尽管2020年受到该流行病的影响，但每个人都可能笼罩在一片灰暗的气氛中。 但是我们仍然感到自豪，因为我们对爱情的奉献得到了祝福，因此我们可以更加快乐地迎接圣诞节的到来。
Although 2020 is affected by the epidemic, everyone was probably shrouded in a grey mood. But we are still proud, because our dedication of love has been blessed, so that we can greet the arrival of Christmas with more joy.
2020年12月20日一年一度的独居长者圣诞茶聚时间又到了，今年的地点设在了Devonport Stone Oven咖啡馆里。这次参加茶聚的长者共有20多名，他们的年龄是75岁至90多岁的长者，对于每年的圣诞茶聚，他们都非常重视。每次他们都带着期待与欣喜的心情参加，带着开心与满滿的爱回去。
On December 20, 2020, the annual Christmas tea gathering for elders living is here again. This year’s location is in the Devonport Stone Oven Cafe. There are more than 20 elders participating in the tea gathering this time. They are elders between 75 and 90 years old who choose to come to take part of this peaceful social and certainly delicious event. They attach great importance to the annual Christmas tea gathering. Every time they participate with anticipation and joy, and go back with joy and full of love.
每一个人都有老去的时候，无论家境如何，能力如何，当你老去的时候，内心总希望得到一份关爱。都希望取得别人的认同和支持，更希望得到重视他们的存在，尤其是独居老人。因此关爱独居老人，让他们感到温暖，让他们感到生活充满爱是这个圣诞茶聚的目的。
Everyone gets old, no matter what their family background or ability is, When you are old, it’s always nice to recieve love to your heart, recognition and support of others, especially the elderly living alone. Therefore, caring for elders, making them feel warm, love is the main purpose of this Christmas tea gathering.
圣诞节 《优雅长者茶聚》，是个人慈善公益行为，由Misty Leong发起。开展4年以来，得到志愿者的支持和爱心人士 (匿名者) 的赞助，以让这个爱心茶聚能坚持到现在。Misty表示，她希望用爱和感恩来回馈社会。
The Christmas “Elegant Elderly Tea Gatherings” for the Elderly Living Alone is a personal charity act initiated by Misty Leong. In the 4 years since it was launched, it has been supported by volunteers and sponsored by many (anonymous) caring people (anonymous), so that this lovely tea gathering can persist until now. Misty said that she hopes to give back to society with love and gratitude.
自去年开始得到《新西兰报》的大力支持。特别是今年，由于疫情的影响，为了解决经费问题，报社得到了新西兰温州同乡会创会会长陈安生和会长吴恬恬的赞助支持。
Since last year, it has gained support from the New Zealand News. Especially this year, due to the impact of the epidemic, in order to solve the funding problem, the newspaper received sponsorship and support from Chen Ansheng, the founding president of the Wenzhou Association of New Zealand, and Wu Tiantian, the president.
同时陈安生捐出了私家盘栽，由报社成员收集环保塑料瓶，裁剪成小花盘培植肉肉盘栽，以$1.20/盘和$2.50/盘的售价进行慈善义卖，藉此筹集帮助费用。
At the same time, Chen Ansheng donated private plantings. Newspaper members collected environmentally-friendly plastic bottles and cut them into small flower trays to cultivate meat trays. They were sold for charity at the price of $1.20/plat and $2.50/plat to raise help expenses.
在为花盆收集材料的过程中，环保协会刁四雍会长及成员和爱心人士Wendy Qiao全力协助，很快就收集了200多个用来制作花盆的资源。
In the process of collecting materials for the pot, President Diao Yuyong of the Environmental Protection Association, members and beloved Wendy Qiao fully assisted, and soon collected more than 200 resources used to make flower pots.
可以说，这些小小的肉肉盘栽，灌注了新西兰报同仁们的心血和大爱。其中包括4岁半的Erik和6岁的Jayden小朋友。It can be said that these Echeveria Moon fairy plants are filled with the hard work and love of New Zealand newspaper colleagues. Among them are four and a half-year-old Erik and 6-year-old Jayden.
他们用小小的手，把一颗一颗的肉肉植物放在花盘里，减轻大人的工作量，以尽自已的一点微博之力。With their small hands, they put the fleshy plants one by one in the flower tray, reducing the workload effectively for the adults.
由于报社同仁的精心培育，以让盘栽变得格外的美丽迷人。
Thanks to the careful nurturing colleagues in the newspaper office, the planting has become particularly endearing and charming.
正因为爱的感召，也得到了紫彤科技美容中心老板Cindy和新西兰报副社长Cecilia以及信诚国际留学移民公司总裁莫雪芬、辽宁同乡会歌舞艺术团的成员等爱心人士的义购支持，让此次爱心茶聚顺利推进，预期进行。

整个爱心茶聚充满了幸福和欢乐的气氛。为了丰富茶聚的内容，主办人特意让长者们每人画一幅画，然后评选出4画优秀的作品予以奖励。获奖的老人们手捧奖品都开心的露出了灿烂的笑容。
The whole love tea gathering was full of contentment and jubilation. In order to enrich the content of the tea gathering, the organizer specially asked the elderly to draw a picture each, and then selected 4 excellent works for reward. The old people who won the prizes held the prizes and smiled happily.
