The criticism of an overseas Chinese is a story. Among them, a father named a child who was born but never met; The son greets his elderly parents; A father demanded the redemption of his sold daughter; Parents angrily encouraged their son to study (approve); There are also relatives of overseas Chinese in China who are looking forward to their children's early return, or miss their relatives abroad and are eager to see Lacrimosa all day long (reply).
The critical letters of overseas Chinese have soaked the blood, tears and sweat of overseas Chinese, which contains their deep affection for their motherland, hometown and relatives, and shows their sense of responsibility for their hometown and their own flesh and blood. The overseas Chinese spirit of "loving the motherland, loving hometown, working hard, being brave in pioneering and being sincere and trustworthy" embodied by overseas Chinese criticism can be said to be the inheritance and development of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. Therefore, overseas Chinese criticism is regarded as "Dunhuang literature" of overseas Chinese history and culture, which deserves our further attention and in-depth study.
Researchers in Fujian, Guangdong, Qionghai and other places who are interested in showing the patriotic spirit of overseas Chinese and carrying forward the critical culture of overseas Chinese are working hard to explore the physical documents criticized by overseas Chinese, and actively declare them as national archives heritage, and then declare them as world memory heritage.
