On the evening of the 16th, the Guangxi Youth Alumni Association of the Eastern United States held the Welcome of New Immigrants and the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala at the Flushing Grand Restaurant. Wendy Li, a Chinese-American lawyer for the Democratic candidate for the Municipal Court District 2 judge in Manhattan, who won the primary, also visited to thank voters for their support.
Zhu Jiqing, president of the Guangxi Youth Alumni Association in the East Of the United States, said that as overseas students and immigrants, when they first came to the United States, they had a sense of loneliness and helplessness. In order to alleviate the helplessness of those who come to the United States alone, help them better obtain resources and integrate into the lives of overseas immigrants, the Guangxi Youth Alumni Association in eastern China will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and hold a party to welcome new students and new immigrants on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival. As early Guangxi immigrants to the United States, they gather with new international students and new immigrants to share their experience of studying abroad and immigrating. In addition, Zhu Jiqing said that Li Changyong's victory in the primary election should first be congratulated, and he hoped that she would continue to work hard and continue to speak out for the Chinese.

Li Changyong said that the successful victory in the primary election is inseparable from the support of Chinese voters, overseas Chinese groups and community organizations. In the next few weeks, she will visit the community and community voters one by one to express her heartfelt thanks to everyone. It is also expected to hold a large thank-you dinner in Chinatown. Through this campaign of no more than 100 days, visiting the community and contacting voters, she felt the unity of the Chinese community and voters in Chinatown the most profoundly, and in this primary voting, she explained that unity is strength. What touched her most was that she heard that some elderly people came out to vote deliberately, just to vote for Chinese lawyer candidates. For universal suffrage, Li Changyong said that she was very confident. At present, we have not heard of candidates from other parties, but we must not take it lightly, and we must continue to work hard to continue to engage with voters in the next 50 days, encourage Chinese voters to come out and vote, and have higher turnout in the general election. She hopes to bring more Chinese people to participate in politics and deliberations, only in this way will the strength of the Chinese community grow. (End)
