  • 马粤在波士顿统促会成立大会上的演讲

    马粤，纽约中国和平统一促进会会长于2013年9月14日麻州剑桥市凯悦酒店

    首先，请允许我代表纽约中国和平统一促进会（简称：统促会）全体成员，向波士顿统促会致以热烈的祝贺！

    民族的统一、国家领土的完整，直接关系着中国的和平崛起以及中华民族的伟大复兴，是实现“中国梦”的必要前提。因此，促进及维护中国的和平统一是世界各地中华儿女的共同使命。多年来，海外华人华侨的反独促统事业在各统促会同仁们的共同努力下，取得了很大的成果。今天海峡两岸和平发展的大好局势，与我们华人华侨长年的努力有着密切的关联。然而，祖国的统一、民族的伟大复兴依然任重道远。我们需要更多的同胞与我们一起继续将反独促统事业向前推进。

    I. The Lady – Chang Er

    The time of this story is around 2170 B.C. The earth once had ten suns circling over it, each took its turn to illuminate to the earth. But one day all ten suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat. The earth was saved by a strong and tyrannical archer Hou Yi. He succeeded in shooting down nine of the suns. One day, Hou Yi stole the elixir of life from a goddess. However his beautiful wife Chang Er drank the elixir of life in order to save the people from her husband’s tyrannical rule. After drinking it, she found herself floating and flew to the moon. Hou Yi loved his divinely beautiful wife so much, he didn’t shoot down the moon.

    Note: Chang’e 1 Lunar orbiter was launched to the moon on October 24, 2007. The Chang’e moon satellite, named after Chang Er, will take 3-D images of the moon surface for yearlong. This is the groundwork for the next Lunar Lander (Chang’e  2) project in 2012 , Lunar Sample Return (Chang’e 3) in 2017 and Chinese astronaut on the moon project.
