圣地亚哥华人律师协会受邀出席圣地亚哥中文学校百年庆典暨“金百盛会”

On the evening of May 9, 2026, representatives from the San Diego Chinese Attorneys Association (SDCAA) were honored to attend “The Golden 100 Gala” at the Diamond Palace Restaurant. SDCAA President Zhiming Wang, along with Board Members Yan Gao, Aaron Li, Sunyong ang, Olivia Ren, Chenyang Yan, and Qin Li, joined an impressive gathering of diverse attendees to celebrate the centennial of the Chinese School of San Diego.

2026年5月9日晚，圣地亚哥华人律师协会（SDCAA）受邀出席在 Diamond Palace Restaurant 隆重举行的圣地亚哥中文学校（Chinese School of San Diego）成立100周年庆典——“金百盛会”。SDCAA会长王志明律师，以及理事高艳律师、Aaron Li律师、唐孙勇律师、Olivia Ren律师、阎晨阳律师和李钦律师作为协会代表，与现场中外嘉宾齐聚一堂，共襄盛举。

Founded in 1925, the school is a landmark institution and the city’s oldest Chinese educational establishment, playing a profound role in bilingual education and cultural preservation over the past century. As a vital cultural cornerstone for the Chinese community in Southern California, the school has ensured that heritage and language are passed down through generations.

圣地亚哥中文学校成立于1925年，是当地历史最悠久的中文教育机构。在一个世纪的岁月里，该校始终致力于粤语与普通话的双语教学，为南加州华人社区提供了坚实的教育资源，更是中华文化在海外薪火相传的重要基石。

The gala also prominently highlighted the lifelong dedication of the school’s President, renowned philanthropist Sally Wong-Avery. Widely regarded as a vital connector within the community, Ms. Wong-Avery has devoted her life to education, literature, and immigrant advocacy. Her grassroots efforts began years ago when she transformed her family restaurant into an informal social service hub, providing essential translation and administrative assistance to new immigrants. She subsequently built a comprehensive support system for the local Chinese American population by co-founding the Chinese Historical Museum and serving as the first female President of the CCBA. A proud alumna of UC San Diego, she has also been a steadfast guardian of academic history, establishing the Natasha Wong Endowment Fund, preserving rare community publications such as Chinese News and We Chinese, and facilitating a major digital archives collaboration between UC San Diego and Cambridge University.

本次庆典特别致敬了校董会负责人、知名慈善家 Sally Wong-Avery 女士。作为圣地亚哥华人社区公认的“连接者”和“向善的力量”，Sally 女士的一生与书籍、教育和新移民服务紧密相连。早年间，她曾将家中的餐厅转化为新移民的非正式“社会服务中心”，义务帮助同胞阅读官方信件并提供翻译服务。随着社区需求的增长，她不仅接手并推动了圣地亚哥中文学校的发展，还共同创立了华人历史博物馆，并担任中华会馆首任主席及华人社会服务中心执行主任，系统性地构建了华人社区的支持网络。此外，作为加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UC San Diego）的校友，她促成了该校与剑桥大学在东亚馆藏上的数字化合作，设立了 Natasha Wong 捐赠基金，并富有远见地将《华人周末》和《微文》等稀有出版物引入学术馆藏，使其成为永久保存的社区历史记忆。

Witnessing this historic milestone, the SDCAA remains deeply inspired by Ms. Wong-Avery’s unwavering commitment to public service. President Zhiming Wang remarked that Ms. Wong-Avery is not only a model for philanthropy but also an inspiration for the legal community. The Association looks forward to continuing its support for educational and cultural initiatives within Southern California, working tirelessly to foster community engagement and protect the rights of the Asian American community.

圣地亚哥华人律师协会成员在现场共同见证了这一历史时刻。王志明会长表示，Sally Wong-Avery 女士不仅是慈善界的楷模，其无私奉献的精神与扎根社区的行动力同样值得法律界同仁学习。未来，SDCAA 将继续积极参与并支持南加州华人社区的各项事业，为亚裔社群发声，助力中华文化的繁荣与传承。
