可 是,中國大陸卻對此事一直表示沉默, 用沉默來表示他們對黃柳霜的異議。筆 者曾投稿到大陸,介紹黃柳霜事蹟。有 一家被認為最開放的報刊,也不敢見 報。原來在中國大陸某些人,仍牢記最 高指示一句話:「凡是敵人反對的,我 們就要擁護,凡是敵人擁護的我們就要 反對」。近年來美國在外交上、貿易上 以及台灣問題上與大陸作對,現在竟把 一位女性華人的頭像刻在硬幣上,大概 這位女華人也不是甚麼好東西了! 如果利用硬幣這件事來否定黃柳 霜,筆者認為這不是明智之舉,縱觀黃 柳霜一生,雖然她早年曾拍過一些醜化 華人的電影,但是,她是一位愛國女華 人,她參加一個愛國組織名叫援華聯合 會,她曾脫產在該會做全職的工作。 1937年聖誕節,她把兩部電影的片酬全 部捐獻出來做為援華的經費,她還積極 宣傳和支持一碗飯運動,並成為電影界 的負責人。這個活動募捐所得,購買醫 藥和醫療器械,支援中國。晚年她還拍 過兩部抗日電影,並拍賣自己全部珠寶 首飾,所得之款支援抗日戰爭。在1936 年,她放棄一切工作,到大陸尋根長達 半年之久,在大陸的時候,她向梅蘭芳 先生學京戲,說明她是熱愛中國文化。 她出生於美國,但是她最喜歡的服裝不 是連衣裙子,而是中國旗袍,並在好萊 塢自己當旗袍模特。 這一切說明她雖然吃的是西餐,但 是,她那片中國心一直牢記在心中。如 果我們能夠利用硬幣這一典型事例,宣 傳中美兩國友好關係,豈不是更能發揮 正能量。 團結起來 , 我們能贏 Michael Yu 三藩市 United,We Win 應給黃柳霜以公平的評價 陳華新 三藩市 美西版 三藩市門市部 San Francisco Branch Office 625 Kearny Street, San Francisco, CA 94108 電話﹕(415) 989-7111 傳真﹕(415) 989-1040 電話﹕(650) 808-8800, 1-800-SING TAO 傳真﹕(650) 808-8801 電郵 ﹕sf@singtaousa.com 美國版網址﹕ http://www.singtaousa.com 發行部 CIRCULATION 電話﹕(650) 808-8866 1-877-SING-TAO (外州) 傳真﹕(650) 808-8867 電郵 ﹕circulation@singtaousa.com (要求報紙補派服務,可於早上9:15 前致電 (650) 808-8865 留言,請清 楚留下地址及郵區號碼。) 商業廣告部 DISPLAY AD. 電話﹕(650) 808-8888 傳真﹕(650) 808-8889 電郵 ﹕advertising@singtaousa.com 分類廣告部 CLASSIFIED AD. 電話﹕(650) 808-8877 1-888-SING TAO (外州) 傳真﹕(650) 808-8878 1-888-222-8383 (外州) 電郵 ﹕classified@singtaousa.com 編輯部 EDITORIAL 編輯﹕(650) 808-8822 廣場﹕(650) 808-8070 傳真﹕(650) 808-8823 電郵 ﹕editor@singtaousa.com 採訪組 NEWS DESK 電話﹕(650) 808-8855 傳真﹕(650) 808-8823 電郵 ﹕assignment@singtaousa.com 行政部 ADMINISTRATION 電話﹕(650) 808-8881 傳真﹕(650) 808-8839 電郵 ﹕publisher@singtaousa.com 美西版總部 Western Edition Headquarters 門市部 Branch Offices 部門 Departments 395 Oyster Point Blvd, Ste 215, South San Francisco, CA 94080 @ Google Map 得獎作品 scapegoat - something or someone else to blame. Thus, the term "China Virus" lit up the anger other race groups felt toward Asians. Next, we would hear about the staggering climbing reports on Asians being attacked by other racial groups. I've experienced such an attack verbally myself. One time, when I was shopping at a Walmart store in the East Bay, someone just blurted out in front of my face, "Go back to China!". Immediately, a furor rushed through my body from head to toes and I felt like I was going to explode but my head went blank. I did not know how to react. To this day, I still regret I didn't do anything although I feel lucky at times that I didn't get hurt physically unlike some other unfortunate cases we've heard. I have reflected a lot on the incident and come to realize the attacks had been the result of the irresponsible politicians' rhetoric fueling the frustration of the less educated people. We really must stand up and fight back the hate crime Asians have been experiencing. We must hold politicians accountable and vote out those who try to sow division and hate among voters to gain political advantage. I also think about our Asian history in this country. The Chinese immigrants have been a more likely target whenever there was an economic or political crisis. This has to do with our own culture which promotes the virtue of hard working and less complaint when facing adversity. Our generation needs to be more proactive and vocal in protesting against injustice. To stem hate from its root, we need to be united and send a strong message to the perpetrators, "Enough is enough!". We also need to be active advocates for more health education to teach the less educated that viruses have been always lurking around no matter where you are, who you are. We - the world as a whole - must always be prepared to fight against all odds. We can only win if we treat each other kindly and respect what Nature has to offer.
