Dear members and friends of Boston Forward,
As we celebrate the Lantern Festival and Valentine’s Day this Friday, I would like to wish you and your family good health and happiness in the Chinese New Year of the Horse. Hopefully, Boston Forward will achieve more in promoting equality and defending civil rights among underrepresented minorities this year with help and support from all of you.
At the New England Chinese Professionals Lunar New Year Gala, one of the largest Chinese New Year celebrations in this region, on Feb. 1, 2014, Boston Forward made debut appearance as a group. Not only Boston Forward won the support from various professional associations, there were also more than 20 professionals filling in the registration form to join us in the booth. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Dr. Pengcheng Zhu for providing the NeoBioPharma’s booth to Boston Forward during the community forum in the afternoon. At the evening banquet, Boston Forward was given the opportunity to introduce itself to hundreds of the guests.

2月8日去参加了北京天津同乡会的联欢,天气晴朗,心情开畅,见到许多平常不大见到的朋友,兴奋开心。很多人见到我能够健步如飞,不像两年以前我去台湾旅行的时候还要小儿子推了我的轮椅,我现在可以不用拐棍,进进出出上上下下都没有问题。我一年内左右两个膝盖关节都全部换过,吃了四五年的止痛药,已经两年没有碰它们了。
我跟我的骨科医生说,我不会再回来了,因为我没有第三条腿。医生提醒我,还是当心一些,我不要你再回来,为了别的骨头方面的事情来让我头痛。

Dear Century Chinese Language School (CCLS) Families:
Last Sunday, we all gathered at Algonquin High to celebrate the Chinese New Year, to recognize those who have made a notable contribution to CCLS, and, most importantly, to watch our children on stage demonstrating the proficiency of their Chinese language. That moment of time seemed to pass quickly, but it will be locked away forever by the memories of our parents, teachers, and students.
