Starting from the concept of overseas Chinese finance, combined with the characteristic resources of Datang Street, Mr. Chen analyzed how to implement the differentiated development strategy, explore the facilitation of overseas Chinese remittance settlement, build a cross-border financial service platform, and deeply serve the overseas Chinese and Chinese customers.

The delegates who came to participate in the event saw the familiar pictures on the theme wall of the Datang Street Overseas Chinese Home, and recalled the joy of accepting the title of "National Community Overseas Chinese Affairs Demonstration Unit" issued by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council that year, the vigorous beat of participating in the Datang District Badminton Team Competition, the joy of dancing the "Welcoming the National Day and Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival" garden tour in the Datang area, and the sacred vote of the Datang Street Overseas Chinese Federation General Election...... Each photo freezes the shared memories and becomes a witness to each other's growth.
When everyone was still chatting about the past, Aunt Yang, who was sitting next to the bookshelf, found the careful thinking of this "overseas Chinese culture" space, there were many books that she wanted to know about the national conditions of her son's immigration country, and the magnifying glass lying quietly on the round table "timely" solved the problem of her old dizziness, I heard that in the future, "voice volunteers" will be introduced here to read for the elderly, Aunt Yang was very happy, and was so excited that she almost made a transatlantic phone call to wake up her son and share the joy.
When Mr. Ye, a returned overseas Chinese, saw the photo of "participating in politics" on the propaganda board, he excitedly told the story to everyone present: it was the story of the people's congress deputies at the city and district levels entering the station (Datang Street People's Congress Representative Center Liaison Station) at the end of 2023 to relieve the worries of overseas Chinese. He said: "Mr. Xu, a returned overseas Chinese from the United States in the photo, has been seeking the help of relevant departments for many years to solve the problem of indiscriminate parking on the nameless road downstairs in the community, but to no avail. Later, through the Datang Street Federation of Overseas Chinese, the public opinion was reflected, and then the Datang Street People's Congress Working Committee intervened to play a role in democratic supervision, and the problem was finally properly solved with the joint efforts of various government departments, effectively unblocking the emergency channel in the jurisdiction, and also dredging the 'heart knot' of the overseas Chinese community. ”
