The Chinese community in Buffalo gathered at the CCWNY Spring Festival Gala to celebrate the traditional Chinese New Year. The event was filled with joy and laughter, showcasing the community’s unity and vitality.
In his speech, CCWNY President Liu Beiying extended warm New Year wishes to all guests and community members. On behalf of the CCWNY team, he wished the Buffalo Chinese community a Happy New Year, family happiness, and success in all endeavors.
President Liu highlighted that this year marks the first Chinese New Year since the New York State government officially recognized it as a public holiday. He emphasized that this milestone achievement was made possible through the collective efforts of all Chinese Americans. “This recognition reflects our community’s significant contributions to American history and acknowledges our culture and hard work. We must remain united and continue striving for our rights and for the prosperity of Buffalo, our second home, which we deeply love,” he said.
In recent years, Buffalo’s Chinese community has been thriving, attracting talented individuals and continuously improving its environment. President Liu reiterated that CCWNY will always serve as a “home” for community members. As more Chinese people choose to live and work in Buffalo, the community has been growing stronger and more dynamic. This event not only celebrated the Chinese New Year but also demonstrated the community’s spirit of unity, mutual support, and optimism for the future.
A special thank you goes to all the volunteers, businesses, art groups, performers, and community members for their generous support. It was their dedication and hard work that made this event a great success.

布法罗华人在CCWNY举办的春晚中，共同庆祝中国传统佳节，场面热闹非凡，欢声笑语中展现了社区的团结与活力。
CCWNY会长刘北英在发言中向所有来宾及社区成员致以新春的美好祝愿，并代表CCWNY工作人员向布法罗的父老乡亲拜年，祝福大家新春快乐、阖家幸福、万事如意！
刘北英会长特别提到，今年春节是纽约州政府将中国新年设立为公共假日后的第一个春节。这一里程碑式的成就，离不开所有华裔美国人的共同努力。会长表示：“这是我们华裔在美国历史上作出重大贡献的体现，也是对我们文化与努力的认可。我们要继续团结一致，为我们的权益和布法罗这片土地努力。布法罗是我们的第二故乡，我们热爱这里。”
近年来，布法罗的华人社区蓬勃发展，人才济济，社区环境日新月异。大家需要齐心协力，共同建设团结、和谐、欣欣向荣的社区。会长刘北英强调，联谊会始终是社区成员的“娘家”。布法罗近年来吸引了越来越多的华人前来生活和工作，社区面貌日新月异，人才辈出。此次活动不仅是对新春佳节的庆祝，也展示了华人社区团结协作、相互支持的精神风貌，展现了对未来的美好憧憬。
我们特别感谢志愿者、商家、文艺团体、演员以及社区各界的鼎力支持，正是大家的无私奉献和辛勤付出，才让此次活动圆满成功。
