The New York City Council has passed a bill to posthumously1 honor Zhe 'Zack Zeng by renaming Bayard Street between Mulberry Street and Baxter Street in the Chinatown area of Manhattan after the fallen hero. Zack died while using his Emergency Medical Technician training he learned at Brighton Volunteer Ambulance.
Bayard Street(贝阿德街)中的Bayard本来就表示勇武异常的人,来自于法国16世纪无畏无瑕骑士Seigneur de Bayard的姓氏,正好与曾喆的英勇事迹暗合。
华裔市议员刘醇逸说,以曾喆的名字命名华埠街道具备两方面的要紧意义。第一,纽约市以人名命名的街道迄今均为命名者的居住地,此次破例以曾喆的名字命名他并没居住过的华埠的街道,就是考虑到曾喆对于华人社区的要紧意义。第二,纽约出现了很多以911英雄命名的街道,曾喆是享有这一殊荣的第一位亚裔英雄
