留尼汪在法国,属于一个外省岛。

Reunion Island is a provincial island in France.
人口有80万,其中4万人信仰关帝,是中国人。

It has a population of 800,000, of which 40,000 are Chinese and believe in Emperor Guan.
留尼汪的面积有2500平方公里。

Reunion Island has an area of 2500 square kilometers.
它的形状呈椭圆形,像一只海龟。

Its shape is oval, like a turtle.
省内有4个供奉关帝的庙宇,北面1个,南面3个。

There are four temples dedicated to Emperor Guan, one in the north and three in the south.
当我们每次准备庆祝关帝生日的时候,

Every time when we prepared to celebrate Emperor Guan’s birthday,
有将近2000人参加活动。

Nearly 2,000 people would participate in the activities.

我们的信奉人员在各个寺庙进行推广,有很多华人、法国人到场。

Our believers promoted Guan’s culture in various temples and many Chinese and French would show up.
我们总是把这个工作做得最好,以传播中国的关帝文化。

We always try our best to spread the Chinese Emperor Guan’s culture.
在推广的过程中,我们也准备一些小小礼物给参与的人们,以表示感谢。

In the process of promotion, we have also prepared some small gifts to people involved in order to express our gratitude.
我们每次组织开展这样的活动,要持续3到4天。

Every time we organize such activities, it will last 3 to 4 days.
现在我们主办关帝的活动时,也邀请中国太原市艺术团开展演出。

Now when we host activities about Emperor Guan, we also invite Chinese Taiyuan troupe from Shanxi province to give performances.
像这样的活动,我们已经举办两届了。

We have held activities like this twice.
关公文化,在我们那里,不能说是一种新的文化,

Guan Gong culture cannot be said a new culture in Reunion Island,
因为关公精神在华人眼里,已经永远融在了心里。

Because the spirit of Guangong has melted in the hearts of many Chinese people.
这是我们在留尼汪的一间关帝庙,

This is one of Emperor Guan’s temple in Reunion Island,
在农历6月24的这一天,大家供奉关帝的场面。

On the day lunar June 24th, people is worshipping Emperor Guan.
这次来参加山西运城关公文化节,四家关帝庙的负责人都到场了,

This time leaders of all four Emperor Guan’s temples arrived at Yuncheng city of Shanxi province to participate Guangong Cultural Festival,
加上他们的会员,总共有20多人。
There are a total of 20 people including their members.
非常感谢关帝祖庙,给我们的所有支持,谢谢大家!

Thanks to all the support that Emperor Guan’s temples give us, thank you!
