「尚都风云 · 华人之光」系列核心活动 2026年9月9日（星期三）
下午2:30至5:00
The Avenue at American Dream, Zone E
主办：历史纪念活动筹委会 · 东方文艺复兴全球联盟
这是「尚都风云 · 华人之光」系列的核心活动，也是本次美国建国二百五十周年纪念中，北美华人社群规模最大的一场时尚与文艺庆典。 活动选在纽约时装周同期举行，地点设于 American Dream 综合体内的 The Avenue。这个选择本身就是一种表达：华人在美国的存在，早已不局限于唐人街的边界，而进入了这个国家最主流的商业、时尚与公共空间。
当日内容包括四个部分：
人物致敬：华人之光人物海报展，展出名录中各领域代表人物，涵盖开拓者、科学家、艺术家、企业家与社区建设者。
时尚呈现：华裔设计师作品发布与走秀，呼应纽约时装周同期语境。
文艺汇演：音乐、舞蹈与舞台表演，串联移民经验与文化记忆。
社群联结：现场交流，汇聚不同领域、不同世代的华人代表与来宾。 在美国迈入下一个二百五十年的节点，我们希望这场活动不只是一次庆祝，而是一次公开的记录：记录华人群体如何参与塑造了这个国家，也记录他们在多元文化背景下持续开拓与创造的过程。
A Night of Fashion and Celebration AMERICA 1776-2026
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 2:30 to 5:00 PM
The Avenue at American Dream, Zone E
Presented by the Historic Commemoration Organizing Committee and The Oriental Renaissance Global Alliance
This is the centerpiece event of "Legacy in Motion · Chinese American Excellence," and the largest fashion and cultural celebration mounted by the Chinese American community for the nation's 250th anniversary. The event takes place during New York Fashion Week, at The Avenue inside the American Dream complex. The setting is itself a statement: the Chinese American presence in this country long ago moved beyond the boundaries of Chinatown and into the most mainstream commercial, cultural, and public spaces the nation has. The program includes four parts: Honoree Recognition: a portrait poster exhibition drawn from the Chinese American Excellence roster, spanning pioneers, scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, and community builders. Fashion Presentation: a runway showcase of work by Chinese American designers, in dialogue with the Fashion Week context. Cultural Performance: music, dance, and staged work connecting immigrant experience and cultural memory.
Community Gathering: an open reception bringing together honorees, guests, and community representatives across fields and generations. As the United States enters its next 250 years, we hope this evening serves not only as a celebration, but as a public record: of how Chinese Americans helped shape this country, and of how they continue to build within it.
十大领域名录
Ten Fields, One Legacy
旅美华人二百五十年 · 人物与社团在线名录
「尚都风云 · 华人之光」的人物致敬部分，并非一次性的名单公布，而是一份持续编纂、逐条撰写的在线名录。 二百五十年间，华人在美国的足迹从铁路工地、洗衣坊与菜园开始，延伸至实验室、法庭、剧场、时装秀场与国会议席。这段历程从未被完整记录过。有人的名字进入了教科书，更多人的名字只留在族谱、报纸的角落，或社区口口相传的记忆里。这份名录试图把散落的部分重新收拢。
名录按十大领域分列：
社会与哲学 Society and Philosophy
科学与技术 Science and Technology
人文与艺术 Humanities and Arts
医疗与健康 Medicine and Health
政治与军事 Politics and Military
时尚与创新 Fashion and Innovation
体育与音乐 Sports and Music
社区与慈善 Community and Philanthropy
教育与宗教 Education and Religion
历史与开拓 History and Frontier
收录对象既包括个人，也包括社团组织。从容闳、王清福、黄金德这样的开拓者，到吴健雄、贝聿铭、王薇薇、马友友、林书豪这样已被世界看见的名字；从旧金山华埠小巷学堂的教师群体、二战华裔军人群体、新冠疫情期间的华埠守护者，到今日仍在运转的商会、同乡会、艺术空间与互助网络。名录不以知名度排序，也不以成就大小取舍，只以领域归类，逐条撰写其生平、贡献与影响。 名录仍在增补中。
每一代新的移民都会往里添上新的名字，而每一次翻查旧报纸、旧档案、旧照片，都可能找回一个曾被忽略的人。若您掌握相关资料，或发现名录中的错漏，欢迎与我们联系。 名录中的部分人物，将在9月9日「时尚与庆典之夜」现场以人物海报形式展出。
Ten Fields, One Legacy An Ongoing Roster of Chinese American Individuals and Organizations, 1776-2026 The honoree recognition program of "Legacy in Motion · Chinese American Excellence" is not a one-time list. It is an ongoing, individually researched online roster. Over two and a half centuries, Chinese Americans moved from railroad grades, laundries, and market gardens into laboratories, courtrooms, theaters, runways, and Congress. Much of that history was never fully recorded. Some names entered the textbooks; far more survived only in family registers, in the margins of old newspapers, or in the memory of a neighborhood. This roster is an attempt to gather what was scattered. (2/3)
The roster is organized across ten fields: Society and Philosophy, Science and Technology, Humanities and Arts, Medicine and Health, Politics and Military, Fashion and Innovation, Sports and Music, Community and Philanthropy, Education and Religion, History and Frontier. Entries include both individuals and organizations: from early figures such as Yung Wing, Wong Chin Foo, and Wong Kim Ark, to internationally recognized names including Chien-Shiung Wu, I. M. Pei, Vera Wang, Yo-Yo Ma, and Jeremy Lin; from the alley-school teachers of San Francisco Chinatown, the Chinese American servicemen of the Second World War, and the neighborhood volunteers of the pandemic years, to the chambers of commerce, mutual aid networks, and art spaces still operating today. Entries are grouped by field rather than ranked by prominence, and each is written with attention to life, contribution, and influence. The roster continues to grow. We know it is incomplete, and we do not expect it ever to be finished. Every generation adds new names, and every return to an old newspaper or archive may recover someone previously overlooked. If you have material to contribute, or find an error, we welcome your correspondence. Selected honorees from the roster will be presented as portrait posters at the Night of Fashion and Celebration on September 9.
America 250 Celebration · Chinese American
In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States, we are proud to present “Legacy in Motion · Chinese American Excellence,” a commemorative celebration recognizing outstanding Chinese American leaders and contributors across the fields of art, fashion, education, business, philanthropy, and community development.
This celebration is not only a tribute to a historic national milestone, but also a meaningful reflection on cultural heritage, cross-cultural exchange, and the shared future we continue to build together. Through honoree recognition, artistic presentation, cultural dialogue, and community engagement, the event highlights the important role Chinese Americans have played in shaping American society and enriching its multicultural landscape.
As the United States enters its next 250 years, we hope to use art and humanity as bridges, bringing together people of different backgrounds and generations to celebrate creativity, resilience, contribution, and connection. This event stands as a tribute to the Chinese American experience and to the enduring values of diversity, inclusion, and shared possibility.
In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, we have launched a special feature page for character posters, highlighting the distinguished figures and co-chairs of this celebration.
Each poster serves as a visual record of their stories, contributions, and the spirit of the times. The honorees hail from diverse fields including art, fashion, education, business, philanthropy, and community building. Through their long-term professional practice, social influence, and cultural engagement, they demonstrate the creativity, cohesion, and contributions of the Chinese community within America’s diverse society.
