On Saturday, January 26th, the Chinese Culture Foundation will host a Celebration of Life in honor of Maurice Chuck, a pioneer in fighting for the rights of Chinese in America, an accomplished journalist,a writer and a tireless advocate of US-China relations. His family and friends would like to share an afternoon of remembrance with the community he dedicated a lifetime of service. Maurice passed on December 21, 2012.

In 1972, Maurice founded and published the San Francisco Journal, a Chinese language newspaper with a weekly English edition. The SF Journal reported on community events as well as news in China based on his travels and first hand interviews with Chinese officials. Upon retiring from the San Francisco Journal, he devoted his time to writing.

In 1995, Maurice published the Literati monthly magazine. His publications included 4 volumes of Selected Works of Maurice Chuck, Passionate Years in San Francisco, Chinatown and Outspoken. Maurice’s trilogy, Raving Currents, Raging Tides and Towering Waves, was completed and published earlier this year.

The Chinese Culture Foundation honored Maurice Chuck with our 2012 Lifetime Achievement in Community Building Award at our Harmony and Bliss Gala.

舊金山華文新聞界名人、前時代報社長兼總編輯、美華文學雜誌社長黃運基於2012年12月21日因病逝世。依遺囑，喪禮一切從簡。

黃運基先生對華文新聞事業、爭取華人權益、美中友好事業都有重要貢獻。中華文化基金會很榮幸於和諧喜樂晚宴中授予黃運基2012年回饋社區終生成就獎。生前好友決定為他舉行社區追悼會，訂於2013年1月26日（周六）下午時在舊金山中華文化中心舉行。會中將有黃運基的老朋友、時代報舊員工和中華人民共和國駐舊金山總領事致詞，並播放記錄黃運基生平的影音資料。

追悼會主辦者和黃運基的家屬表示，儀式的主調是緬懷逝者對社會的貢獻，因此婉謝花圈。帛金則請捐助以下三個單位：舊金山中華文化中心、華人權益促進會、安老自助處。
