Happy Lunar New Year to our CMB friends and colleagues!

As we welcome the lunar new year, I extend my best wishes to all of you in Chinese— hǔ hǔ shēng wēi (虎虎生威) – wishing you the strength, vitality, and independence of the tiger. These qualities will stand us in good stead as we navigate these challenging times and work together for a healthier world.

CMB’s work has always been built on partnerships, and over the course of 100 years, these collaborations have grown into deep friendships. I have felt that sense of friendship over the course of my first year as CMB president. What a gift that is!

Even though our first meetings have been online, rather than in person, our shared commitment to enhancing health and well-being is immediately evident in our conversations. We find common ground in our focus on medical and nursing education, quality of care, capacity building for health professionals, and global health leadership development, with many opportunities to expand collaborations.

“Together for a Shared Future” is the official motto of the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, opening in Beijing in just a few days. That theme resonates deeply with all of us in the CMB community. Our collaborations, and our exchanges of expertise and ideas, recognize the spirit of striving for something greater than individual reward or success. As we embark on the new year, I am grateful that CMB and its colleagues and friends share that sense of “Together for a Shared Future”—all working with the single-minded goal of making the world a healthier place.

On behalf of CMB’s trustees and staff, our heartfelt best wishes for a happy and healthy Year of the Tiger!

值此新春佳节到来之际，恭祝美国中华医学基金会（China Medical Board, CMB）的朋友和同仁们春节快乐！

在此，我想援引一句成语向诸位致以最美好的祝愿——“虎虎生威”，具有像百兽之王一样的充满力量、保持活力和坚韧不拔的品质。这将有助于我们应对这个时代的挑战，共同致力于构建更健康的世界。

同舟共济的伙伴关系始终是CMB公益事业的基础，百余年间的合作让我们结下了深厚的友谊。在担任CMB主席的第一年里，我深切感受到了我们彼此间的真情厚意。这是一份弥足珍贵的礼物！

尽管与大多数同仁的第一次见面都是视频会议形式，但我们从交谈初始就感受到了彼此对于增进健康和福祉的共同承诺。我们一同关注医学和护理教育、医疗服务质量、卫生人才的能力建设和全球健康领导力提升，并有很多进一步开拓合作的机会。

“一起向未来”是即将开幕的2022年北京冬奥会和冬残奥会的主题口号。这一主题让CMB及合作伙伴们都产生了深刻的共鸣。我们的合作，以及专业造诣和思想的交流分享，也体现了这种忘我的奋斗精神。当新的一年开启之时，我对CMB和其同好秉承 “一起向未来” 的精神表示感激，所有人都在努力实现构建更健康的世界这一共同目标。

我谨代表CMB的理事和员工，衷心祝愿您虎年快乐，身体健康!
