The United States is a country that highly values freedom. Democracy and freedom are among the important contents of U.S. law and are a profound interpretation of the American spirit and cultural symbols. In addition to the most famous Statue of Liberty, the United States has another symbol of freedom - the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Worldway's U.S. immigration experts will guide you in understanding the symbol of American freedom - the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.
Outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia stands a modern bell tower, home to one of the world's most famous bells, the Liberty Bell, which is a major symbol of the American Revolutionary War. It was cast in London, England, in 1752 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Pennsylvania's founding and was transported to Philadelphia. The bell is approximately one meter tall and weighs about 943 kilograms, and it has been hanging at the top of the Pennsylvania State Capitol since 1753. On July 4, 1776, accompanied by its loud and solemn ringing, the Declaration of Independence was made public for the first time.
On April 1, 1783, the ringing of the Liberty Bell announced the victory of the American Revolutionary War. Thus, the Liberty Bell became a symbol of America's independence and the pursuit of democracy and freedom. Between 1817 and 1846, a long crack appeared on the Liberty Bell, causing great regret. After many years of exhibitions in various cities, the Liberty Bell returned to Philadelphia, quietly welcoming visitors in Independence National Historical Park.
The Liberty Bell is an ordinary bell with a crack; its history spans only 260 years, and it weighs just over 900 kilograms, made from a mixture of various metals. In 1751, it was ordered by the Pennsylvania State Assembly from England for 100 pounds. The craftsmanship at that time was evidently limited, and when the bell arrived in Philadelphia the following year, it cracked during its test ringing. What truly made the Liberty Bell a national symbol was the ringing of the bell atop the Pennsylvania State Capitol after the Continental Congress passed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, drawing citizens to gather in front of the building to hear the representatives read the declaration.
In 1839, a poem titled "The Liberty Bell" appeared in a pamphlet published by American abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, which is how the bell got its name.
Although the history of the United States is short, Americans are adept at preserving their limited historical heritage and continuously reinterpreting it, making it a part of the myth of American political history.
As the connotation of the Liberty Bell continues to enrich and elevate, it has become a symbol of the freedom spirit of a nation and a people, representing the spiritual force of a country and a people striving for independence, freedom, and democracy.
Inscribed on the Liberty Bell is a famous quote from the Bible: "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." Visitors commonly believe that the bell rang on July 4, 1776, to celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, but this is not the case. In 1777, it was transported to Akron, Pennsylvania, to prevent damage from the British Army. In 1846, when it was rung to commemorate President Washington's birthday, it developed severe cracks that could not be repaired, and it has not been rung since.
Therefore, the Liberty Bell is not only a symbol of Philadelphia but also a symbol of the American spirit of freedom, and it is a source of pride for Americans.
Worldway's U.S. immigration experts analyze: Most people immigrate to the United States not only for its superior living environment but also for its soft environment, such as the freedom of speech, respect for civil rights, and the reverence for the rule of law, especially the open and free cultural environment, advanced education, and healthcare resources. The U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program is popular due to its simple application requirements and short processing time. One application allows the entire family to immigrate. After obtaining a green card, individuals can freely enter and exit the United States and reside and work anywhere in the country without immigration monitoring.
The success of the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program hinges on selecting the right project. In the fiscal year 2015, U.S. investment immigration will face significant events such as the arrival of visa backlogs, a surge in applications, and the expiration of the regional center program, which may likely increase the investment amount. Therefore, choosing an EB-5 project that has been pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services becomes the best option to address uncertainties. The Pennsylvania Turnpike project, exclusively represented by Worldway and pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is a 100% U.S. government EB-5 project funded by state government loans with a repayment guarantee. The first phase was sold out in just two months. Currently, the second phase of the Pennsylvania Turnpike project is experiencing even more enthusiastic demand than the first phase. On March 21 and 22, Worldway will hold official briefings for the Pennsylvania Turnpike project in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Qingdao, with executives from the DVRC Regional Center and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission attending.
