「華工鋪建橫貫美國鐵路歷史圖片展覽」

English: May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time when we celebrate the culture, history, and contributions of AANHPI people. From 1865 to 1869, thousands of Chinese laborers played a vital role in constructing the first transcontinental railroad in the United States, at an astonishing speed and under hazardous working conditions. The completion of this railroad transformed the U.S. transportation and trade industries and had a profound impact on the U.S. economy that can be felt to this day. In celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month, we express our utmost gratitude to these laborers for their unwavering dedication, perseverance, and remarkable contributions to our country. This exhibition is hosted by APAPA New York and Flushing Library. Exhibition Opening Ceremony: Saturday, May 11, 1pm
Chinese: 「華工鋪建橫貫美國鐵路歷史圖片展覽」 （主辦單位：亞太公共事務聯盟及皇后區法拉盛圖書館） 5月是美國的亞太裔傳統月，當月我們慶祝亞太裔美國人的文化、歷史、以及對社會的貢獻。 從1865年到1869年，數以千計的中國勞工在危險、艱苦的工作環境下，以驚人的速度幫助建造了第一條橫貫美國東西倆岸的鐵路。橫貫鐵路工程的完工改變了美國的運輸與貿易業，對美國經濟的深遠影響，直至今日。 在慶祝亞太裔傳統月之時，我們對這些鐵路華工的辛勞、勤奮、毅力，及他們對美國社會發展的貢獻表示最深最高的敬意。
