Join us as the U.S. Postal Service unveils its Official 2010 Year of the Tiger Stamp. There will be a ceremony to commemorate the event with City Officials and S.F. Postmaster Noemi Luna to celebrate this event. Be the first to witness these stamps and take part of history in the making! This is a perfect event for families and anyone interested in stamps.

This is the second time the Postal Service has commissioned a Lunar New Year stamp series. Art director Ethel Kessler worked with illustrator Kam Mak to design the stamp. Kam Mark is an artist who grew up in New York City’s Chinatown and now lives in Brooklyn. To commemorate the Year of the Tiger, narcissus flowers were chosen, considered auspicious and fitting for this time of renewed hope for the future. It was originally created using oil paints on a fiberboard panel.

The Chinese Culture Center is proud to present Harrison Lim’s new book, “A Thousand Years of Women’s Tears.” This book examines the heartbreak that Chinese women throughout history experience in relationships. It also looks beyond women in Asia to examine women in other countries. Men and women relationships are analyzed through the lens of a 3rd person perspective, who is better able to see the relationship than the ones in it as the saying goes: “love is blind.” This book will give insight into men and women relationships and show that the ups and downs of relationships are universal, going beyond cultural barriers. This book is written in Chinese. RSVP here.

中華文化中心12月19日推出林炳昌的新書 《千年紅淚》。 作者林炳昌會在當場介紹他的新書和簽售。書內曾提及文士譽美慧女人是”歷史的風韻”；學者則嘆她們為封建王朝的祭品。是風韻抑是祭品？或是兩相交映的互染？讀者可在《千年紅淚》中尋到消息。

《千年紅淚》是以美慧名女人的淚水為經，以負心漢的薄倖為緯，深情地慮譜歷代美慧名女人那種哀傷染著酸淚，凄楚揉著血絲的心曲，繪畫幕幕”才如江海命如絲”的名女人的生命困境，讓伊等的風韻與淚痕，重現君前，伴君笑，隨君哭。

《千年紅淚》里的名女人有古有今，有中有西。數十位孤魂瘦影在《千年紅淚》裡閃閃搖搖，位位動人，篇篇魂移。作者希望歷代美慧名女人的笑聲淚影，長留讀者心間。
