CCACC News - CCACC青少年舞龍隊燃動2025中國城遊行

美京華人活動中心 (CCACC) 青少年舞龍隊受邀參加美京中華會館 (CCBA) 舉辦的華埠中國城農曆新年遊行活動。這場年度盛事吸引了六十多支隊伍共襄盛舉,其中僅有六個團隊獲邀登台演出。CCACC青少年舞龍隊不僅脫穎而出,更是唯一獲邀登台表演的青少年隊伍,展現龍的精神,真所謂是龍的傳人!

2月2日,農曆大年初五,美京社區服務中心主任李皎皎及其團隊帶領青少年舞龍隊於上午11點半搭上兩輛中心巴士浩浩蕩蕩出發。CCACC聯合創始人李潮隨後趕到中國城與舞龍隊會和。大家到達遊行指定地點後,隊員們整裝待發,昂首挺胸加入遊行隊伍。孩子們手持金龍,步伐鏗鏘,龍身翻騰,威風凜凜,為遊行增添震撼視覺盛宴。沿街觀眾熱情如潮,掌聲、歡呼聲此起彼落,熱鬧非凡。

長距離的舞龍表演極為耗費體力,加之當日氣溫接近零度,寒風吹襲,但隊員們毫無懼色,咬牙堅持,依然全力以赴,展現最精彩的演出,將龍騰虎躍的氣勢發揮得淋漓盡致,令現場觀眾驚嘆不已。攝影師的鏡頭頻頻捕捉這群青春少年的英姿,他們的專注與拼搏精神,成為這場遊行中最閃耀的風景。贏得現場觀眾的熱烈掌聲與喝彩。孩子們的努力換來了最美好的回饋—掌聲、微笑、讚歎,以及攝影師們的特寫鏡頭。

遊行結束後,舞龍隊隊員們齊聚在舞台前,等待最後的壓軸登台表演。在寒風中,他們等待了近兩個小時,鼻頭都凍紅了,儘管體力已然透支,但沒有人選擇退出或休息。終於,在舞龍隊的壓軸時刻,孩子們以頑強的毅力和默契的配合,揮舞金龍,翻騰跳躍,將龍的力量與精神展現得淋漓盡致。最後,所有隊員一字排開,登上舞台,接受來自中華會館主席及貴賓們親手遞上的紅包,這份榮耀與肯定,是對他們最好的讚譽。

隨後,在現場震耳欲聾的地虎鞭炮與衝天煙火聲中,整場慶典推向最高潮。直到下午五點多點,整場活動才圓滿落幕。孩子們在嚴寒中堅持完成任務,展現難能可貴的精神與毅力,彰顯龍的傳人不屈不撓的精神!

值得一提的是,自2025年1月25日起,CCACC 青少年舞龍隊便開始為中心舉辦的農曆新年慶賀活動進行連場舞龍演出,並將於2月8日為 CCACC 最後一場農曆新年和元宵節慶典畫上圓滿句點。

在異鄉傳承中華文化,是一場使命,更是一場榮耀!我們為CCACC青少年舞龍隊的拼搏精神喝采!感謝每一位隊員、家長與義工的無私奉獻,因為有你們,龍的精神得以綿延不息,讓世界見證華夏兒女的驕傲!龍騰盛世,氣貫長虹!讓我們再次為這群龍的傳人,熱烈喝采!

CCACC News - 華盛頓Jackson Reed高中中文班學生熱情參觀CCACC

美京華人活動中心 (CCACC) 於2025年1月10日上午迎來40名來自華盛頓Jackson Reed高中K-12年級中文班的學生。他們在中文班的蘆憲老師和周麗雯老師的帶領下,在寒冷的冬日經過捷運與巴士的長途跋涉,來到位於蒙郡蓋城的CCACC,開啟一段充滿文化交流與體驗的旅程。

學生們的第一站是美京藝廊 (CCACC Art Gallery)。CCACC副會長張麗芳女士以簡潔的開場,代表會長兼美京藝廊館長孫文影女士歡迎師生們。緊接著,中心聯合創始人及歡樂日間保健中心的主任李潮先生以中文生動的介紹了中心的歷史與發展。他引用中的名言「老吾老以及人之老,幼吾幼以及人之幼」,闡述了中華文化中尊老愛幼的傳統價值,那也是CCACC秉承的服務宗旨。

在李主任的引導下,學生們踴躍發言,積極地嘗試使用中文進行互動,現場洋溢著熱烈又愉快的氣氛。

隨後,CCACC主任秘書周梅月女士向學生們介紹了正在美京藝廊展出的「此心安處是我家」—張恨水之女張明明個人展。周女士簡要的介紹藝術家張明明老師的創作,指引學生們如何欣賞。學生們在自由的駐足欣賞作品時,不禁讚嘆!

大家來到一樓的歡樂日間保健中心 (CCACC Adult Day Healthcare Center) 大堂。他們一一走上前台,用中文自我介紹;其中三位學生在眾人的鼓勵下演唱了中文歌曲,贏得陣陣喝彩。一名學生以英語即興演唱,更在表演中邀請耆老合唱互動,歡聲笑語不絕於耳。

活動最後,學生們齊聚音樂廳,觀看CCACC青少年舞龍隊參加國殤日遊行、農曆新年慶賀活動的影片。

臨近中午,學生們結束了CCACC之旅。這次活動讓學生們進一步認識中華文化的內涵與傳統,為自己的中文學習增添了更多興趣。

蘆憲和周麗雯兩位老師感謝CCACC的安排與接待,希望以後有機會繼續通過這類文化交流活動,加深青少年對中華文化的認識,讓更多年輕人了解並感受中華文化的魅力!

CCACC News - CCACC大華府華裔籃球公開賽決賽圓滿落幕

美京華人活動中心 (CCACC) 大華府華裔籃球公開賽決賽於日前圓滿結束, 冠軍隊是CBC,第二名是OHS,第三名是由房地產投資公司 Brightstar Capital 贊助的 Brightstar Capital (BC)。

決賽的第一個禮拜,兩場主要的比賽都顛覆了預賽的結果。第一場是預賽第四名的CBC對預賽第一名的BC。在預賽中,BC曾以73比44大勝,但決賽當天BC選手欠缺,勉強成軍。相反地,CBC的12名隊員全部到齊,再加上拖兒帶女龐大的啦啦隊,陣勢强大。從開場CBC就以快速的進攻,頻繁輪換球員,多點開花。另一邊,BC大將Caleb雖然也有很不錯的表現,拿到14分以及3個三分球,但總趕不上CBC的腳步。上半場CBC就以42比26領先,下半場BC仍以Caleb帶領反撲,又投進4個三分球外加14分,但還是難敵CBC的兵多將廣,三個人有10分以上,而且幾乎人人得分,終場CBC以73比49,一雪前恥。決賽的第二場是由預賽第二名的Move Free對上第三名的OHS,預賽時,Move Free以兩分贏過OHS。這次重逢,OHS發揮的比較穩定,有三位得分都超過15分,繼而反敗為勝以63比51贏得勝利,爭取到冠亞軍賽的資格。
決賽最後一天的季軍賽,預測是奪冠熱門的BC 及Move Free兩隊對決。在預賽階段,BC以兩分小勝利。這次重逢,兩隊實力依然是旗鼓相當。兩邊都只有五六個人,戰況也一直膠著難分。Move Free 的Wilson 一支獨秀,投進7個三分球,上下半場各得 22分及25分。BC隊比較平均,五個球員得分全都上雙,Gee的8個三分球以及30分,加上Caleb的5個三分球和21分,奠定了最後BC以81比76贏得第三名。

冠亞軍賽是CBC對陣OHS。預賽時,OHS 曾以47比35贏過CBC,但決賽時CBC仍然承襲兵多將廣及啦啦隊的氣勢,在主將Daren 個人拿到22分的強勢帶領下,從容地以59比46擊敗OHS奪得冠軍。值得一提的是,這次CBC在預賽只是第四名,在決賽分別以24分以及13分贏了回他們在預賽時候輸了29分以及12分的對手。風水倒轉,其實其來有自,是基於全隊隊員及後援的團隊合作精神所致。

今年比賽圓滿結束,頒獎典禮由美京社區服務中心主任李皎皎女士親臨頒獎,祈望明年更熱鬧,辦得更好。

The Chinese Culture and Community Service Center (CCACC) and Westfield Montgomery held a grand Lunar New Year celebration on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at Westfield Montgomery Mall, attracting numerous residents to participate and enjoy this festive occasion filled with joy and traditional charm.

The event commenced at 10:40 AM with a Dragon Parade performed by the CCACC Youth Dragon Team inside the mall. Led by Catherine Brady, Marketing Director of Westfield Montgomery, and special guests Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans from Netflix's reality show "Love Is Blind," the Dragon Team paraded around the mall's main stores and the Food Court.

At 11:00 AM, they returned to the central stage to officially open the celebration, instantly drawing a large crowd of spectators and creating a lively and bustling atmosphere. Following this, the event hosts, Ms. Dorothy Lin and Mr. Charlie Tatum, took the stage to extend heartfelt New Year greetings to the guests and audience in attendance.

Honored guests arrive to extend their congratulations
As introduced by the hosts, Ned Li (CCACC Co-founder & Director of CCACC Adult Day Healthcare Center, as well as the chief coordinator of this event) was the first to take the stage to deliver a welcome speech. On behalf of Rita Lewi, Executive Director of CCACC, he warmly welcomed the distinguished guests and audience and extended his heartfelt New Year wishes. He also introduced the Chinese meaning of the pair of grand spring couplets hanging prominently on display, leaving the guests in awe.

Ms. Brady then introduced and invited the special guests, Krause and Josemans, to the stage, prompting a wave of applause and cheers throughout the mall.

Next, Susan Lee, Maryland Secretary of State, took the stage alongside Chung K. Pak, Chief Administrative Law Judge of the Maryland Office of Administrative Hearings, to deliver a speech.

In his speech, County Executive Elrich emphasized the important contributions of the Asian community to Montgomery County's multicultural landscape and reaffirmed that the county government will continue to support the development of the Asian community. Councilmember Kristin Mink specifically mentioned her Chinese heritage and expressed great pride in CCACC's achievements.

Maxwell Uy, Montgomery County Sheriff, along with Sean O'Donnell, County Deputy Chief Health Officer, and Kimberly Y. Johnson, Director of Area Agency on Aging of Montgomery County Department of Health & Human Services, took the stage to deliver speeches.

Julie Yang, President of Montgomery County Board of Education and CCACC Board Member, then spoke on behalf of the education sector and presented a citation to CCACC, recognizing its outstanding achievements in education and cultural preservation.

The spectacular performance captivated the audience
After the speeches by the distinguished guests, the event moved into the exciting performances part. First, performers from Shaolin Hung Fun Kung Fu presented a thrilling Lion Dance. Their superb skills ignited the atmosphere, and in particular, CCACC had specially prepared red envelopes to be distributed to the guests, audience, and children. Everyone eagerly fed the red envelopes to the lion, perfectly showcasing the traditional culture of the Lunar New Year.

The celebration featured a variety of performances, showcasing both traditional and modern arts. Martial arts were demonstrated by students from the US Wushu Academy, followed by captivating Chinese folk dances from the Madison Chinese Dance Academy. The Washington DC Taiwanese School (WDCTS) Yo-Yo Club impressed with their skillful performance.

Traditional arts were highlighted with live Chinese calligraphy and Guzheng music, while the CCACC Evergreen Tai Chi Club performed a Tai Chi Sword. Yi Dance Studio presented an umbrella dance, and Xiaorong Dance Studio performed a folk dance. The CCACC Evergreen Club Choir and members of CCACC Evergreen Club also performed a range of songs and musical pieces.

Other performances included a violin solo, Peking opera, and folk dances, as well as a dance performance by the Potomac Chinese School Parent Dance Class and line dance from CCACC Line Dance Club. There were also multiple Tibetan dance performances and a Rhythmic Tai Chi performance by the CCACC Yah Jue Music Tai Chi Class.

The performances part concluded with a flute solo by Jianchun Wang, followed by a K-Pop dance by CStar Inc. The DMV Qipao Fashion Dance Group showcased traditional Chinese attire with a Qipao Fashion Show.

Finally, we invited the children in the audiences to join the Little Dragon Play, and the cultural program concluded in a lively and festive atmosphere.

CCACC also prepared traditional handicraft and calligraphy booths, as well as a ping-pong automatic ball machine for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, the "Clothing Drive" received a warm response, adding love and warmth to the celebration.

Looking forward to meeting again
The spectacular performances, traditional cultural experiences, and enthusiastic participation in charity left every guest and audience member immersed in joy and warmth. We sincerely appreciate all the guests, performing groups, and volunteers who supported and participated in the event. A special gratitude to Ned Li (CCACC Co-founder and chief coordinator of this event), Chiao-Chiao Liu (Director of CCACC Community Services) and her team for their dedicated efforts and hard work behind the scenes.

CCACC News - CCACC Art Gallery Launches Mingming Cheung's Solo Exhibition

The CCACC Art Gallery held a successful opening reception of Mingming Cheung's solo exhibition, "The Home Is Where the Heart Lies," on Saturday, January 18, 2025, attracting over 100 guests. Maryland State Delegate Joseph Vogel presented a citation to the artist.

The citation was to congratulate the launch of Cheung's 7-week solo exhibition and recognize her founding of the Chinese Culture and Art League (CCAL) for promoting diverse arts in the community. In return, Cheung gifted Delegate Vogel a watercolor painting titled "Lighthouse," leaving him pleasantly surprised and deeply moved.

The opening reception began at 2:00 PM last Saturday, with Rita Lewi, Executive Director of CCACC and Director of CCACC Art Gallery, giving an opening remarks, warmly welcoming the guests and introducing the exhibit artist, Mingming Cheung. Lewi highlighted that CCAL has maintained a close partnership with CCACC for many years, jointly organizing numerous cultural exchange events.

DongPei He, Executive Director of CCAL, echoed Lewi's words by reflecting on the history of collaborations between CCAL and CCACC, while emphasizing Cheung's role in fostering cultural and artistic exchange between China and the United States. Acclaiming Cheung as "an outstanding watercolor artist," Dongpei He shared that before COVID-19, Cheung taught watercolor classes at CCACC headquarters; during COVID-19, however, Cheung started to teach online. Despite fighting cancer, Cheung has remained dedicated to both her art and teaching for over a decade. She captures the beauty of everyday life with her paintbrush and enthusiastically leads her students in exploring the limitless possibilities of watercolor art. Among the works exhibited are several depictions of familiar landmarks in the Greater Washington area, such as the Potomac River, illustrating Cheung's deep appreciation for life and her surroundings.

Next, Cheung went on stage to deliver a speech. She began by expressing her sincere gratitude to Lewi, Kit-Keung Kan, Senior Advisor of CCACC Art Gallery, May Zhou, Executive Secretary of CCACC, and all the friends who supported the exhibition. She reminisced about how the CCACC Art Gallery has provided a platform for Chinese artists to showcase their work over the years.

Cheung stated that the works on display primarily feature her watercolor creations from the past decade, including still lifes, florals, and landscapes of her beloved Greater Washington area. These pieces reflect her meticulous observations of everyday life and her profound appreciation for the beauty of nature. Cheung humbly asked the audience to provide feedback and suggestions on her artworks.

Finally, Dongpei He introduced CCAL, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting cultural interaction between China and the United States. Since its inception in 2010, CCAL has received enthusiastic support from esteemed senior artists, who have greatly contributed to accomplishing its mission.

Among the participants of the opening reception were Ned Li, Cofounder of CCACC and Director of CCACC Adult Day Healthcare Center; Chih-Hsiang Li, Cofounder of CCACC and Director of CCACC Sports; Jane Yang, Secretary of CCACC Board of Directors; Li-Fang C. Liu, Deputy Executive Director of CCACC; May Zhou, Executive Secretary of CCACC; Kit-Keung Kan, Senior Advisor of CCACC Art Gallery; and many members of CCAL.

"The Home Is Where the Heart Lies" exhibition will be run until February 28, 2025. We cordially invite people from all walks of life to visit and immerse themselves in Cheung's artistic world, experiencing the tranquility and beauty captured in her works, and exploring the endless charm of watercolor art.

CCACC extends its heartfelt thanks to CCAL for their generous donation to the CCACC Art Gallery, which has made a significant contribution to promoting artistic and cultural exchange.

在現場幫忙的其他中心同仁和義工有: 美京社區服務中心主任李皎皎、CCACC常青社社長劉佳、後勤支援總管董一明、維修專員高潤坤、美京居家護理中心註冊專員助理馬賽及其夫婿Peter Qi、美京醫療中心主任陸惠興女士的夫婿潘先生、孫政與其女友、Alexander Felberg、季素梅、鐘萍、吴婕、張燕馳、秦朗、閻平。

CCACC News - 「此心安處是我家」張恨水之女張明明個展完美開幕 馬州眾議員Joseph Vogel親來祝賀

美京藝廊 (CCACC Art Gallery) 於2025年1月18日 (週六) 成功舉辦「此心安處是我家」張恨水之女張明明個展的開幕茶會,吸引了逾百位來賓前來參加。馬里蘭州眾議員Joseph Vogel先生親赴藝廊為張明明女士頒發褒揚狀。

開幕茶會於當日下午二時準時開始。美京華人活動中心 (CCACC) 會長及美京藝廊館長孫文影女士首先致詞,對到場的嘉賓表示熱烈歡迎,並隆重介紹本次個展的主角—藝術家張明明女士。孫館長提及,張明明女士創立的「中華文化藝術同盟」 (Chinese Culture and Art League, CCAL) 與CCACC有著多年的緊密合作,曾共同推動了多場文化交流活動。

隨後,CCAL現任會長何東培女士發表感言。她回憶起CCAL與CCACC攜手合作的歷史,尤其提到張明明女士作為一名中美文化藝術交流的使者,曾協助國內藝術家在美京藝廊展出作品,讓更多人看到華人藝術的獨特魅力;也曾熱心地帶著美國華人藝術家在中國北京、安徽、江蘇、福建、廣東等地舉辦六場展覽。何女士介紹道: 「張明明老師是水彩畫領域的傑出藝術家,她在疫情前於CCACC開設水彩課程,疫情期間轉為網絡授課,十多年來始終堅持創作與教學。她以畫筆記錄生活中的點滴美好,並熱心帶領學員探索水彩藝術的無限可能。此次展出作品中,有多幅描畫的是大家都很熟悉的大華府地區的著名風景,比如,波多馬克河,由此可見明明老師是一位非常熱愛生活的藝術家。」

緊接著在一陣熱烈的掌聲歡迎中,張明明老師上台致詞。她首先感謝孫文影館長、美京藝廊資深顧問靳杰強老師、CCACC主任秘書周梅月女士,以及所有支持本次展覽的朋友們。她深情回憶起美京藝廊多年來為華人藝術家提供的展示平台, 並說,本次展出的作品以她最近十年的水彩創作為主,涵蓋靜物、花草,以及她深愛的華府地區的風景寫生。這些作品傳遞出她對日常生活的細膩觀察和對自然之美的深刻體悟,張老師以謙遜的態度懇請大家多多給予她的作品建議。

最後,何東培女士為大家介紹了CCAL。此一非營利機構為張明明女士於退休後在蔡德誠老師的協助下所創建,希望為中美文化互動做出貢獻。一經創立就得到了德高望重的藝術家傅鐸若、毛戎、王純傑、靳杰強等人的熱心支持,並第一時間加盟。

下午三時,馬里蘭州眾議員Joseph Vogel先生特地前來祝賀張明明老師個展的成功舉辦,並向她頒發了一份褒揚狀,表彰其創立CCAL,對社區多元化藝術做出的傑出貢獻。為表感謝,張明明老師特地贈送一幅題為的畫作給Vogel眾議員,這份用心的禮物令他倍感驚喜。

當日出席開幕茶會的來賓包括CCACC聯合創始人及歡樂日間保健中心主任李潮先生、CCACC聯合創始人及美京博翊館主任李志翔先生、CCACC董事會秘書楊靜芬女士、CCACC常務副會長張麗芳女士、CCACC主任秘書周梅月女士、美京藝廊資深顧問靳杰強老師以及CCAL的會員們。

茶會期間,大家一邊享用豐盛的茶點,一邊暢談藝術,現場洋溢著溫馨愉悅的氛圍。「此心安處是我家」張明明個展將持續至2025年2月28日。我們邀請各界人士前來參觀,一同走進張明明老師的藝術世界,感受她筆下的靜謐與美好,探索水彩藝術的無窮魅力。

CCACC在此特別感謝CCAL對美京藝廊的愛心捐款,為推廣藝術文化交流貢獻了重要力量。
