纽约曼哈顿华埠庆双十：升旗献花与巡游穿城 华裔青少年在两种文化间寻找认同
10月10日，纽约曼哈顿华埠迎来双十节庆祝活动。据侨务新闻网报道，当天华埠街头旗帜飘扬，传统音乐、锣鼓与舞狮舞龙队伍穿城而行，社区以升旗典礼、献花、国庆大会与巡游庆祝这一延续逾百年的传统。
活动由纽约中华公所及侨界社团参与举办。中华公所主席伍銳賢（Eric Ng）在活动上回顾，孙中山先生曾于1911年到访中华公所、寻求侨界支持；他表示，年度庆祝有助于保存这段历史。台北经济文化办事处纽约办事处处长李志強（James Lee）亦到场，向侨界长期以来的支持致谢。
对在美国出生的华裔青少年而言，这一天还有另一层意义。多名海外青年文化大使（FASCA）成员参加了庆祝，其中 Hunter Chen 与 Caleb Lee 表示，身为第二代移民，双十节让他们有机会亲身接触父辈的文化传统，思考自己同时拥有的台湾与美国双重身份认同。
纽约华埠的双十庆祝始于20世纪初，是当地华人社区历史最悠久的年度节庆之一。
New York's Chinatown Marks Double Ten Day With Flag-Raising, Parade and Lion Dances
Manhattan's Chinatown celebrated Double Ten Day on October 10 with flags, traditional music, drums and lion and dragon dances, according to OCAC News. The day included a flag-raising ceremony, flower offerings, a National Day rally and a parade through Chinatown, continuing a community tradition of more than a century.
The celebration centered on the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA). CCBA President Eric Ng recalled that Dr. Sun Yat-sen visited the association in 1911 to seek support from the overseas Chinese community, and said the annual celebration helps preserve that history. James Lee, director-general of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York, also attended and thanked the community for its longstanding support.
For U.S.-born Chinese-American teenagers, the day carried an additional meaning. Members of the FASCA youth program, including Hunter Chen and Caleb Lee, took part in the celebration and said that, as second-generation immigrants, Double Ten Day gave them a chance to experience their heritage firsthand and reflect on holding both Taiwanese and American identities.
New York Chinatown's Double Ten celebration dates to the early 20th century and remains one of the community's oldest annual festivals.
