Dear OCA-CVC members, families, and friends,
On behalf of the OCA-CVC board, I would like to wish everyone a joyous and prosperous new year!
As we come together to celebrate the Lunar New Year, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors: Evergreen Enterprises & Ms. Ting Xu, Sarah Bice and Associates Real Estate, LLC, Wen Acupuncture Healing Center, and Teppanyaki Grill & Buffet. Their generous support has made this in-person New Year celebration possible, marking a significant return to normalcy after the challenges posed by the pandemic. Thank you!
This year we have successfully resumed several signature in-person events since the pandemic, including the Asian Festival partnered with AASoCV, fall picnic, and general member meeting. We also actively engaged in supporting various community initiatives, notably, the OB Gates International Day, the Manchester YMCA community welcome event, Mid-Autumn Festival in partnership with Kasama Collectives, as well as tennis and pickleball tournaments. Moreover, our chapter proudly sponsored members to attend the OCA National Convention, participating in advocacy events at the national level. We were also honored to receive the "Chapter of the year - Emerging chapter" award and celebrate Angela Chiang's recognition with the "Unsung Hero" award at the OCA National 50-year anniversary.
Thanks to the generous support of Altria Employees’ Give Together Fund and San Yeh Charity and Education Corp, our youth program has reached new heights. A pivotal milestone was the successful launch of our inaugural Youth Leadership Training Program, culminating in the graduation of 14 outstanding high school students. The Youth Leadership award program, having awarded over $20,000 to more than 60 exceptional local high school students in central Virginia, continues to make a positive impact in fostering young leaders in our communities. Since its launch in 2020, our free one-on-one online tutoring program for underserved communities has assisted hundreds of students from local elementary, middle, and high schools. This year, we welcomed three highly motivated high school students as junior members of our board. Under the direct supervision of board members, our junior board has excelled in organizing a student art contest for the Lunar New Year celebration. Additionally, they have set up a display booth showcasing our youth program and its impact on our communities.
As we embrace the opportunities that the new year brings, let us continue to work together in fostering a stronger and more connected community. Thank you for your continuous support and I wish you and your families a happy and healthy New Year!
Warm regards
Jie Liu, President of the OCA-CVC

Evergreen Enterprises
In 1993, in an ordinary community garage in Richmond, Virginia, a Chinese enterprise full of dreams was born - Evergreen Enterprises. The original intention of her establishment was simple and pure, hoping to start a new life and find the happiness of life for Kochi parents who came to a foreign country for the first time. By chance, I got acquainted with Garden Flag, which started Evergreen’s entrepreneurial journey.
The founder, Ms. Xu Ting, and her family relied on their keen insight into the American garden flag market and their unremitting efforts. The company continued to develop and grow, and developed from an initial production and trading company of garden decorative flags into a global leader in home, garden decoration, gifts and motherboards. A large lifestyle global company that is trending in the baby market. Today, Evergreen not only has its headquarters in Richmond, but also has branches in Canada and Ningbo, China, with more than 800 employees worldwide. Evergreen has a rich product range with more than 12,000 categories and serves more than 17,000 independent retailers. The company has also established in-depth cooperative relationships with many well-known retail companies in North America, such as Costco, Wal-Mart, Kroger, Lowe's, and Home Depot. In addition, Evergreen owns multiple private brands and sells products directly to consumers on independent websites such as www.myevergreen.com, www.plowhearth.com, www.windandweather.com and www.vivaterra.com, as well as on Wayfair A complete sales network has been formed on mainstream online shopping platforms such as , Target, and Amazon.
Over the past 30 years, Evergreen has always adhered to family ties and adhered to its original aspirations. In a complex and ever-changing market environment, Evergreen has stood out with its fast, accurate and stable flexibility. Ms. Xu Ting, Chairman of Evergreen, has always believed that only by maintaining the spirit of advancing with the times and constantly innovating and pioneering can the company maintain vitality and develop steadily. As an outstanding Chinese entrepreneur, Ms. Xu Ting not only successfully runs Evergreen, but also serves as a director of New Market Corporation, VA Public Media, The Nature Conservancy and other organizations, and fully supports various charity activities of the Chinese American Museum in Washington. , such as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Touring Exhibition, the National Palace Museum exchange activities, etc., and has also been supporting various social activities of the Chinese-American Association, committed to building a bridge of friendship between China and the United States, and promoting economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
"World view, Chinese sentiment, evergreen people" has always been the core concept of Evergreen. Under the leadership of Ms. Xu Ting, Evergreen will continue to create new miracles and demonstrate its unique charm and social responsibility as a global enterprise.
San Yeh Charity and Education Corp
San's Story
On June 15, 1924, San Lian Yeh was born in Zhejiang, a province on the eastern coast of China. He grew up as the youngest of four brothers and three sisters in a large middle-class family. As a teenager, San personally experienced two hugely definitive world events — the Japanese invasion of China in 1937 and the subsequent outbreak of the Second World War. Through the majority of the war, San worked as a middle school teacher, mentoring young students who had been torn from their families during the conflict. When Japanese forces advanced on his home town in 1944, he and several other teachers guided a group of their students through the mountains to escape. After safely delivering the children to the Chinese national forces in Shanghai, he joined the Nationalist army under the command of Chiang Kai-Shek and continued to fight the Japanese until the end of the war.
“We grant annual scholarships to students who embody the traits we value most – sincerity, honesty, and integrity. ”
