Chairman of the American Federation of Overseas Chinese
The number of Chinese immigrants in the United States
has been increasing for hundreds of years,
dating back to only 4,000 in 1850, and now there are more than
5 million Chinese immigrants in the United States.
In order to record the stories of Chinese immigrants,
Lin Jianxin, chairman of the Overseas Chinese Federation
in the United States,
led the construction of the Overseas Chinese Museum
by the Federation of Overseas Chinese in the United States.
This is a museum located
in the Northeast District of Philadelphia, USA.
By displaying the immigration history of the United States
over the past century
and the major historical events that have occurred since
the founding of the United States
it allows more overseas Chinese to further understand
the similarities
and differences between Chinese and American cultures,
and promotes cultural exchanges and mutual learning between
China
and the United States.
Lin Jianxin said: "Chinese people have always attached importance
to historical records,
and the steady inheritance of Chinese culture for 5,000 years
also stems from this.
The number of Chinese immigrants in the United States
has reached a large scale,
and the immigration time has reached a span.
There are enough materials and deeds waiting for
interested people to discover.
As a Chinese,
it is very meaningful to record this period of history
and use it as a fragment to join
the Chinese history that is being written."

Jason Lam, said that he is well aware of the difficulties
in the operation of the museum,
and will adopt various management methods to revitalize the museum.
For example, there are many Chinese American associations,
many of which have a history of more than 100 years.
Each association can collect information and hold
an exhibition on the history
of the association in the museum.
Also, the museum has ample public space,
which can be used as a venue for receptions and meetings of
various associations and Chinese schools.
Jason Lam, is also eager to welcome more people
with lofty ideals to cooperate
and discuss how to pass on Chinese history in the United States.
As a Chinese entrepreneur who has immigrated
to the United States over 20 years ago,.
Jason Lam, mentioned:
"I spent five years laying the foundation in the United States,
establishing personal connections, resource sharing
and project docking across the United States,
and establishing a platform for cooperation among Chinese
across the United States.
In 2023,
I hope to create one or two national or even global chain brands
in the United States to bring glory to the Chinese.”

At the beginning of the epidemic,
"Gao Weiwei: American Epidemic Diary" was launched,
sticking to the front line of the epidemic to convey the
most authentic American epidemic situation to the audience.
The content of the program was adopted by CCTV news many
times, which is the best point for China to look at the
United States.
