China News Service, December 15th. According to the American Overseas Chinese News Network, with the support of the NIA community service network in New York and local elected officials, the Chinese-inhabited areas of Brooklyn Bay Ridge, Dyke Heights, and Benson Market in New York The Christmas lights are lit one after another, bringing festive joy to the communities and people that have been hit hard by the epidemic.
With Christmas approaching, the Christmas lights that have been lit up all over the city at this time in previous years have become difficult this year.
However, the sky between 68th Street and 83rd Street, 13th Avenue in Brooklyn Dyke Heights, where the Chinese live, has recently been lit up again by Christmas lights, sending people a festive warmth on cold nights.
In addition, Dyke Park at 14th Avenue and 86th Street and a pavilion at Coastal Road and 90th Street are also lit up with Christmas trees.
It is reported that these lights and Christmas trees are sponsored by State Senator Gonard, City Councillor Ji Siting and local banks.
Before the epidemic, people would hold various traditional ceremonies to commemorate the coming of the festival.
However, due to the pandemic of the new crown pneumonia this year, various lighting ceremonies held at the scene were cancelled.
However, the NIA community service network believes that the lighting of these lights in the current special period is more symbolic.
