總編 劉麗容

親愛的讀者朋友們，

蛇年已近尾聲，馬年即將來臨，在此謹祝福各位讀者馬年行大運，身體健康、平安喜樂。

迎接新年的本期封面人物，是現任聖地牙哥市議員——李勤富（Kent Lee）。李勤富市議員於2022年當選，成為繼譚卓儀先生之後，聖地牙哥再度出現的華裔民選市議員。他出生於洛杉磯，擁有東南亞成長背景，是一位年輕有為、備受期待的華裔政治人物，也是我們社群共同的驕傲。

回顧過去，聖地牙哥早在多年前即有譚卓儀先生參選市議員並以高票當選；多年之後，李勤富市議員在廣大支持下踏入政壇，至今已服務市政三年。本期內容將與讀者分享他的成長背景，以及從政以來的歷程與實踐，期盼他持續精進、日新又新，為聖地牙哥與社區帶來更多正向改變。

此外，本期亦特別推出華人人物故事——劉攻芸先生。回望上個世紀的風雲變幻，留下許多可歌可泣的人物與篇章。時過境遷，然忠義不改，我們由衷敬佩劉先生高風亮節、堅守原則、操守卓然的精神風範，值得後人銘記與傳承。

希望本期呈現的中華裔社群榜樣力量，無論是年輕領袖還是歷史人物，都能為我們帶來啟發與鼓舞。

To Our Readers

As the Year of the Snake draws to a close and the Year of the Horse approaches, we extend our warmest wishes to all our readers for good health, happiness, and good fortune.

The cover figure of this New Year issue is Kent Lee, a member of the San Diego City Council. Elected in 2022, he is the first Chinese American city councilmember since Mr. Tom Hom. Born in Los Angeles and shaped by a Southeast Asian upbringing, Councilmember Lee represents a new generation of Chinese American leadership and is a source of pride for our community.

Now in his third year of public service, this issue highlights his background and experiences in office, and his continued commitment to serving the City of San Diego and its communities.

This issue also features a profile of Mr. Liu Gong-yun(劉攻芸), an admirable figure whose life reflects integrity, loyalty, and enduring moral character worthy of remembrance.

We hope that the exemplary figures featured in this issue of the Chinese American community—whether emerging young leaders or historical icons—will inspire and uplift us all.
