On a scorching summer afternoon in Las Vegas, thousands of people converged on the street outside the federal courthouse. It was June 14, 2025—a day that would quietly mark itself in the minds of those present. Nearly 8,000 individuals gathered, not to endorse any political figure, but to remind one another: this nation was neverContinue reading “No Kings, No Tyranny: A Protest That Rekindled Our Memory of Institutions”

教中文，不只是教语言 —— 华人父母的隐形传承
文｜伍月 “你为什么要教孩子中文？” 每一个在海外育儿的华人家长，大概都被问过这个问题——或许不是别人问的，而是某一天在整理作业、纠正发音、苦口婆心解释一个中文词时，心里升起的疑问。尤其是当孩子眉头一皱、不耐烦地问：“我以后又不住中国，干嘛要学？” 有时候，这个问题会刺痛我们内心的柔软处——那个曾经离家千里的自己，那些渐渐模糊的童年词汇，那些想和父母深谈却词不达意的电话夜晚。 但慢慢地，我们会发现：我教孩子中文，其实是为了我们自己。
Teaching Chinese Is More Than Teaching a Language — The Unspoken Legacy of Chinese Parents
By May “Why do you teach your child Chinese?” Every Chinese parent raising a child overseas has likely encountered this question—not always from others, but sometimes in quiet moments, while sorting homework, correcting pronunciation, or patiently explaining a character. Especially when your child frowns and says, ‘I’m not going to live in China. Why doContinue reading “Teaching Chinese Is More Than Teaching a Language — The Unspoken Legacy of Chinese Parents”
我教孩子中文，是为了谁？
文｜新语 “Can you speak Chinese?”“Uh… just a little.” 那天放学接孩子回家，我听见她和另一个亚裔小朋友这样对话。语气轻飘，带点羞怯，有点回避。我知道她能说中文——至少在家里，她说得并不差。但她，选择了轻轻地，把中文从自己身上拨开。 那一瞬间，我感到一种很细碎却真实的痛。不是为我自己，而是为她。也许她不是真的抗拒中文，而是——不知道该如何承认那部分的自己。 ——

I know she can speak Chinese—at least at home, she does quite well.But in that moment, sheContinue reading “Why Do I Teach My Child Chinese—And Who Is It Really For?”
清洁能源需要清晰良知：观察 NV Energy 与内华达环保联盟的分歧
文 / 内华达华人视角 内华达州正迅速崛起为美国清洁能源的领跑者。从“绿色通道”输电计划到与大型科技公司的合作，NV Energy 在推动全州向可再生能源转型中扮演着不可或缺的角色。而与此同时，内华达环保联盟（Nevada Conservation League, 简称 NCL）等民间环保组织则不断呼吁，在加速绿色转型的同时，也必须确保这一进程的公平与正义。 因此，当 NV Energy 提出将居民电费上调 9% 的计划，并遭到 NCL 强烈反对时，公众不禁疑惑：既然双方都支持清洁能源，为什么还会发生如此明显的分歧？
[Green Card Guide] A Green Card Isn’t the Final Stop: Who Should Consider U.S. Citizenship Sooner Rather Than Later?
For many Chinese immigrants, obtaining a U.S. green card marks a major milestone on their immigration journey. But having a green card doesn’t guarantee long-term security. Although it grants lawful permanent residency, it does not ensure “permanent safety.” Any misstep—whether in travel patterns, tax filing, or prolonged overseas stays—can put your status at risk.

【绿卡指南】绿卡不是终点：哪些人应尽早考虑入籍美国？
对于许多华人来说，拿到美国绿卡是移民路上的重要里程碑，但这并不意味着“身份无忧”。绿卡虽是美国的永久居留权，却并不等于“永久安全”，尤其在出入境、税务申报或居住安排稍有不慎时，身份都可能受到质疑。 相比之下，入籍成为美国公民意味着更高的法律保障、更强的自由度和更稳定的家庭规划空间。当然，这也伴随着一个关键变化：入籍即改变原有国籍身份。对于不承认双重国籍的国家（如中国），入籍美国将被视为自动放弃中国国籍。因此，是否入籍是一个涉及法律、现实与情感的重大决定。 本篇文章将为你分析——哪些绿卡持有者应尽早考虑入籍？
