The Chinatown Action Plan has been one of the great success stories of community collaboration in London. Adopted by Westminster City Council in 2003, the underlying vision is to make Chinatown a cleaner, safer and more attractive place for those who live, work and visit the area. Like all of the council’s area-based action plans, we could not have implemented it without the partnership work and support of our principal stakeholders; The London Chinatown Chinese Association, the Chinese Community Centre, Shaftesbury Plc (Chinatown’s principal landlord) and the Metropolitan Police. Since it’s adoption, the Action Plan has brought about considerable improvements to the area, such as; CivicWatch, a joint initiative between the council and the Chinatown Unit (Charing Cross Police Station), and the introduction of City Guardians which has greatly assisted a multi agency approach to community safety and management of the streets. The cultural diversity of the area has been enriched by the development of Chinatown Arts Space, an organisation that promotes contemporary East Asian visual and performaning arts and recently commissioned Chinatown’s latest piece of public art. This first commission, a mural entitled 1888, now forms the centrepeice of Horse and Dolphin Yard. Additionally, street improvements on Gerrard Street, Macclesfield Street, Lisle Street, Little Newport Street and Horse and Dolphin Yard are now complete. The improvements to Wardour Street and Rupert Court will commence after this year’s Chinese New Year celebrations. The final two phases, to be

implemented in 2009/10 will be Dansey Place, in partnership with Shaftesbury Plc, and Newport Place and it’s environs, in partnership with the London Chinatown Chinese Association and Rosewheel Plc. The council, in partnership with the Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment and the local community, launched ‘A Design Strategy for Chinatown’ in September 2008 that has generally received strong support from the local community. The Strategy promotes the introduction of appropriate East Asian design to complement the existing Victorian and Georgian facades, adding to the overall visitor experience. Currently, the council and its partners are now developing many of the proposals outlined in the strategy, including a suitable and sustainable funding model for their implementation and long term upkeep. Keeping with design, the Cabinet Member for the Built Environment approved the adoption of the Chinatown Supplementary Planning Guidance for the area, which looks to address a number of issues to help enhance the overall appearance of the streets, whilst preserving the area’s Conservation status. These are exciting times for Chinatown, and the initiatives outlined above should encourage further vitality in these difficult economic times, helping to ensure that it remains one of the West End’s unique cultural destinations. For further information on the councils programme of delivery for the area, and the Leader’s 15 Economic Recovery targets for the City, please log on to our website. www.westminster.gov.uk/chinatown www.westminster.gov.uk/cityrecovery

倫敦華埠商會2008年回顧 2008年，對中國人而言，註定是不平凡的一年。這一年的不平凡，不僅僅在於，在中國改革開放30周年之際，中國人終於實現了期盼百年的奧運夢想；還在於，經歷了南方雨雪冰凍、四川大地震這一場場罕見的自然災害，中國人始終堅守著自己對奧林匹克的承諾，用微笑擁抱世界。作為中華文化在英國的展示舞臺，唐人街在2008年大放異彩。這一年來，倫敦華埠商會在領導班子和會員的共同努力下，推進多項工作發展，促進華埠與主流社會溝通，推動中英兩國民間交流，成為英國社會多元文化中亮麗的一筆！

倫敦華埠商會 2009 己丑牛年

奧運篇 2008年8月，13億中國人百年奧運夢終于成真。當奧運聖火在北京被點燃後，熱情洋溢的中國人民盡情享受奧運帶來的歡樂。他們爲每一個參與者的到來鼓掌，爲每一個新紀錄的誕生歡呼，爲每一個賽場上的勇士加油，爲每一個充滿愛的瞬間感動。而在英國，倫敦華埠商會組織的迎奧運活動也讓這裏的華人華僑感受到祖國的脉搏，與它同歡呼共感動。火炬傳遞

唐人街掀高潮

4月6日，是奧運火炬在倫敦傳遞的日子。儘管已進入４月，倫敦當天却喜逢瑞雪，整個城市已經銀裝素裹，令火炬橘紅色的火苗在漫天飛雪中更顯溫暖。奧運火炬在倫敦的傳遞不僅擁有中國境外21個城市中最長的傳遞路綫，而且受到了英國首相布朗和安妮公主出面歡迎的高規格待遇。爲迎接火炬在唐人街傳遞，倫敦華埠商會特地定制了一千多個紅色的大燈籠，還做了五六面印有“風調雨順” 四個大字的龍旗。只在中國傳統節日才會表演的舞龍舞獅隊和奧運福娃走上爵祿街與民衆共慶這一盛事。在火炬到達唐人街之前，陣陣響亮的鑼鼓聲和歡騰的舞龍舞獅使得整個唐人街沸騰起來。中午12點30分，“祥雲”火炬在上萬名觀衆的期望中來到唐人街，中國駐英大使傅瑩從前面一位火炬手點燃了自己手中的火炬，跑向唐人街，幷向現場觀衆揮手致意。夾道歡迎的人群中迸發出雷鳴般的掌聲和歡呼聲。倫敦華埠商會會長鄧柱廷說： “這是中國第一次舉辦奧運會，華人華僑等很久了，每一個炎黃子孫都很高興。”鄧柱廷表示，“華埠商會迎接奧運聖火，籌備好幾個月了。今天奧運火炬來到倫敦，來到唐人街，這對于我們

海外華人來說就像過節一樣。我們就是要熱熱鬧鬧地把火炬迎回唐人街，迎回我們華人在倫敦的家。” 離唐人街不遠的特拉法加廣場也是火炬傳遞重要的一個節點，許多華人華僑留學生及英國民衆都在這聚集等待迎接聖火，傳遞北京奧運會的夢想。整個廣場幾乎水泄不通，很多人手中都拿著小旗幟，上面標有“北京2008”和 “點燃激情、傳遞夢想”字樣。“祥雲”來到特拉法加廣場之際，在場的華人華僑和中國留學生揮舞起他們手中鮮艶的五星紅旗，與“祥雲”燃燒著的紅色火焰一起把廣場變成了紅色的海洋。而在唐寧街10號首相府門前，倫敦華埠商會組織的舞獅隊在布朗首相及火炬手等待聖火抵達時，在歡樂喜慶的鑼鼓聲中進行了精彩的舞獅表演。倫敦各界華人華僑慶奧運 “祝福奧運”、“中國加油”， 8月8日的唐人街上，祝福之聲不絕于耳。數百名英國華人華僑留學生及當地市民將這裏彙聚成歡樂的海洋，一起迎接北京奧運會開幕式。當天中午，倫敦華埠商會組織、中國銀行贊助的舞龍舞獅和福娃出現在唐人街主街上。等待多時的華人華僑揮舞著國旗，爭相和福娃握手合影。爵祿街上也立起大屏幕，現場直播奧運開幕式，許多民衆携家帶口在陣陣鑼鼓聲中等待奧運會的開幕儀式。倫敦華埠商會首席副會長鄧漢聲表示，北京奧運會是千載難逢的盛事，華埠商會很高興能和倫敦市民在唐人街一起慶祝。中國駐英大使館林旭參贊說： “中國百年奧運夢想成真，海內外華人華僑爲此自豪。對倫敦的華人華僑來說，意義尤其特殊，他們在慶祝北京奧運的同時，也期盼著4年後奧運聖火在奧運點燃。”

節慶篇春節慶典精彩“鼠”不停 2月10日，鼠年大年初四，近35萬民衆涌到特拉法加廣場、萊斯特廣場和唐人街，參加倫敦華埠商會主辦的迎新活動。倫敦華埠商會每年選擇春節之後的周日作爲中國新年慶祝活動的日子，這是“亞洲之外規模最大的中國新年慶祝活動”，因此成爲市民眼中的又一個“狂歡節”，體現出華埠商會非凡的號召力和組織能力。以奧運爲主題的新年巡游隊伍在當天上午11時，由一名頭戴飾有銀色老鼠的禮帽的司儀手搖銀鈴拉開序幕。他一面向路邊的人群高喊“鼠年好”，一面引導舞蹈、武術和舞龍舞獅隊伍開始盛裝巡游。新年巡游隊伍裏，5個憨態可掬的福娃和舞龍舞獅、財神爺以及來自中國的人大附中藝術團、小星星藝術團的盛裝巡游讓人目不暇接，市民們將街道兩邊站得水泄不通，一邊鼓掌叫好，競相和福娃握手合影。中午12時，迎鼠年慶祝活動在特拉法加廣場舉行慶典。倫敦市長利文斯通、中國駐英大使傅瑩、倫敦華埠商會會長鄧柱廷等各界人士，出席慶典儀式，祝福2008這一具有特別意義的一年。廣場上的過萬民衆在主席臺上兩名主持人的引領下齊聲用漢語高呼“恭喜發財”、“新年快樂”…… 倫敦市長肯.利文斯通登臺致辭說，很高興能够參加中國 20

倫敦華埠商會 2009 己丑牛年

鼠年新春的慶祝活動，這個中國新年的慶祝活動是倫敦參加人數最多的年度慶祝活動。08 年適逢北京舉辦奧運會，這對將舉辦2012年奧運會的倫敦來說具有特殊意義。利文斯通還用普通話和廣東話向市民祝賀 “恭喜發財”。臺上，來自北京的人大附中藝術團、小星星藝術團、中國婦聯青年藝術團和當地華人團體的精彩表演博得了觀衆的陣陣掌聲，英國小孩還爭相與小星星藝術團的孩子們拍照留念；台下，樂滋滋的孩子們或手舉撥浪鼓，或比著勁地往地上摔“甩炮”；喜歡美食的人們則擠在中國美食攤檔前爭相購買龍須糖、年糕和麻糖；在市中心的唐人街，年輕人紛紛用相機、手機、攝像機拍攝游行隊伍裏的舞龍舞獅表演…… 在特拉法加廣場的表演活動一直持續了６個小時。從下午２時開始，唐人街和萊斯特廣場每到整點就燃放烟花爆竹，更是增加了倫敦市中心的中國年味道。龍舟節熱心籌善款 6月8日，由倫敦華埠商會、倫敦華埠獅子會、蘆峰社主辦、香港駐倫敦經濟貿易辦事處贊助的倫敦龍舟節于倫敦東部的泰晤士河上舉行，爲四川地震進行賑灾募捐。喧天的鑼鼓聲中，一個火紅的獅子從大約5米高的立柱上吐出一個“祝願四川抗震救灾成功，灾民早日重建家園”的巨幅標語，把2008倫敦龍舟節推向高潮。此次龍舟節共有包括匯豐銀行、時代中國、青島啤酒、

國泰航空、普華永道、香港駐倫敦經濟貿易辦事處和中國駐英國大使館等商號和機構派出的40多支隊伍參賽。泰晤士河邊，觀衆一面爲比拼的隊伍加油助威，一面欣賞著河畔跑道上不時起降的飛機。商家、機構在各自的攤檔前兜售粽子、快餐和法律、社區和旅游服務項目，一些老人、孩子則在樹陰草地上享受初夏戶外野餐的樂趣。龍舟節籌得善款將聯同倫敦華埠商會會員捐款用于華社慈善機構以及中國安徽一所希望小學的建造。中秋人月兩團圓 9月14日，倫敦華埠商會于唐人街舉辦中秋慶祝活動，邀請中國駐英大使館林旭參贊、西敏市議員 Audrey Lewis參加，向他們展示華人社區活動成果，得到積極肯定。慶祝活動于當天中午開始。精彩的舞龍舞獅表演、美猴王、少林武術、太極、民樂演奏等，吸引了逾萬名民衆駐足，甚至有游客專程從牛津、劍橋等地趕赴唐人街參加慶祝活動。倫敦華埠商會會長吳國强和主席鄧柱廷分別爲活動致辭。林旭參贊表示，“中秋正值北京奧運結束、殘奧會即將閉幕之時，華人的社會地位和社會現象都得到很大提升，在這個時候舉辦活動是一個很好的機遇，也是件很有意義的事。” 林旭參贊、Audrey Lewis市議員及倫敦都市警察唐人街當地兩名警官隨後還應華埠商會邀請，前往華人社區中心參觀，幷爲該中心志願者創作的大型壁畫揭幕，反映了中國文化元素在英國多元文化中的融合。

橋梁篇 2007年底，英國移民局高調突擊唐人街逮捕黑工，令華埠商家與移民局、警方關係降至冰點；2008 年夏天，許多中餐館遭遇“燒鴨爐”困境……這一場場危機中，倫敦華埠商會代表華埠商家利益，與政府積極斡旋，搭建政府和華埠商家對話橋梁。

警員經華埠商會安排，與數名被搜餐館東主進行會面。艾倫對移民局協同媒體高調搜查華埠事件表示憤慨，認爲其嚴重破壞了西敏市警方和華埠居民數十年建立的良好的互助合作關係。他表示，西敏市警方將儘快修補受損警民關係，幷强調西敏市警方已從該事件吸取教訓，今後行動將更小心謹慎，警員將在每日執勤中搜集華埠居民意見，幷反饋給內政部，以避免同類事件再次發生。 2008年12月初，英國邊防署倫

修補警民關係 2007年10月，唐人街的平靜被打破，大批英國移民局官員與荷槍實彈的警察突擊倫敦華埠，逮捕49 名懷疑非法勞工。由于此次聯合行動十分高調，選在繁忙的午餐時間突擊唐人街，引得華埠商家人心惶惶，生意大受影響。移民局更聯合 BBC等傳媒報道整個搜捕過程，刻意抹黑華埠形象，令華埠商家與移民局、警方的關係降至冰點。事件發生後，倫敦華埠商會積極聯絡各方，修復受損警民關係。 2008年3月25日，西敏市警察指揮官艾倫（Steve Allen）與4名 LCCA 2009 Chinese New Year Magazine | 21

敦及東南區總監Tony Smith在華埠商會會長吳國强、副主席鄧漢聲、副會長曾百明陪同下，前往唐人街一家中餐館，實地考察中餐厨房運作、厨師分工等情况，幷聽取中餐館東主意見。自內政部出臺新法例，要求中餐厨師考核英文水平，令中餐館面臨人手緊缺困境。Tony Smith表示，將把情况及時反映內政部，尋求解决方案。中國料理名廚賽推廣中華飲食文化 5月20日，第五届“西敏市中國料理名厨大賽”于倫敦 Kingsway學院圓滿舉辦。此次大賽由倫敦西敏市政府主辦，倫敦華埠商會協辦，旨在促進西敏市內中餐業發展。此次大賽共有多家中餐館派出厨師競技厨藝。比賽當天，參賽者須在指定時間內，按主辦方安排次序烹調糖醋大蝦、龍蝦、鴨肉等菜式。經過角逐，皇朝會名厨余展宏和鐘守發分獲“料理名廚”和“點心名厨”冠軍，並由西敏市市長 Louise Hyams及中國駐英大使館陸旭總領事爲其頒發獎項。除菜式色香味、創意及烹煮手法外，食物衛生評估也是評判標準之一。據西敏市政府主管食物及健康安全官員表示，賽前主辦方曾到所有報名參賽的餐館進行衛生檢查，以確保參賽者資格。西敏市政府希望借此鼓勵區內中餐館不斷提升衛生及食物安全標準，讓顧客吃得高興放心。陸旭總領事表示，西敏市舉辦中國料理名厨大賽對區內中餐業發展起積極推動作用，她希望今後可以有更多類似活動將英國中餐業推向更高層次。

化解“燒鴨爐”危機 2008年7月，倫敦部分中餐館遭遇“燒鴨爐”困境，由于不具備符合歐盟安全標準的CE標識，在西敏市政府未作出適當指導下，被勒令停用。經傳統烤爐烤制的燒鴨面臨絕迹英倫的危機。在西敏市政府和倫敦華埠商會共同推動下，英國國家立法機關經過積極商討，于11月初與華埠商家舉行座談，同意爲負責檢驗的Corgi工程師制定專門的指導條例，授權他們根據該條例規定，對無CE標識的烤鴨爐實施檢測和修理工作，成功化解“燒鴨爐”危機。倫敦華埠商會會長吳國强對此解决方案表示滿意。他說：“此次烤鴨爐事件，無論對西敏市議會還是華人社區來說，是雙方交流中一次很好的實踐。”他指出，很多時候法律幷不一定適用于所有對象和所有情况，因爲將來若有其他爭議出現，希望雙方以和平交流和互動溝通爲先。警民魚水情 10月1日，華埠中國城大酒樓舉行酒會慶祝查寧閣警局華人組成立25周年，共叙和睦警民關係。當

天，倫敦警隊專門負責嚴重及暴力罪案的指揮官艾雅倫、西敏市市長 Louise Hyams、中國駐英大使館總領事陸旭、華埠商會執委成員等百余名嘉賓到場。查寧閣警局華人組成立以來，與倫敦華埠商會密切合作，爲營造安全華埠社區共同努力。華人組25 年來服務唐人街，風雨無阻，他們在維持社區治安的同時，積極構築和睦警民關係。查寧閣警局華人組多年來爲華埠社區維持治安，成就有目共睹。艾雅倫指揮官感謝華埠商會多年來在華人組工作上的積極協助和合作，希望這種和諧關係能繼續維持。華埠商會會長吳國强、首席副會長張炳容還先後頒發紀念牌予倫敦警隊及華人組，分別由艾雅倫指揮官及華人組隊目狄克蘭接受。許多曾在華人組就職的警官也在當天酒會出現，與華埠商會新老成員老友相逢，共叙警民魚水情。

會務篇倫敦華埠商會執委會換屆選舉 2008年9月1日，倫敦華埠商會于唐人街華人社區中心舉行第16 届執委會選舉，選出新一任16位執委，幷推舉吳國强任會長，張炳容當選首席副會長，曾百明、林奕權、郭秀珊、文咏怡擔任副會長。 53名華埠商會會員參加當天投票。中國駐英大使館林旭參贊到場監督選舉和唱票過程。會議首先推選吳國强爲華埠商會新任會長。由于華埠商會會務增多，目前設置無法滿足工作需要，鄧漢聲于早前的華埠商會內部會議上提出增設主席、副主席職位，輔助商會工作。當天會上，到場會員以高票通過這一决議，幷推舉卸任會長鄧柱廷爲主席，鄧漢聲爲副主席。商會會員隨後以不記名方式投票方式從22名執委候選人中選出16

位。鄧漢聲、曾百明、張炳容、林奕權、吳國强、文咏怡、劉仕貴、郭秀珊、鄧聲揚、李漢基、文波倫、李玉媚、葉君南、陳惠明、鄭德欽、張勁龍高票當選爲新一屆執委。新任會長吳國强在致辭中說： “華埠商會是大家的，每一個商戶都是一分子，唐人街的生意都是息息相關的。當前經濟不景氣，商會將組織更多活動，吸引客源，維持唐人街在倫敦的標志性地位。” 吳國强表示，此次執委會出現許多年輕的新面孔，希望這些年輕執委團結一致，群策群力做好華埠商會工作。連任3届會長的鄧柱廷此次卸任，他期望新一届領導班子能將倫敦經營得更好。他也會一如既往支持商會工作。林旭參贊在會後表示，倫敦華埠商會是英國華人形象代表，在與當地政府、中國溝通聯繫方面發揮重要作用。林旭對華埠商會過去的工作予以充分肯定，他希望新一届執委能發揚傳統，做得更好。

廣東省公安廳考察團訪英 10月初，倫敦華埠商會與英國外交部、英國警方聯合接待由中國廣東省公安廳廳長梁偉發率領的考察團。該團應英國打擊有組織犯罪活動局邀請，來倫敦進行爲期3日的訪問，旨在加强同英國警方交流，打擊跨境犯罪活動。

交流篇倫敦華埠商會成立至今，致力于促進中英兩國在經貿文化等各方面的交流。2008年，華埠商會迎來國僑辦主任李海峰到唐人街探訪當地華人民生。除此以外，華埠商會還接待了許多來自中國不同地區和領域的考察團，增加了中英雙方的交流和友誼。國僑辦主任李海峰探訪唐人街 9月12日，倫敦華埠商會主席鄧柱廷、會長吳國强等陪同前來英國訪問的國僑辦主任李海峰來到唐人街參觀視察，幷于當晚舉行盛大晚宴迎接李海峰一行。席間，華僑代表李志章向李海峰主任彙報了英國華人華僑爲北

京奧運的舉辦、捍衛奧運火炬在倫敦的傳遞、捐助特大雪灾和四川大地震等所作的努力，得到她的高度贊揚。她表示，中國取得的輝煌成就，凝聚著包括英國僑胞在內的海內外中華兒女的共同奉獻，希望廣大海外僑胞在一個中國旗幟下，擱置爭議、求同存异，以包容、平和、務實的心態增進團結、密切往來、加强合作。隨後，吳國强、鄧柱廷等華人代表還向李海峰贈送紀念品，李海峰也回贈北京奧運吉祥物“福娃” 作爲留念。

梁偉發廳長表示，中國是一個發展中國家，而倫敦的保安工作在經歷過七七恐怖襲擊後，其中的經驗與教訓，值得學習和借鑒。倫敦華埠商會也借此機會向查寧閣警署贈送錦旗和紀念品，以紀念警署“警民合作小組”成立25周年。梁偉發廳長對華埠商會和當地警署的密切合作表示肯定，幷對其在中英警方交流中所起的橋梁作用予以高度贊賞。

規劃篇 “打造全世界最好的唐人街” 倫敦唐人街由上世紀60 年代遷入現址起，經多年發展，已成爲倫敦知名旅游地標和多元文化展示舞臺。爲將其打造爲全世界最好的唐人街，王子基金會（The Prince’ s Foundation）與倫敦華埠商會、西敏市政府、莎士比利公司（Shaftesbury PLC）公司等方密切合作，在5月舉辦了一系列工作坊，實地考察了華埠狀况，幷咨詢多方意見，幷在 9月16日公布了唐人街改建設計藍圖，根據設計藍圖，中國城的建築將呈現更多的中國傳統民族建築特色，例如木雕寶塔、中式園林建築、新牌樓、九龍壁。此外，唐人街的地鐵出口也是改建計劃的重點，呼籲爲華埠增開一個專門的地鐵站口。該改建計劃是西敏市政府 “城市更新改建計劃”的一部分，旨在提高西敏市的設計質 26

量，使其能與世界其他著名城市幷肩。 “我們的目標是把打造全世界最好的唐人街！”王子基金會負責人表示，倫敦唐人街進入21世紀，他們將充分發揮中英兩國風格不同但同樣優秀的傳統工藝，以確保改建後的唐人街擁有兩種文化傳統的最佳結合，以獨特的中英傳統有機結合的建築和設計風格，更加吸引人。” 倫敦華埠商會會長吳國强表示，唐人街早已成爲倫敦吸引游客的熱點之一，每年都有數百萬旅游者到訪，相信改建工程將給唐人街注入更多的活力和中國元素。副會長郭秀珊也呼籲，新一代的華人華僑參與到唐人街改造工程，爲增加現代藝術特色、規劃建設盡一份力。另外，籌劃數年的新牌坊經西敏市政府審核，已確定選址在華都街和儷人街路口，相信有望在2009年底前動工修建。

慈善篇四川地震和中國同悲

2008年5月12日，中國四川發生大地震後，灾情牽動著每一位旅英華人華僑的心。血脉相連的力量，令他們不約而同紛紛伸出援助之手，爲灾區提供人力物力資源。倫敦華埠商會在地震發生後迅速在唐人街組織活動，爲灾區募捐籌款。倫敦華埠商會與李貞駒律師

行及其他華人社團連續兩個周末，在唐人街石獅子搭起臨時舞臺，以 “伸出援手、義不容辭、你我心連心”爲口號舉辦義賣募捐活動。許多僑領輪流上臺呼籲現場民衆踴躍捐款，他們還手持籌款箱，向路過行人募捐。一些華人社團和個人在舞臺上賣力演出籌款，爲灾區人民盡一份心，出一份力。金門行、泗和行各捐出一噸大米義賣。 5月21日晚，唐人街凉亭舉行長達3小時半的悼念儀式，近千人次到場爲四川地震遇難同胞表達哀思。每隔一小時，大會都舉行一次默哀儀式，讓前來吊唁的民衆爲在地震中罹難的同胞寄上遙遠的祝福。現場巡迴播放的灾區畫面令在場民衆黯然泪下，這一刻，英國華人和祖國同悲。唐人街的活動共籌得14萬英鎊賑灾款，經由中國駐英大使館將所得款項交給四川地震灾區。

支持鄭智義賣活動 2008年11月底，倫敦華埠商會與著名中國球星鄭智所在的查爾頓球會共同組織義賣活動。該活動是鄭智出售他中國隊球衣，爲一名殘疾小球迷籌款購買輪椅的。活動得到當天包括華人在內的2萬多名球迷的熱烈掌聲。鄭智活動後表示，“我喜歡英國足球的球會，球會和球迷間有很多互動，例如慈善活動，這是其中一項，球迷給予我們很大的支持和鼓勵，而我現在這裏工作、生活，做慈善活動也是應該的。” 支持此次活動的泗和行主席謝貴全說：“到英國踢足球的中國球員幷不多，他們不但在球場上表現出色，還有一顆慈善心，我們也會盡力支持鄭智，繼續支持慈善。” 倫敦華埠商會會長吳國强希望華人社區能更多地參與主流社會活動，進行活動。他相信這次活動能加强華人在英國社會的良好影響力。查爾頓足球俱樂部行政總裁 Steve Waggot表示鄭智的義賣活動得到很多支持是球會的榮幸，他感謝倫敦華埠商會和泗和行的支持。

I’m Archie Chandler, London Fire Brigade’s Borough Commander for Westminster and I’m delighted that we are involved in this year’s Chinese New Year celebrations.

This fantastic event allows us to recognise the huge contribution made by the Chinese community in London. Westminster, and Soho in particular, is home to a thriving hospitality industry with many restaurants and businesses owned by the Chinese community. New Year is also a time when families come together, share food and light fireworks. One of our main aims is to work with Londoners to prevent fires from occurring in the first place and the Chinese New Year celebrations are the perfect opportunity to pass on information that we hope will make the coming year a safe one for you and your families.

In what is one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world, another important part of our work to make London a safer city is recruiting staff from across our diverse communities. This year a specially decorated fire engine will be at the heart of the celebrations in Trafalgar Square and our staff will be on hand to offer you information about becoming a firefighter, as well as advice about fire safety. On behalf of everyone at London Fire Brigade I would like to wish you all a happy, and most of all, a safe, new year – Kung Hei Fat Choi.

Design Strategy for Chinatown, London

How did we get involved? On 1 November 2007, TRH The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall visited Chinatown and, later that evening at the Royal Festival Hall, HRH The Prince of Wales announced that his Foundation for the Built Environment had kindly been invited by Westminster City Council to build on their partnership work with the local community and complement its programme of major street improvements to the area. His Royal Highness has in the past spoken of his desire to find ways to encourage the use of traditional Chinese craftsmanship and architectural practices — and a combination of UK and Chinese expertise — to help Chinatown become more authentically Chinese.

It’s been a great honour to work with the London Chinatown Chinese Association and Westminster City Council on designs for this emotive and important part of London — a district that has not only been home to Chinese families for generations, but attracts millions of visitors every year. You can tell a great city by the way that it accommodates large numbers of vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians with ease and courtesy — making it a pleasure for people to visit its shops and restaurants, to work in its office and to linger in its public spaces. We want to improve the experience of being in Chinatown for residents and visitors alike. By combining the very best urban design with craftsmanship that reflects Chinatown’s heritage and traditions we look forward to helping create a dynamic and thriving Chinatown … one that will meet the local community’s aspirations and become the very best Chinatown in the world. On the following pages you can see how we got involved in Chinatown through our President HRH The Prince of Wales, you can share in the vision for the future of Chinatown and get involved in making it happen. Hank Dittmar, Chief Executive, The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment

This strategy looks set to make Chinatown seem more authentic, and taking its inspiration from Chinese cities such as Beijing should result in London’s Chinatown being given even more of a Chinese feel. These designs will form part of the next exciting phase for Chinatown following the multi-million pound programme of improvements already carried out in the area. Cllr Robert Davis, DL, Deputy Leader, Westminster City Council

establishment of six officers consisting of one sergeant four constables and a Police Community Support Officer. The Chinatown Unit is the only unit of its type in the UK and as such has become a focal point for enquiries from other police forces throughout the country, overseas police services and other law enforcement agencies. The Chinatown Unit has, therefore, acquired an enviable reputation, not only within the Metropolitan Police Service, but also nationally and internationally. However, this has not been achieved at the expense of day-to-day neighbourhood policing, which remains its core business. The unit patrols Chinatown on a daily basis at various times as well as running proactive anti-crime operations against those whose criminal activity is abhorred by the law-abiding members of the Chinese community. However, its commitment to ensuring that crime receives the highest level of attention in no way prevents the Chinatown Unit from fulfilling an active role in maintaining strong community relations with the many Chinese and other South East Asian groups which make up Chinatown’s richly diverse

population. This includes arranging events such as the Chinese New Year and Mid-autumn festival celebrations, close liaison with the Chinese Community Centre providing a police surgery and assisting with fund raising, taking part in the annual Dragon Boat Festival, hosting VIPs visits from China, Hong Kong and Vietnam, presentations to Government officials from home and abroad, attending regular monthly meetings with the London Chinatown Chinese Association and Steering Group and the painting of two murals in Chinatown. Commander Allen thanked the Community for their co-operation over the years. He was keen to point out that although Safer Neighbourhood Teams are a recent innovation the Met has been committed to community policing for many years as evidenced by the Chinatown Unit. Their success is a direct result of the close working relationship with the community and it’s willingness to work together to make Chinatown a safer place.

Promoting Active Citizenship

UK, but many people from the community, some who have lived in the UK for 40 years or more suggested it is not apathy that deters them from voting but the lack of understanding and communication. Many reportedly felt that the politicians did not understand them and they in turn could not communicate their needs.

ondon Chinatown Chinese Association (LCCA) works closely with the BC project and the Election Commission to promote “Active Citizenship” among the Chinese community.

It is hoped that the tide will now change following the success of the campaign. C T Tang, Chairman of LCCA said, “I am encouraged by the growing number of Chinese faces putting themselves forward and holding office within local councils, those who have withheld their right to vote for decades are now putting their hands up and registering as a show of unity and support.”

In April 2008, London Chinatown Chinese Association launched the “Get Active, Get Voting 2008” campaign with the Confederation of Chinese Association UK (COCA UK), the BC Project and the Chinese Youth Radio with a dedicated website: www.GetActive. UK.com. A series of public events was organised on Gerrard Street to encourage the community to take part in the Mayoral election in May. Despite the poor weather, the turnout for the first “British Chinese (BC) Register to Vote” event in London’s Chinatown was a success. Prospective voters arrived early to complete their registration forms in time for the deadline. Further events were held by the campaign in Chinatown with the support of DJ’s from the local Chinese radio station, Spectrum 558AM and many prominent community leaders. Members of the public were reminded to register and cast their vote on May 1st 2008. Voter apathy and passing the political buck are traits sometimes attributed to the Chinese community in the 64

倫敦華埠商會 2009 己丑牛年

For others, registration had other meanings. One visitor of the event who having gained his British Citizenship just the previous year said that he felt that voting was a civic duty and being on the electoral register also meant convenience particularly when applying for finance and other things. Representatives from all three major parties, including Labour MP Barry Gardiner, and Chinese candidates for the May elections were in attendance to support the campaign. Solicitor Christine Lee, who launched the BC Project to promote integration of the Chinese community into politics explained: “Whatever the reason for voting, we hope that the British Chinese community will turn out in force for the elections. If we don’t use our vote, we have no voice.” See http://www.bcproject.org. uk/ or call 020 7287 6233 for more details about the project.

關懷社區 . 你我心連心敦華埠商會關注華人社區，在O八年之地方選舉特別聯合及多個華人組織，發起了「GetActive 關懷社區 . 你我心連心」大行動，分別在倫敦華埠舉行了多次「選民登記活動」，呼籲本地華人登記為選民。商會希望提高華人公民意識，做一個積極公民。

倫

這次活動由「倫敦華埠商會」、「英國華人社團聯合總會」、「英國華人參政計畫」、「李貞駒律師行」及「英國華人青年廣播計畫」舉辦，並得到多個華人傳媒支持。倫敦國際廣播電台558AM更派出主播 DJ愛麗詩及胡沛成到場主持廣播，即場呼籲。多名華人義工，免費為華人選民填寫表格及解答有關查詢。不少華人均即場登記，趕於截止前遞交表格。活動又舉行「全民試選」，讓本地華人可以提前預習投票之各項程序。英國政府一項調查顯示，英國華人及多個少數民族，登記選民的人數比率偏低，估計不足15%。有專家認為，除了部份華人對選舉事務缺乏興趣以外，不少華人都因為對英國政府架構缺乏理解，對登記選民手續欠缺認識而未有參與選舉投票。

當日活動發起人之一，李貞駒律師解釋: 「無論大家政見如何，希望英國華人在選舉之中，大規模地參加投票。放棄了選舉的權利，英國華人在社會中，便沒有了聲音。」

英國三個主要政黨代表均出席支持參與這次活動。其中包括工黨國會議員嘉德納(Barry Gardiner), 以及保守黨的楊慶權及自由民主黨的杜淑真。不再沉默 . 積極齊參政「英國華人參政計劃」於二OO六年啟動，目的是要鼓勵英國華人積極參政，讓政治成為華人社會生活的一部分，確保華人的聲音得到英國社會重視，不再是個一個「沉默的社區」。參政計劃得到英國上下議院跨黨派議員的關注及支持，目前正部署鼓勵英國華人參與下一屆選舉投票的計劃，歡迎各界人士加入志願工作。詳情請瀏覽 www.bcproject.org.uk或致電020 7287 6233 與黃詠梅小姐 (mwong@bcproject.org.uk)聯絡。參考: 「關懷社區 . 你我心連心」大行動網站: www.getactive.uk.com

登記選民 . 發揮影響力英國華人近年參政意識提高，多次地區選舉均有華人參選並勝出。倫敦華埠商會主席鄧柱廷認為華人的公民意識已日漸提高。他表示:「英國近年間，開始有更多華人投身地方政務工作及參加選舉，令人感到鼓勵。所以，我們更需要團結一致，登記為選民，在選舉中投票，以行動支持這些華人候選人。」

部份華人則表示登記了選民，亦提供了生活上其他的便利。一位出席者表示，自己在英國工作多年，卻一直不能申請物業按揭貸款，去年獲得英國公民身份，便馬上在選民名冊上登記。他又認為投票是一個公民的義務。

he story of tea and dimsum begins around a thousand years in the Song period (960–1279). By this time, Chinese cuisine could already boast a long and colourful history. The people of the Song took a connoisseur’s pleasure in tea tasting, and in good conversation accompanied by choice snacks, which were the precursors of today’s dimsum. Because the Song empire suffered frequent attacks from its northern neighbours, many people fled the central plains and migrated south. Some of these refugees settled in Guangdong, bringing with them a culture of tea-drinking and dimsum, which took root and flourished. Here, the two strands became increasingly intertwined and fused into one.

Today when Chinese people say they are going to the teahouse to ‘drink tea’– (yin cha or yum cha), this involves much more than just tea drinking; first and foremost, it means eating dimsum. And the invitation to ‘drink tea and eat dimsum’ evokes an entire philosophy of life celebrated by the Classical poets and literati. It can be a way of showing filial duty to one’s parents or respect to one’s elders, an enjoyable family occasion, or a way of strengthening bonds with friends and colleagues. It can be the key to successful business negotiations. It is an ideal opportunity for lovers to express their affection to one another (for an older generation it was a stage in the match-making process). It can be a children’s treat, or a reunion of old friends. It is a way of saying welcome or farewell to a traveller. It can smooth over offences, heal breaches, and convert enemies into friends. It is an inexhaustible source of lessons for living, full of countless subleties. In earlier times, when grain was in short supply, dimsum were often designed to fill the stomach. Some teahouses attracted custom by offering dimsum that were meals in themselves, like glutinous rice wraps stuffed with chicken, large sponge cakes, or filled rice rolls. Today however, with a conspicuous rise in obesity, consumers are increasingly concerned with healthy eating, and like their food to be fresh and light. 74

Tracing the hidden meanings of ‘tea and dimsum’

源溯流，中國廚藝發展至宋代(即距今一千年左右)，已千變萬化了，宋人喜愛品茗，小食聊天，點心也因此衍生，但其時外族入侵，戰亂頻繁，中原人仕紛紛南遷避難，到了廣東，更把茶道與點心，發揚光大，甚至將之變爲孿生兄弟般親密，難分難解的關係。

多重意義的飲茶吃點心

中國人上茶樓所謂「飲茶」事實上幷非只爲飲茶，最主要還是吃點心的。而「請飲茶吃點心」的文化，則蘊涵著中國人豐富而多彩多姿的待人處世哲學呢！對父母表達孝心，對長輩表示尊敬，對妻兒子女是享受天倫之樂，對同事親友可增進情誼，對生意往來的客人是洽談成功的祕訣，對情侶則是彼比獻殷勤，表愛意的最好良機，(上兩輩的男女更藉此「相睇」而締定終身呢！)對小孩子作鼓勵，對久別的朋友可聚舊，給遠方來的洗塵，給遠行的踐別，萬一有得罪人時，可借「飲茶」陪罪，對有過節的人大可"點心"泯恩仇，化敵為友等等。真有說不完的妙處，學不盡的人生哲理。從前，由于糧食較缺乏，所以好些點心的設計製造也以充饑爲目的，有些茶樓甚至以「大件夾抵食」來招徠，如糯米鶏，大包鬆糕、腸粉等等，然而，時移世易，今日超胖子隨處可見，人們便愈來愈注重健康衛生的飲食，愈來愈講究質鮮味清的食物。皇朝會的點心總厨鄒月華師傅，在這方面甚有研究，最能領導潮流，推陳出新，把點心的精粹推至另一境界。在別的館子吃點心，你可能一粒一啖便吞下去，感覺不外如是，但皇朝會的點心，你可會自然而然地細細咀嚼，品嘗個中美味真諦後才捨得咽下去，因爲每件精美的點心，都花盡心思和愛心做出來的，帶你領略出品嘗點心的層次來。

Tea Ceremony ‘W

ithout gentlemen, the country cannot survive even one day Without tea, a gentleman cannot survive even one day!’ Chinese people past and present, high and low have always been passionate about tea. This humorous couplet from the court of the 18th century Qianlong emperor brings this truth home to us. Tea has unique natural properties. The water, the tea leaves, the utensils and the ambience must all meet certain standards, so tea drinking is also an exercise in spiritual and moral cultivation. ‘A pot full of fragrant tea, a mouthful of sweetness.’ Every step in the process of tea preparation is carried out with fastidious care.

The ‘Three Goods’ and ‘Three Rights’ The ‘Three Goods’ means good tea leaves, good tea vessels and good water for brewing the tea. Good tea leaves are identified 76

倫敦華埠商會 2009 己丑牛年

by their colour, shape, quality, smell and taste. They are best when picked in late March or early April. Good tea leaves require a good tea set. Tea vessels should not be too large, and should preferably be made of porcelain. Metal pots are not normally used. Water quality is also crucial. In order to bring out the sweet, mellow flavour of the tea, the water must be exceptionally pure and unadulterated. Colourless, odourless mineral water is most suitable, like Qingshan spring water from Wuxi, which is virtually unrivalled for tea making. The ‘Three Rights’ means the right amount of tea leaves, the right temperature, and the right infusion time. Too lavish a quantity of tea leaves will inhibit the secretion of gastric juices and affect digestion. The brewing temperature depends on the quality of the tea leaves. If the temperature is too high, it will destroy the vitamins in the leaves, but if it is too low, it will prevent them from releasing their fragrance and flavour. Finally, it is important to gauge the infusion time correctly according to the variety of tea.

Six-plus-one varieties of tea The history of tea in China goes back to ancient times, and numerous varieties have been developed over the ages. The six main categories are green tea, Oolong tea, red tea (usually known in English as black tea), white tea, yellow tea and black-coloured tea. The additional category of ‘processed teas’ includes scented teas such as jasmine tea, fruitflavoured teas and health teas.

A brief guide to tea making Green tea, e.g. West Lake Dragon Well (longjing) tea – unfermented green tea 1. Placing the tea – First warm the tea utensils with boiling water, then put in the tea leaves. 2. Soaking the tea – Water heated to 75°C is poured into a teapot or tea bowls. As soon as the tea leaves are all soaked, this water is completely discarded. 3. For the first infusion, water at a temperature of 75°C is poured into

the pot or bowls, and the liquor is then poured away as quickly as possible. This procedure is repeated for the second infusion. For the third and fourth infusions, the tea is allowed to steep for approximately 15–30 seconds.

rest for about 30 seconds. 3. For the first infusion, water at a temperature of 85–90°C is poured into the pot or bowls, and the resulting liquor is then poured away. The tea can be brewed seven times, being allowed to steep for 15 seconds–1 minute each time.

To make green tea, one should never use boiling water; the correct temperature is approximately 75° C.

Fragrant blue-green tea is brewed with very hot water; the temperature should be between 85° and 90° C.

Blue-green tea, e.g. Taiwan Dongding, Oolong tea – semifermented blue-green tea

Red (black) tea, e.g. Lapsang Souchong – fully fermented red tea

1. Placing the tea – The tea vessel is warmed with boiling water before putting in the tea leaves. 2. Soaking the tea – Water heated to 85°C is poured into a teapot or tea bowls until full to overflowing. As soon as the tea leaves are all soaked, this water is completely discarded, and the leaves are allowed to

4. Placing the tea – An earthenware pot is first warmed with boiling water, and the tea leaves are then put in. 5. Soaking the tea – Water heated to 95–100°C is poured into the pot until it is full to the brim and overflowing. As soon as the tea leaves are all soaked, this water is

completely discarded. 6. For the first infusion, water at a temperature of 95° C is poured into the pot. After being left to brew for about 10 seconds, the liquor is poured away. The tea can be brewed seven times, being allowed to steep for 1–3 minutes each time. Red tea is brewed at a high temperature, and care must be taken that the water does not grow tepid. The correct temperature is approximately 95°C.

Once the tea has been made, it is time to taste it. Tea tasting is an art in itself. One first draws the cup gradually closer, observing the odour of the tea. One then sniffs the tea, taking deep breaths through the nose, before appraising its colour and lustre. At last one takes a small sip, carefully savouring the subtleties of the flavour, and enjoying its fragrance and aroma.

3“Goods”和3“Rights” 3“Goods”指的是好的茶葉，好的茶具和好的茶水。好的茶葉要看葉子的顔色，型狀，質量，香氣和味道，三月底與四月初是採茶的最佳季節。有好的茶葉，就要有好的茶具。沏茶的茶具宜小不宜大，以瓷器最好，一般不用金屬器皿。有了好的茶葉和茶具外，就需要好的茶水，茶水必須無雜質，水質清冽，有助發揮茶葉的甘冽芳醇，無 78

ew would have imagined the company behind the Yeo’s logo, was a little shop in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China making Soy Sauce.

Founded by Mr Yeo Keng Lian in 1900, the Yeo’s family laboured hard to ensure that the product they offered was of the highest quality, a principle upheld to this day. The Yeos moved the business to Singapore in the 1930s, setting up the Yeo Hiap Seng Sauce Factory. Business flourished as then soy sauce grew to become the Singaporeans’ favourite companion for their daily cooking. With gaining popularity, Yeo Hiap Seng expanded into more diversified food and beverage products under the Yeo’s brand. Apart from the traditional soy bean drink, a hit favourite for many locals, the company also produced a series of Asian traditional beverages made from natural ingredients and herbs, and a wide range of products from chilli sauce, soy sauce, culinary sauce and sesame oil to instant noodles. Today, with direct operations in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China, Canada, US and other parts of the globe, Yeo Hiap Seng has grown into a successful food and beverage group with an international presence. Though the company has grown into a world class conglomerate from its soy sauce making days, one thing remains certain: it will continue to offer products of the highest quality, using the finest ingredients, in order to bring the best value to consumers. Chadha Oriental is proud to be the Distributor of the Yeo’s range in the United Kingdom for over 25 years. Based in Welwyn Garden City, Chadha Oriental stocks a comprehensive range of Yeo’s Foods & Beverage products and supplies directly to Ethnic Oriental outlets, Industrial users and mainstream multiples – from Oriental supermarkets to Tesco in fact.

2009 Year of the Earth OX Kung Hei Fat Choi!

This year is a stable year for family life and will be a joyful year. Career wise the rats will take on more responsibilities and will feel the pressure of the extra duties. A good year of steady progress.

This is the year for keeping a low profile, tigers. Because of the slow pace of the OX year, it will be a frustrating time for you. You like things to be move quicker, you will need to show restraint.

The year of the OX is well suited to the rabbit nature. The slower pace of this year will see you spending more time with friends and family. A good year to upgrade your home, or for buying or selling a house.

In business and in romance your word for this year is integrity. Keep your head down and you will make steady progress this year. Established relationships will be comfortable and easy during this year of the OX. A slow but sure progress will be made.

A year for the pig to follow his/her instinct, laying foundations for the future. This is a bright and hopeful year for the pig. Do not take unnecessary risks though.

The Ox can do well this year through steady progress. There may be a number of experiences that will provide great joy for the Ox. One area in particular is your personal life. You may see an addition to the family. You will be surrounded by those who care. Look for the early summer months to attend many social occasions, providing many new faces in your social circle. Be open to the advice of others, as you tend to keep your issues to yourself. Overall, your own year can be one that you will look back on with pride and a genuine sense of achievement.

A very good year for Snakes! The steady pace of the OX year is well suited to the snake person. Act on an opportunity - this is your year.

Although you are rearing to surge ahead, this is another year of caution for the horse. Not a good year to strike out in new directions, consolidate your positions instead. On the brighter side, Love will bring comfort this year.

The Ox is the direct opposite of the sheep, therefore expect challenges in all areas this year. Keep a low profile.

A year for dogs to keep a low profile. Put more attention into matters at home, spending quality time with loved ones. The simple pleasures will bring happiness this year.

Great opportunities for rooster this year. A good time to recoup losses. You will make great progress at work, reaping rewards of your labor. Emotional ties bring joy. Your prestige and reputation increase.

This is a year of moderate progress for monkeys. Work will slow down this year allowing the monkey more personal time. It also allows for quality time with friends and family.
