Preface

​

The Golden Maple Chinese Seniors Association wishes everyone a new year filled with sunshine and health as enduring as the pine and cypress; may your hearts be full of poetic dreams and your homes as beautiful as blooming gardens. May everything go your way, and may your days be as lovely as poetry and painting!

We sincerely thank the New Horizon Seniors Group for joining hands with Golden Maple to share this poetic and heartwarming evening together. Tonight's New Year Poetry Recital is a symphony of verse and genuine emotion—within every line lies our yearning for a better life. Through clear and melodious readings, we not only share the essence of Chinese culture but also express our most heartfelt wishes and emotions.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to every organizer, reciter, and volunteer whose dedication made this evening so vibrant and beautiful. It is your effort and devotion that wove this starry sky, allowing us to drift through a sea of poetry and cherish this warm moment together.

May everyone continue to embrace a youthful spirit and joyful heart in the coming year. As we immerse ourselves in the gentle rhythm of these poems, let us look ahead to a brighter future and write even more brilliant chapters together!
