About Hua Kuang
認識華光
Background
源由
Many Chinese immigrate to North America in order to pursue a better life and stay here permanently. Some of them achieve successful in their career, while others simply work very hard to make a living. Many Chinese rarely have a chance to read Chinese materials, especially our classical literature, Chinese history, and poems, etc. It is because there are very few resources for them to read the Chinese materials. Therefore, Hua Kuang Chinese Reading Room was found in this background.
宋体 北美華人由於追求美好生活、遠離祖國、植根他鄉。部分華人在科技界尋求發展﹐宋体 建立良好基業。部分華人卻需要辛勤工作﹐養家糊口﹐孜孜營生。無論華人在海外的境遇是飛黃騰達﹐還是抑鬱不得志﹐或過著平淡安逸的日子﹐除了忙碌的理由外﹐就是不容易找到可以稍為豐富的中文資料地方﹐以致鮮有機會接觸沉浸中華文化典籍﹐華光中文閱覽室就是在這背景下建立。
