韓院長：華僑如種子 心繫故鄉 是台灣的珍貴力量
President Han: Overseas compatriots, like seeds scattered afar, remain deeply connected to their homeland and represent a cherished source of strength for Taiwan.
立法院韓國瑜院長於本（4月30）日下午在國民黨陳永康委員、民進黨王正旭委員、國際事務處楊芳苓副處長，以及僑務委員會阮昭雄副委員長陪同下，接見「羅省中華會館回國訪問團」訪團一行。
On the afternoon of April 30, Legislative Yuan President Daniel K.Y. Han met with a homecoming delegation from the Los Angeles Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association （CCBA）. He was accompanied by KMT Legislator Adm. Chen Yeong-Kang, DPP Legislator Dr. Wang Cheng-Hsu, Deputy Director of the International Affairs Department Yang Fang-Ling, and Deputy Minister Joshua Jhao-Syong Ruan of the Overseas Community Affairs Council（OCAC）.
韓院長首先向訪賓致以誠摯歡迎，並偕同出席委員與訪賓合影留念。韓院長致詞表示，「羅省中華會館」自1889年創立以來，迄今已有136年歷史。當年國父孫中山先生為推動民主革命，亦曾造訪該會館，受到僑胞熱烈支持與慷慨捐輸，大家出錢出力，共同促成中華民國的誕生。時至今日，「羅省中華會館」仍懸掛國父遺像與中華民國國旗，令人感佩。
President Han first extended a warm welcome to the visiting guests and joined the attending legislators in a group photo with the delegation to commemorate the occasion. In his remarks, President Han noted that the CCBA, founded in 1889, has a history spanning 136 years. He recalled that when Dr. Sun Yat-Sen sought to advance the democratic revolution, he visited the CCBA and received enthusiastic support and generous donations from overseas compatriots, who financed and contributed to the founding of the Republic of China to help bring about the founding of the Republic of China. He added that, to this day, the CCBA continues to display the portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen and the national flag of the Republic of China, a gesture that commands deep respect and admiration.
韓院長進一步指出，「羅省中華會館」一直是支持中華民國台灣的重要力量。無論是「2016年台南地震」、「2018年花蓮地震」，乃至「2024年花蓮0403大地震」，「羅省中華會館」皆迅速響應、率先發起賑災募款活動，令人十分感動。他比喻，華僑如同一粒種子，飄洋過海，在異鄉落地生根、茁壯成長，卻始終心繫故鄉，是台灣的珍貴力量。院長特別強調，近期許多華僑朋友訪台，都很關心立法院的最新動態。他期許國會與行政部門相互尊重、各司其職，秉持大愛精神，攜手為台灣與全體人民創造更美好的未來與生活。最後，韓院長再次感謝「羅省中華會館」的朋友們專程回國訪問，並誠摯邀請大家把台灣當「娘家」，常回來相聚。
President Han further emphasized that the CCBA has long been a vital pillar of support for the Republic of China（Taiwan）, mentioning that whether following the 2016 Tainan earthquake, the 2018 Hualien earthquake, or the April 3, 2024 Hualien earthquake, the CCBA has consistently demonstrated a swift response, taking the initiative in launching disaster relief fundraising efforts—actions that are truly moving and commendable. He likened overseas compatriots to seeds carried across the seas—taking root and thriving in foreign lands, yet always remaining deeply connected to their homeland—embodying a precious source of strength for Taiwan. President Han specifically emphasized that many overseas compatriots visiting Taiwan in recent months have expressed keen interest in the latest developments within the Legislative Yuan. He expressed his hope that the Legislative Yuan and the executive departments will uphold mutual respect and fulfill their respective responsibilities, working together in a spirit of compassion to build a better future and quality of life for Taiwan and all its people. In closing, President Han once again expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the members of the CCBA for making the trip back to Taiwan, and warmly invited them to consider Taiwan their home—a place to which they are always welcome to return.
「羅省中華會館」聶澤英主席感謝院長撥冗接見，並表示非常榮幸能拜會立法院。立法院代表全體台灣人民行使立法權，是亞洲的民主典範。中華民國是亞洲第一個民主共和國，訪團此行深刻感受到台灣社會安定、經濟穩健、科技與教育成就斐然，人民熱情好客，更珍視中華文化的保存與傳承，展現出華人社會重視教育與傳承的特色，讓訪賓深受感動。
CCBA Chairperson Norman Nie expressed his gratitude to President Han for taking the time to receive the delegation, adding that it was a great honor to visit the Legislative Yuan. He noted that the Legislative Yuan, which exercises legislative power on behalf of all the people of Taiwan, stands as a model of democracy in Asia. He emphasized that the Republic of China is the first democratic republic in Asia, and that throughout the delegation’s visit, they were deeply impressed by Taiwan’s social stability, economic soundness, and remarkable achievements in science, technology, and education. The warmth and hospitality of the people, as well as their commitment to preserving and passing on Chinese culture, vividly reflected the values of education and heritage that define Chinese communities—leaving a lasting impression on all members of the delegation.
聶主席續稱，此次訪台也帶來加州的陽光與溫暖。「羅省中華會館」致力於在美國推廣台灣文化，並規劃於2028年洛杉磯奧運期間，在唐人街設立「台北夜市」，屆時可望吸引大量人潮，進一步提升台灣國際能見度，並向美國社會介紹聞名世界的台灣美食文化。
Chairperson Nie went on to say that the delegation also brought with them the warmth and sunshine of California. He added that the CCBA is dedicated to promoting Taiwanese culture in the United States and is planning to establish a “Taipei Night Market” in Los Angeles Chinatown during the 2028 Olympic Games. The event is expected to draw large crowds, further enhancing Taiwan’s international visibility and showcasing its world-renowned culinary culture to American society.
陳永康委員致詞表示，「華僑是革命之母」，感謝「羅省中華會館」世代以來對中華民國台灣的堅定支持，並祝福此次返台訪問成果豐碩，繼續弘揚中華文化之美。
Legislator Adm. Chen Yeong-Kang remarked that “Overseas compatriots are the mother of the revolution,” expressing his gratitude to the CCBA for its steadfast support for the Republic of China（Taiwan）across generations. He wished the delegation a fruitful visit and continued success in promoting the beauty of the cultural legacy shared among Chinese-speaking communities.
王正旭委員感謝「羅省中華會館」返台交流，並介紹其成立之「癌症希望基金會」，致力於蒐集與分享中文癌症資訊，協助全球華人取得癌症相關醫療資訊。王委員強調，華僑對國家貢獻卓著，盼能透過此次訪問，深化訪賓對台灣的瞭解。
Legislator Dr. Wang Cheng-Hsu expressed his appreciation to the CCBA for returning to Taiwan to engage in meaningful exchange, and introduced the Hope Foundation for Cancer Care, which he established to gather and share cancer-related information in Chinese, supporting Chinese-speaking communities worldwide in accessing vital medical resources. Legislator Wang emphasized the significant contributions of overseas compatriots to the nation and expressed his hope that this visit would deepen the delegation’s understanding of Taiwan.
韓院長最後表示，很感謝「羅省中華會館」於海外積極推廣台灣美食與文化，對其規劃於2028年洛杉磯奧運期間設立「台北夜市」表達高度期待，相信必將成為洛杉磯唐人街的一大亮點，也誠摯邀請各位日後常至立法院交流訪問。
In closing, President Han expressed his sincere gratitude to the CCBA for its active efforts in promoting Taiwanese cuisine and culture abroad. He conveyed great anticipation for the planned “Taipei Night Market” during the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, believing it will become a major highlight of Chinatown. He also extended a warm invitation to all members of the delegation to visit and engage with the Legislative Yuan more often in the future.
此次拜會歷約40分鐘，氣氛友好愉快，雙方在互贈紀念品及合影後為今日會晤劃下圓滿的句點。
The visit lasted approximately 40 minutes and was marked by a cordial and pleasant atmosphere. The meeting concluded on a high note with the exchange of commemorative gifts and a group photo.
