On 4/1, Chinese People’s Federation for World Peace – USA (CPFWP-USA) and New York Chinese School jointly held a Filial Piety Three-Generation Family Award Ceremony at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (Zhonghua Public Office) in Chinatown, New York, aiming to promote family values and filial piety culture, and to praise filial piety and happiness in the family, to promote the noble virtues of the traditional Chinese “filial piety first”.

Amy Yang, the president of CPFWP-USA, witnessed about his grandfather and father. Because of the spirit of her grandfather and the filial piety of her parents to her grandparents, she was able to inherit this, so she can stand in this position today.

Wang Xianyun, the principal of New York Chinese School, said that the purpose of New York Chinese School is to inherit Chinese culture and language. Through this event, in addition to promoting Chinese culture, it also hopes to stimulate the society’s attention to family education.

In this event, a total of 11 families received the crystal trophy for three generations of filial piety, which was awarded by CPFWP-USA. The winners include three-generation, four-generation, cross-cultural, supra-national, and Christian families. There were also touching stories of sacrificing time to take care of sick parents, passing on the spirit of the previous generation with their children, and educating the next generation. The awardees each exemplify filial piety. The family of Fu Weiming, the son of Chairman Fu Xianqing, the founder of the Fu Foundation, is one of the awardees. On behalf of Chairman Fu Xianqing, he received the award and delivered a speech, encouraging everyone to pass on the words of gratitude left by the ancestors and spread the spirit of three generations living under one roof.

In this event, New York Chinese School also presented outstanding young volunteer awards to volunteer students and teachers, thanking them for their efforts and contributions to New York Chinese School in New York.

At this event, Christopher Marte, member of the first district of the New York City Council, came to deliver a speech, expressing that we will continue to inherit the beautiful traditions and make our city greater. In addition, the speakers also included Professor Thomas Huang, President of CPFWP-International, Dr. Chung Sik Yong, President of Family Federation for World Peace and Unification – North America, Yu Jinshan, Chairman of the New York Branch of the Asian Pacific American Public Affairs Alliance, Ambassador U. Joy Ogwu, a former Nigerian diplomat, and New York Pastor Zhuliang Zhao of Winfield Reformed Church. They expressed the impact of filial piety on individuals and society, and shared their personal experience on how to practice filial piety in life.

The conference was also interspersed with performances, including the “Loyalty to Serve the Country Fan Dance” by the Liancheng Manhattan Song and Dance Troupe, and two performances by preschoolers and fourth graders from the New York Chinese School: “Mom and Dad Thank You” and “Children The Sky”, showing the beauty of Chinese culture. In addition, there were martial arts performances brought by the Unified Martial Arts Troupe. Participating with the whole family of President Amy Yang, her son Takayoshi Miyamoto presided over the whole program and the song of peace was brought by her husband Andrew Miyamoto and made the conference even more exciting.

About 300 people participated in the conference. With the global online live broadcast, it was also the first event jointly organized by CPFWP-USA and the New York Chinese School, which was particularly meaningful.
