十一月六日,在克城佰億酒家,克城大詩人劉天擎和邱繼聰的公子劉雲平和他的太太及兩個兒子,在回克城看望父母親的同時,邀請了五十多位親朋好友小聚,十分感謝劉雲平每一次來克城都不忘記祝福伊利華報,在當日他的開場白就是祝賀華報五周年!
早在八年前,我還是克里夫蘭婦女聯誼會懂事會成員之一,那時我主要搞活動,記得那一年是由我擔任和策劃三八婦女節活動,那一次活動我嘗試編制了十分鐘的録像帶,介紹三位女性,其中一位是邱繼聰女士,她事業成功,家庭和諧,又有一位參與政治的優秀兒子,就這樣我認識了劉雲平。
劉雲平,在中國台灣出生,不滿三歲就同母親一起來美國和父親團聚,當時大詩人劉天擎在克里夫蘭大學攻讀法律。一個機遇讓劉大詩人開始做了禮品連鎖店生意,他們在克里夫蘭一住就是三十多年,劉大詩人喜歡講一句話:克里夫蘭除了雪多以外,樣樣好,尤其是敎育孩子的好地方。劉雲平,在父母親的身傳言敎下,從小就是一個十分懂事的孩子,一旦做出決定,他就絶對負責到底,他尊重老人,體貼父母創業的艱難。他母親的一句話“DO
YOUR BEST”伴隨了他的人生之路。
劉雲平高中畢業後,榮獲空軍奬學金,進入了史丹福大學,大學畢業後一邊在空軍服役,一邊在法學院進修,取得華府喬治城大學法律博士學位,他是一名律師又是一名警察官,並在空軍服役十年。他曾經在華盛頓郵報上寫過一篇文章《你是中國空軍嗎?》現已經被國會收藏。劉雲平,他立志從政,放棄律師和銀行高薪職位,于2002年正式當選托倫斯首位華裔市議員,2005年高票當選加州衆議員,靠刻苦勤奮一路走來很順利,他的當檢察官的太太對他百分之一百的支持,他有兩個健康的兒子。他在政治生涯上一步一個腳印走向他的目標。
