疫情席卷全球巳进入第三个年头了，疫情的严峻直接影响着民生，导致人们对生活一改以往的热情，心情朦上了灰暗，脚步也不得不放慢。
然而，这些却丝毫没有影响到一直坚持用积极的态度面对生活、努力工作，总是想着如何为这个社会付出更多，如何才能为改变现状出一分力量，如何更能彰显和团结起华人社会迸发出强大的力量的杨树漪(Sylvia)。
就在昨天4月22日晚上，在北岸的Northridge Country Lodge北岭村庄园，出现了一幕令人振奋的、能鼓舞士气的激动场面，那就是杨树漪和她的竞选伙伴Jake Law联合举办了竞选发布会，正式宣布即将参加Albany Ward 市议员竞选！
杨树漪(Sylvia)是一名影视制片人， 参与众多国际影视项目，如《木兰》、《大主宰》等。
Sylvia曾制作出品新西兰首部原创话语音乐剧《La Musical》，网剧《晴天.有雨》，mtv《茉莉花唱响新西兰》，大型公益艺术活动《微笑，中国！》等项目。
2008年加入“新西兰中国友好协会”，任秘书长， 副会长等职位。如今是友协Youth Club主席。2010年加入“新西兰中华青年联合会”任副会长，如今是青联顾问。Sylvia还在奥克兰博物馆担任义工解说员。
Jake是一名教师， 曾在新西兰和中国任教多年。能说流利的中文，对中国文化也非常了解。他和Sylvia一同在奥克兰子玄草堂学习书法与国学。Jake今年当选梅西大学生会会长。
到会的嘉宾主要来自政界的前辈和各领域的洋人代表。他们有， Jake的爷爷前Rodney市长John Law ， Upper Harbour 区议员Nicholas Mayne和Hibiscus and Bays区议员Janet Fitzgerald 等本地支持者。
出席的还有华人精英，新西兰星光文联刘羽西主席、Jimmy construction公司任中杰董事长以及《新西兰报》Susan社长等支持者也前来为即将参加竞选的杨树漪和Jake打气加油！
会上Jake的爷爷前Rodney市长John Law 以及当地的社团代表分别发言，他们讲述了参政议政的重要性和必要性。他们介绍了自己经验，和对社会的祈盼。他们更多的是为两位参选的年轻人打气，号召更多年轻人参政议政。
整个场面气氛热烈，热情高涨，久遗的欢乐笑脸再次呈现。这是一场让人热血沸腾、让人鼓舞的晚会。
事实上，华人普遍不问政治，始终是华人从政路上的桎梏。甚至有华人连手中的投票权都放弃了，也造成当地社会对华人长期以来的刻板印象。
很欣慰我们的华人同胞又多了参政议政的一员，又即将产生一个为华人发声的议员。
当晚《新西兰报》记者曹正加和申睿霖釆访了杨树漪和Jake。
杨树漪表示：”希望社区之间可以加深理解，为华裔以及亚裔社区赢得更多的尊重。为了达成这样的目标，自己愿意成为社区之间的桥梁。同时希望更多人也能站出来，去做自己力所能及的事”。
而Jake则”希望可以加强与其他议员之间的合作，加强议员之间的关系。自己会跟随祖父的脚步，成为一名优秀的政治家，活用自己作为教师的经历，为社区服务”。
我们衷心希望有更多的华人参政议政，衷心希望他们参选成功！期待他们有更出色的表现！
Epidemic is now in its third year of sweeping the world, and the severity of epidemic is directly affecting people’s livelihoods. It has led to a change in people’s enthusiasm for life, and their moods have turned gray, and their pace has had to slow down.
However, this has not affected in any way to keep facing life with a positive attitude and working hard. We always think about how to do more for this society, how to contribute to the change of the status quo, how to unite the Chinese community to burst out a strong force of Sylvia (Sylvia).
Yesterday evening, April 22nd, at the Northridge Country Lodge Northridge Village Estate on the North Shore, there was an exciting and morale-boosting scene. That’s when Sylvia and Jake Law co-hosted a campaign launch event to officially announce their upcoming candidacy for Albany Ward City Council!
Sylvia is a film and television producer. She has worked on many international film and television projects such as Magnolia liliflora Desr, The Big Boss and many more.
Sylvia has produced New Zealand’s first original spoken word musical “La Musical”, the web series “Sunny Day. There is Rain”, mtv “Jasmine Singing in New Zealand”, large scale public welfare art activity “Smile, China! and other projects.
In 2008, he joined the “New Zealand China Friendship Association” and served as the secretary general and vice president. Sylvia also works as a volunteer interpreter at Auckland Museum.
Jake is a teacher and has taught in New Zealand and China for many years. He speaks Chinese fluently and has a good understanding of Chinese culture. The guests were mainly seniors from politics and foreigners from various fields. They included Jake’s grandfather, former Mayor of Rodney, John Law, and local supporters such as Upper Harbour District Councillor Nicholas Mayne and Hibiscus and Bays District Councillor Janet Fitzgerald.
Also in attendance were the Chinese elite, President Liu Yuxi of the New Zealand Starlight Cultural Association, Chairman Ren Zhongjie of Jimmy Construction and President Susan of the New Zealand Newspaper, who came to cheer on Sylvia and Jake, who will be running for election!as well as a New Zealand’s well known cultural branding market, creative marketing association, the creative strategy designer and cross cultural of Chu Dian. It is the very first content sharing platform in New Zealand, Da Zhi Xin App, co founder Joyce Liu.
During the meeting, Jake’s grandfather, former Mayor of Rodney, John Law, and representatives from local communities spoke. They talked about the importance and necessity of political participation. They presented their experiences and their hopes for the community. More than anything else, they cheered on the two young people running for office and called on more young people to participate in politics.
The whole scene was warm and enthusiastic, and the long-lost happy smiling faces were again present. This is a party that makes people’s blood boil and inspires them.
As a matter of fact, the Chinese generally do not ask about politics, and it has always been a shackle on the way of Chinese to enter politics. There are even Chinese who have given up even the right to vote in their hands, which has also contributed to the long-standing stereotype of Chinese in the local community.
I am glad that our Chinese compatriots have another member to participate in politics, and there will be another member of parliament who will speak up for Chinese.
That evening, New Zealand newspaper reporters Cao Zhengjia and Shen Ruilin interviewed Sylvia and Jake.
Sylvia said, “I hope we can deepen the understanding between the community and gain more respect for the Chinese and Asian communities. In order to achieve this goal, she is willing to be a bridge between the communities. I also hope that more people will step up and do what they can.
Jake, on the other hand, “hopes to strengthen the cooperation with other legislators and strengthen the relationship between legislators. He will follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and become a good politician, using his experience as a teacher to serve the community.
We sincerely hope that more Chinese will participate in politics, and we sincerely hope that they will be successful in the election! We look forward to their outstanding performance!
