On Sunday, September 21, 2025, we came together at Aberdeen Neighborhood Park for a community memorial in honor of Charlie Kirk.

Despite challenges and criticisms along the way, the turnout and the spirit of the evening showed that Richmond residents are willing to gather peacefully, reflect deeply, and stand for the belief that no one should lose their life because of what they believe.

The music, the prayers, the quiet moments of silence, and the lights we lifted together reminded us that compassion and humanity are stronger than hate.

I want to sincerely thank every single person who attended, whether you came to pray, to sing, to reflect, or simply to observe. Your presence made this event meaningful.

Let’s carry forward the message we shared that night: to choose reflection over retaliation, dialogue over hatred, and humanity over dehumanization.

Thank you, Richmond, for standing together.

在 2025 年 9 月 21 日星期日，我們齊聚於列治文Aberdeen社區公園，一同舉辦了紀念 Charlie Kirk 的社區追思活動。

儘管過程中遇到各種挑戰與質疑，但當晚的參與人數與現場氛圍，充分展現出列治文居民願意以和平、理性的方式相聚，深刻反思，並堅守一個信念：沒有人應該因為自己的信仰或立場而失去生命。

音樂、祈禱、片刻的靜默，以及我們一同舉起的光亮，都提醒著我們：同理與人性，永遠比仇恨更強大。

我要誠摯感謝每一位到場的朋友，無論您是來祈禱、歌唱、默想，或只是靜靜見證，您的出席讓這場活動更具意義。

讓我們將當晚傳遞的訊息繼續帶到生活中：選擇 反思而非報復，選擇 對話而非仇恨，選擇 人性而非去人性化。

感謝列治文，謝謝大家一同站在一起。
