English:

Chinatown residents have been undergoing anti-Asian and prejudice ever since the start of COVID-19. Ignorant people have blamed Asians, no matter their ethnicity, for the cause of the virus. There have been attacks, racist comments, hate speech, and slander, more than ever before. But one of the most prevalent effects of this pandemic is that many restaurants that were once packed, like the Phoenix restaurant at 2131 S. Archer Ave., have been deserted. The manager, Fai Liang, fears that their business will have to close, even after they have been a Chinatown staple for about 30 years. They’re afraid that the few customers that trickle in are not going to be enough to keep them afloat. And just like them, many other restaurants are afraid of losing their businesses. This made longtime residents Carlos Matias and Jose Corcoles spring into action. They organized a meeting to show all of these struggling businesses support, making sure the voices of these people were heard. And they hope to spread the message that there’s nothing to be afraid of and that these businesses and families are struggling, and they need everyone’s and anyone’s help. They want to show Chinatown is open for business, and that everyone should come out and have good food. Hopefully, everyone will start to listen and will come together to lend a helping hand or two.

Mandarin:

自从新冠病毒爆发以来，居住在唐人街的人们正在经历着敌视亚洲和歧视的遭遇。虽然亚洲人是由不同种族组成的，但是无知的人把病毒起因都归咎于亚洲人了。人生攻击，种族主义言论，仇恨言论和诽谤比以前多了。但是，这种流行病最普遍的影响之一是许多曾经挤满人的饭馆，例如位于Archer 南大道2131号的凤凰饭馆，已经无人问津了。经理Fai Liang担心，他们的生意也将被迫关门。尽管这些生意成为唐人街的中坚力量已有三十多年了。唐人街的业主们担心的稀稀拉拉的几个客人不足于维持他们的生意。出于相同的原因，很多饭馆业主也害怕失去他们的生意，因此像长期居住在唐人街的卡洛斯·马蒂亚斯和何塞·科科尔斯迅速采取了行动。他们组织了一次会议，向所有这些苦苦挣扎的企业表达支持，以确保这些业主的述求有人听得到。而且他们希望把这些信息传播出去：没有什么可惧怕的，这些企业和家庭在抗争，他们需要所有人的帮助。他们想向人们展示唐人街是在开张营业的，所以每个人都应该出来吃好吃的东西。希望每个人都能互相开始倾听，并且聚到一起，伸出援助的手。
