I also love the conversations I have had with your team and journalists over the years, and I hope you keep telling stories for the next 50 years.”

District 6 Councilman Matt Dorsey, a former San Francisco Police Department spokesman, said, “I have worked with journalists for most of my career and have always valued the role of the fourth estate in the system of government, which keeps us honest, sometimes gives us headaches, but always makes government better.” “This is especially true for publications and news sources that allow the Chinese community to understand local government, and so they deserve doubly gratitude.”
Li Mingbin said in his speech: “On behalf of World Journal, I am very honored to accept this recognition. I would like to thank Councilor Chen Xiaoyan and his office for this recognition. For many Chinese immigrants, World Journal is not only a newspaper but also a lifeline, allowing them to understand their new home, understand city government trends, and stay connected.”
