He hoped that the overseas Chinese group would unite and love each other, support each other, and at the same time make the overseas Chinese live better and safer in the United States and enjoy their due status. .

　　Qin Gang said that the Chinese Aid Center should not only unite overseas Chinese groups and provide good services, but also communicate more with the local community in the United States to spread and promote the excellent Chinese culture.

For example, kindness and kindness to neighbors, harmony and friendship, these are all part of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and they are also the genes flowing in the blood of every descendant of Yan and Huang.
