David Diebold @ ChinaValue.Net: It was really a great honor to fly to Washington to represent Li Huai and his magnificent Yanda International Health City now nearing completion on the east side of Beijing, at the recent flag raising ceremony in front of the White House in Washington, D.C., marking the 60th Anniversary of the People’s Republic. It was such a picture-perfect day. The huge number of people attending and the traditional dragon dancing, demonstrations of martial arts, singing of Chinese songs, and other performances by the local Chinese-American community created such a festive and happy air.

When the American and Chinese flags were finally raised by representatives of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, to the music of our respective national anthems, you could sense the pride that everyone felt, whether Chinese or American, in being part of such a special, historic celebration of the Chinese-American relationship. My own favorite moment was joining China’s Ambassador to the US, Zhou Wenzhong and other notable guests in holding up a large Chinese flag before the crowd, just after the two flags had been officially raised. What a happy day – happy anniversary China!
大卫-迪博尔德@价值中国网:真的很荣幸我能够代表国际健康城(位于北京近郊)飞往华盛顿,参加为了庆祝中华人民共和国成立60周年,在华盛顿白宫前举行的升旗仪式,这真是美好的一天!参加的人非常多,并且有中国传统的舞龙、武术表演和中国歌曲演唱,以及当地的华人社区演出了其他节目,现场充满了欢乐和幸福。

随着中国国歌和美国国歌的音乐声响起,中国国旗和美国国旗最终由中国使馆的代表在华盛顿升起,此刻,无论是中国人还是美国人,都感到无比骄傲。在这样一个特殊的时刻,历史性的庆祝活动体现了中美两国友好的关系。我最兴奋的时刻,是和中国驻美大使周文重以及其它客人一起举起一面巨大的中国国旗,看着它冉冉升起,感到非常高兴,多么快乐的日子。祝中华人民共和国华诞快乐!
