"Independence" that is, Chinese independent schools, all financial supply by the Chinese society itself, not to rely on Government subsidies. Pei wind secondary school, Alumni Association President what happiness interview with Phoenix network, said the Malaysian Chinese education is Southeast area system better, financing of sustainable practices. Just one thing to understand is that "we are consciously keep holding our ancestors, but Chinese education is beginning to westernize. " (Li Yang) the following is an interview with record: Phoenix network: Please tell us about the Pei wind High School Alumni Association. What Fu (Pui wind Middle School Alumni Association President): our Alumni Association was established in the year has more than 70 years, was founded in 1935, the Alumni Association of the most simple aim is to assist in the development of my alma mater. Why take this objective into first? because Pei wind middle school is a private school, the so-called "private" is our overseas own school, the Government has no subsidies. We can pass on their own, to our Chinese culture; Alumni Association of the adult population is at his alma mater, graduation, our task is to assist in the development of my alma mater, the other task is to carry forward the Chinese culture. Phoenix network: the Alumni Association, primarily in the economy has some what contribution? what Fu: today we graduated more than 10 000 alumni, some in the business school has a number of achievements, they are all in the spirit of Chinese culture of thought �� from the source. In the financial, material, we areinvolved in the development of my alma mater, to give back to his alma mater, shade trees, later by our predecessors, we now also have to continue the kind of book, let people be able to continue to pass on our Chinese culture. Because we believe that a nation, is the most important intellectual and cultural heritage, only culture only hides the true wisdom of the Chinese nation. You can use language to inheritance, you can also use habits to inheritance, you can also use words to inheritance, so we must maintain the cultural roots, we will not be free of ethnic roots. In order to achieve such a goal, there are some Malaysia predecessors also character with one thing while in prison, this kind of thing. Malaysia in Chinese cultural heritage, from the world of it, can be said to be the best-preserved. We from primary, secondary or even to the University has its own school. Primary school, our school has more than 300; independent schools, so-called "separate schools" and not "independence", just their own economic independence from government contributions are more than 60; University, we used to have variable Nanyang University, and later made into Southern College, College of the new origin, which are all in Chinese teaching as a medium of higher learning, to pass on our full of Chinese culture. Phoenix network: Malaysia Government have not recognized the Chinese culture? what Fu:, Malaysia from independence until now, there is no recognition of our "independent" diploma, but "independence" diploma in world or from many institutions recognized, if not recognized, we are not able to governmental units have any work because he did not recognize our degree, so we have to become self-reliant, many performance but will be even better, I think that a culture has been suppressed, it forces the rebound will be even greater. Phoenix network: do you feel that people are increasingly inclined to Malaysia schools, or independence? what Fu: we are Japan Malaysia rule three yearsand eight months, and is protected by United Kingdom rule, hundreds of years ago we were before the Netherlands, Portugal, and come here after Chinese is clear and the era of the early Ming dynasty, so these ancestors will give the Chinese culture seed here, they inherited the Chinese culture. However, due to economic relations, to the Government for additional language school, which will be lost. But with the rise of Chinese forces, we think that the Chinese will have its economic value, but we seek is internal, not matter, what we seek is that spirit of our ancestors left behind things? so in Malaysia, we are encouraged to read the four books five through primary school, the Confucius and Lao Zi, Mencius, most notably classical Chinese feel that we should not be abandoned and may not be abandoned. Because through the classical memorization, and the child grew naturally applies, it will look in classical Chinese, classical Chinese is a lock, to enter our Chinese culture that kind of true wisdom. True wisdom is to keep these classic inside. The University "," golden mean "," Analects of these it unchanged, so we think, I think we can read the vernacular, these keys lost, perhaps we could not enter into a true treasure of wisdom. Phoenix network: some people think that big horse education in Southeast Asia is a very nice? what Fu: I have just said, we retain the integrity of our hard work, we strive for, but also because our family here proportion of relatively high. We strive for, and we own a very clear, to be preserved, which was preserved. And you look at the South-East Asia, Indonesia also has 2 million Chinese, but they have lost their culture, an entire generation. In 1998, the Government's financial turmoil, loosened only let language education. In Cambodia, too, so they now need a large number of teachers, since I came to see the Chinese, we consciously keep holding our ancestors, but China is increasingly Westernized, I think this is a question. And we think you moving in the right direction.
