Interviewed by
Harmony Liu,
The World Harmony Ambassador
&
Ask Congress TV youth reporter
Andrew
Yang,
a candidate for New York’s mayor and the first Chinese
presidential candidate, participated in a fundraiser for his
campaign at the Brooklyn Haiyatt Hotel on June 5th, 2021;
the United Nations Int’l Environmental Day.
where he was interviewed by Harmony Liu,
the 15 year old World Harmony Youth Ambassador
& ACTV reporter.
Harmony Liu briefly interviewed Mr. Yang with a simple question:
"If you are elected as mayor, what would you do for our education?”
Yang’s response was that
"first of all, we need to get the kids back in school."
Then, she interviewed Chairman Lin Jianzhong,
who organized this event and provided hotel sponsorship.
Harmony asked him why he supported Andrew Yang’s campaign,
to which he responded in Mandarin Chinese:
In his speech, he mentioned why he joined the election.
There has never been an Asian American mayor in New York. He
wants to inspire more Asian Americans to run for official
positions and participate in politics.
Chairman Lin Jianzhong
is one of the most successful real estate investors in New
York and active in assisting Chinese Americans in
participating
in American politics.
In the early stages, when Andrew Yang became the first
Chinese American presidential candidate for the Democratic
Party, he received the support of Chairman Lin.
Lin constantly emphasized:
The first Asian American to run in American history has
courage. By running for the president of the United States
in the 2020 election, regardless of success or failure, Yang
has become representation for Asians living all over
America.
They have taken the first step in history.
Similarly, President Obama was an inspiration and
representation for African Americans. He was successfully
elected as president, though he did not do any government
works prior.
Harmony Liu concluded:
From entrepreneurs to parents and students, we all support your courage
and thank you for being an inspirational figure for all
Asian Americans, as well as encouraging more Asians to
become a part of higher positions and actively participate
in American politics.
