I was very excited and deeply moved when I came to the front of Wuyi Overseas Chinese Museum, as if I were moved by the profoundness of the museum. This visit really benefited me a lot.
Wuyi Overseas Chinese Museum is divided into six museums, which can be summarized as: dream in Jinshan, overseas entrepreneurship, the heart of a child, the rise of overseas Chinese hometown, a new chapter in Wuyi, and the light of Chinese.
The old expatriates left their hometown and came to the other side of the ocean. They live a hard and poor life, working outside for half their lives, so that their faces are full of vicissitudes. How many lush years have been buried in Jinshan's dream-chasing journey, which is a helpless vicissitudes; But at the same time, it also makes some people stand out and become famous. History is like an endless river, buried with sadness and loneliness, from success to failure. Now we stand at such a height overlooking the prosperity, which is piled up by them with their own bodies. "We should remember that difficult history and cherish those lost figures." Wandering in a foreign country, wandering alone in dreams and reality, just like a duckweed, drifting, enduring the discrimination of Chinese exclusion laws, constantly striving for self-improvement, relying on our hardworking hands, we built an ethereal dream with sweat and sweat in this strange land. The cruelty of reality forced them to stay in a foreign land. They are still attached to the motherland, yellowed stamps, faded silver letters, caring hearts, bearing the affection of blood thicker than water and endless homesickness. Overseas entrepreneurship, they shoulder the dream of the motherland.
The pure heart is a true portrayal of a large number of patriotic overseas Chinese, such as Situ Meitang, Feng Ru, Deng, Li, Huang Sande and Zheng Chaojiong, who actively participated in the Revolution of 1911 and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and saved the famous families from dire straits. Overseas Chinese are always concerned about national peril and have the courage to come forward. With sweat, blood and even precious lives, they paved a broad road for the prosperity of China.
The rise of the hometown of overseas Chinese, during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, overseas Chinese in Wuyi dreamed of building their own hometown, so that future generations would no longer drift away from home and leave their wives and children. This endless stream of local feelings gathered into a bill of exchange, which injected new blood into this land and made the hometown of overseas Chinese and Wuyi rise today. At that time, remittances became the main economic pillar of overseas Chinese life and the lifeline of overseas Chinese development in Wuyi. Nowadays, Wuyi area and overseas Chinese communities have formed a close network of people flow, capital flow, logistics and information flow, and the hometown of overseas Chinese communities has been formed.
Since the end of 1970s, Wuyi area has ushered in a new chapter. More and more overseas Chinese immigrants have expanded the distribution of overseas Wuyi immigrants and further promoted the rapid development of Wuyi cause. In this regard, I can't help but sigh that overseas Chinese in Wuyi have laid a solid foundation for the reform and opening up in Wuyi area and even in China.
The people of China shine brilliantly. Simple photos tell the immortal feats of contemporary China people. On them, it embodies the tradition and spirit of Wuyi people's patriotism and love for their hometown, pioneering and hard work, openness and compatibility, advocating kindness and civilization and progress. On this fertile land, generations of outstanding overseas Chinese have been bred, who have made outstanding achievements in their respective fields and promoted the vigorous development of economy, politics and culture in China and even the whole world. Their feelings of hometown of overseas Chinese and patriotism are beyond doubt and are admired by the world!
In this silent spiritual dialogue, I feel that the struggle of blood and tears is the background of the history of the hometown of overseas Chinese, and the rise and fall of honor and disgrace of hometown and motherland always affects their hearts. Overseas Chinese in Wuyi walk in the long history of cultural collision between China and foreign countries, bearing the brand of China tradition, and blending into the heterogeneous cultural environment. As messengers of world cultural exchange, they have enriched the multicultural pattern of their home country and injected the freshness of foreign culture into the traditional cultural atmosphere of their hometown. Their contribution has universal world significance.
This spiritual dialogue has brought me spiritual baptism and inner reverence for overseas Chinese. Let us sincerely pay tribute to the overseas Chinese in Wuyi!
Reflections on the Overseas Chinese Museum (II): Experience of Visiting Wuyi Overseas Chinese Museum
Today, all the staff in our dormitory visited the Wuyi Overseas Chinese Museum, and I benefited a lot. I would like to take this opportunity to write down my visit experience.
The museum is divided into six halls. We must get the tickets from the front door first and walk all the way to the back door. We can't give up halfway. We also wrote our words in the guest book in front of the back door.
The first museum is the Dream of Jinshan, which mainly tells the story of China's internal troubles and foreign invasion in the middle of19th century. The news that the United States and Canada discovered gold mines one after another, and that the construction of the North American Pacific Railway was in urgent need of labor, formed the knowledge of earning a living in Wuyi hometown of overseas Chinese. Young and middle-aged men are "seven out of ten people looking for a meal abroad". They crossed the ocean and merged into the tide of international migration, becoming the main pioneers of gold mines, railways, tin mines, plantations and farms in North America, Australia, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions.
In a foreign country, overseas Chinese in Wuyi overcame the harsh natural environment, adapted to the differences of cultural customs, resisted the discrimination of Chinese exclusion laws and regulations, endured humiliation and made unremitting efforts, earned hard-earned money with tenacious will and hard-working hands, and worked hard to realize the dream of enriching the country and the hometown. The name Jinshan is very pleasant to listen to, but the rapid process is very hard and makes people feel sad after reading it.
But I still can't help cheering for their great ideals and admiring their bravery and hardships. I can only move on with this admiration and admiration, and strive to see more and understand more. Then we arrived at the second stop.
The second exhibition hall is about overseas entrepreneurship, which mainly tells the story from the difficult years of Chinese exclusion to the gradual transformation of overseas Chinese into Chinese after World War II. Generations of overseas Chinese in Wuyi experienced a psychological process from defoliation to rooting. They worked hard in the countries and regions where they lived, formed a Chinatown community with China cultural characteristics, and cultivated a Chinatown economic model. Various overseas Chinese organizations came into being, fighting for rights and interests, running newspapers, setting up schools, performing Cantonese opera and dragon boat races ..... inheriting and carrying forward national culture, and making indelible contributions to promoting the economic and political development and the formation of multicultural structure in the host country.
After the outbreak of World War II, the vast number of overseas Chinese youths enthusiastically joined the army, ushered in the victory of anti-fascism with the people of other countries, and won the legal rights for overseas Chinese to start businesses overseas.
In addition, there are many passports of overseas Chinese from different countries in different periods in Wuyi Overseas Chinese Museum, as well as flight advertisements posted by towns around the world, all of which show that going abroad was a common phenomenon for overseas Chinese at that time. Many overseas Chinese have contributed to the local economic development with their blood, sweat and lives in South America, but they have become victims themselves.
I can't help cheering for their feat: you are the best, you are really great! I came to the third stop with admiration in my heart.
The third hall, Loyalty and Righteousness, mainly tells that overseas Chinese have cared about the fate of the motherland and the nation since modern times, and even directly participated in China's political activities, hoping to help reform China society, realize national independence and lay the foundation for building a modern country.
Overseas Chinese in Wuyi are attached to the motherland, and actively participated in the Revolution of 1911, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and other major historical events to save the nation from peril. Some overseas Chinese directly participated in the revolution and the cause of resisting the enemy, while most overseas Chinese gave generously and even lost everything to help save the country. Among the overseas Chinese in Wuyi, a large number of patriotic overseas Chinese emerged, such as Situ Meitang, Feng Ru, Deng, Li, Huang Sande and Zheng Chaojiong.
After loyalty and righteousness, they affirmed the status and value of overseas Chinese in modern China, and also wrote a new chapter in modern China, paving the way for the future of China. I have been walking with admiration. ...
The fourth hall is The Rise of Hometown of Overseas Chinese, which mainly tells that during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, remittances were the main economic pillar of overseas Chinese and the lifeline of overseas Chinese development in Wuyi.
Overseas Chinese in Wuyi gather sand and make a tower, and many a mickle makes a mickle, and actively set up public welfare and investment industries in their hometown. Advocating schools to cultivate talents, publishing magazines to enlighten people's wisdom, running libraries to talk with people and educate people, building hospitals to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, building bridges and roads to facilitate transportation, opening market towns to circulate trade, and helping the poor to show the affection of mulberry. Establish joint-stock enterprises, promote rural autonomy, absorb western civilization and show an inclusive and open mind.
Five Pavilions is a new chapter in Wuyi, which mainly tells about the implementation and innovation of reform and opening up and overseas Chinese policy since the end of 1970s, and promotes the new changes of overseas Chinese in Wuyi.
A new wave of international migration has arisen in Wuyi hometown of overseas Chinese. A steady stream of new immigrants has injected great vitality into overseas traditional immigrants and expanded the distribution of overseas Wuyi immigrants.
Range. The overseas villagers in Wuyi inherited the excellent tradition of the hometown of overseas Chinese and formed a close relationship with the hometown of overseas Chinese beyond the past: charity focuses on teaching and promoting learning, helping the poor and helping the poor, and promoting the harmonious development of the society in the hometown of overseas Chinese; The scope, level and quantity of industrial investment have all reached record highs; Seeking the roots and continuing the relationship has increased the blood and cultural affection of overseas Wuyi descendants. Overseas Chinese in Wuyi and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have become the new force to build a civilized and prosperous Xinqiao Township, and they have been praised and praised by the people in the hometown of overseas Chinese.
In this regard, I can't help but sigh that the great achievements made by overseas Chinese in Wuyi have laid a solid foundation for China's reform and opening up. With a sigh, we came to the sixth stop.
The sixth hall is the light of China. It mainly tells the story of Jiangmen Wuyi's profound historical and cultural fertile soil and the glorious history of overseas Chinese, which gave birth to generations of overseas Chinese, from which groups of overseas Chinese leaders, industrialists, social activists, scientists, educators, artists, philanthropists and colorful stars emerged. On them, the tradition and spirit of Wuyi people's patriotism, love for their hometown, pioneering, hard-working, openness and compatibility, love for literary goodness and civilization and progress are condensed, and they are admired by the world. Their outstanding contributions in their respective fields have promoted the historical, cultural, political, economic and social progress of the country, the nation and even the world, and have shone brilliantly in history.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen once said: "Overseas Chinese are the mother of revolution", which is a true portrayal of the flesh-and-blood relationship between overseas Chinese in Wuyi and the revolution in China.
I sincerely hope that overseas Chinese can continue to repay the motherland, let China stand tall among the nations of the world and let China continue to shine.
Review of Overseas Chinese Museum (Ⅲ): Review of Jiangmen Wuyi Overseas Chinese Museum
On Saturday morning, according to the requirements of the school, the whole class visited Jiangmen Wuyi Overseas Chinese Museum. Starting from the north gate of the school, the students laughed and laughed all the way. Soon, we came to the main entrance of Wuyi Overseas Chinese Square, and stood quietly at Jiangmen Wuyi Overseas Chinese Museum on the right, as if waiting for our arrival. I think, what surprises will this ugly building bring us?
With questions, we stepped into the door of the museum. The first thing you see is the words "rooted in Wuyi" on the wall and the map of Jiangmen city. Yes, no matter where a person is or how far away from home, his roots will always be in his hometown. Because the soil and water in my hometown have nurtured us and the culture in my hometown has nurtured us ... These simple words tell us that overseas Chinese in Jiangmen have their roots here and their love for this land is deep.
Then we entered the first part of the museum, "Looking for Dreams in Jinshan". There are blacksmiths, cloth shops, sunflower leaf processing shops, and 19 century town scenery. It can be seen that people at that time lived in poverty and backwardness, which also laid the groundwork for their dream of crossing the ocean to find gold diggers to make a fortune. Compared with staying in backward hometown, more young people tend to go abroad to dig gold mines. They hope to change their destiny through hard work and stop being poor. So a large number of young adults immigrated to Southeast Asia, North America and other places, becoming the main pioneers of labor-based plantations and other labor-based industries at that time. Tin mines, gold rush valleys, railway sites, canal sites and plantations are full of overseas Chinese. The vast number of Chinese workers have paid countless sweat and made great contributions to the construction of the capital country. However, the hard-working quality of Chinese workers has been exchanged for the Chinese exclusion policy. Overseas Chinese are treated inhumanely and unequally in foreign countries. This is the attitude of the so-called free and democratic capital countries towards the people of backward countries. If you fall behind, you will be beaten and treated coldly. Look at the tools and lifelike sculptures they use in the booth. I deeply felt their helplessness and oppression, which made me feel that today's happy life was hard-won. In contrast, I also feel that our country is rising. At the same time, I applaud the overseas Chinese for their courage to pursue their ideals constantly, and feel great respect for their spirit of self-improvement and fearlessness.
After clearing our minds, let's look at the second part-overseas entrepreneurship. Many overseas Chinese work hard in the countries and regions where they live, give full play to their intelligence and make arduous pioneering efforts. Gradually formed a Chinatown with China cultural characteristics, and opened up a new economic model of Chinatown. With the continuous development of various overseas Chinese organizations, the status of Chinese people has been continuously improved and their influence has been increasing. They have made indelible contributions to the multicultural structure of China and the promotion of national cultures, and won legal rights for overseas Chinese to start businesses overseas. Looking at the various forms of passports and flight advertisements collected by the Overseas Chinese Museum in different periods and countries ... From the yellowed paper and neat handwriting, I seem to see their busy figures for life. Thanks for their contribution to the cultural communication in China, we should not forget their contribution to the rise of China.
According to the instructions, we moved on and came to the third part-loyal heart. This is about overseas Chinese always paying attention to the future and destiny of the motherland and the nation and actively participating in the construction of the motherland, hoping to help transform China society, realize national independence and lay the foundation for building a modern country. Overseas Chinese in Wuyi are overseas, but their hearts are connected with the motherland. In the great historical events such as the Revolution of 1911 and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, they shouldered the mission of saving the nation from extinction. Some directly participated in the revolution and the cause of resisting the enemy, while others donated money to help save the country. In the center of the exhibition hall, a huge plane symbolizes the great energy and painstaking efforts made by overseas Chinese in the hope of revitalizing the country. A large number of patriotic overseas Chinese, such as Chen Shaobai and Feng Ru, have emerged among the overseas Chinese in Wuyi. After loyalty, he affirmed the status and value of overseas Chinese in modern China, and also wrote a new chapter in modern China. At this point, my heart is full of incomparable admiration.
Move on and enter the fourth part-the rise of the hometown of overseas Chinese. Here, it shows a new look of the hometown of overseas Chinese. At that time, some advanced tools and technologies were introduced into Wuyi area, which brought convenience to people's lives. It also changed people's way of life. Overseas Chinese in Wuyi unite as one, and Qi Xin works together to actively set up public welfare and investment industries in their hometown. Running schools, running newspapers, building bridges and paving the way ... they have made indelible contributions to the construction of their hometown.
While we are still immersed in the great achievements of overseas Chinese. Unconsciously, I came to the fifth chapter-Wuyi new chapter, where I learned that from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of reform and opening up, the continuous innovation and implementation of overseas Chinese policies brought new changes to the overseas Chinese, which set off a new wave of international immigrants and expanded the distribution of overseas Wuyi immigrants. Overseas villagers in Wuyi inherited the excellent tradition of hometown of overseas Chinese and formed a close relationship with overseas Chinese beyond the past: focusing on education to promote learning, helping the poor and helping the poor, and helping doctors to promote overseas Chinese in charity. The scope, level and quantity of industrial investment have all reached record highs; Seeking the roots and continuing the relationship has increased the blood and cultural affection of overseas Wuyi descendants. Overseas Chinese in Wuyi and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have become the new force to build a civilized and prosperous Xinqiao Township, and they have been praised and praised by the people in the hometown of overseas Chinese. Their great achievements have laid a solid foundation for China's reform and opening up. At this time, my heart is full of incomparable sighs!
Finally, I entered the sixth part-Light of Chinese. This part tells the story of Wuyi in Jiangmen, which has a long history and rich cultural soil and has nurtured countless overseas Chinese. A group of overseas Chinese leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, philanthropists, etc. Their outstanding traditional cultural spirit of patriotism, pioneering and struggling, civilization and progress, openness and compatibility is proud and admired by the people of China. Their contributions in various fields have promoted the progress of world history and civilization, harmoniously burning the flames of Chinese descendants and illuminating the whole world.
After our visit, I couldn't calm down for a long time. Everything in the museum is the epitome of that eventful time, a heavy memory. Overseas Chinese have paid too much time, sweat and even life for our beautiful life today. They are making selfless contributions to their hometown. Just because they are rooted in China and Wuyi, I am full of high respect for overseas Chinese. In the future, I will support the construction of my hometown like them and repay the kindness of the people in my hometown. For a better tomorrow, we must study hard now. Let's hold our heads high together and create a better tomorrow.
