[Inscription]: On October 13, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Shantou Overseas Chinese Cultural Relics Museum and emphatically pointed out: "The 'Overseas Chinese Batch' records the difficult entrepreneurial history and strong feelings of home and country of the older generation of overseas Chinese, and is also an important embodiment of the Chinese nation's credibility and commitment.

In life, people often hang "I am not scared", but there are really some people who never say so, because he is really "Xiamen University", that is, Mr. Chen Jiageng, a famous patriotic overseas Chinese leader who founded Xiamen University.

A letter from Mr. Chen Jiageng from overseas Chinese

The mention of Mr. Chen Jiageng, the patriotic leader of overseas Chinese, made me unexpectedly understand a letter from Mr. Chen Jiageng (that is, the overseas Chinese approval, which is the collective name of the letters and remittances sent by overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese to the relatives of overseas Chinese in China), and also opened a long-hidden and unknown family history. The letter from Mr. Chen Jiageng to my wife's grandfathers Lin Yukuan and Chen Meizhu was a letter. Unfortunately, during the "Cultural Revolution," this letter was lost after my wife's grandfather had a history of overseas Chinese, and was identified as a "bourgeoisie" who was tragically criticized and raided his home (during the reform period, he formed a deep friendship with Du Langxing, a retired correctional cadre in quanzhou prison). According to the recollections of relatives, the letter was a long envelope sent by Malaysia, and Mr. Chan Kah Kee personally wrote the payment. The content of the overseas Chinese approval is to the effect: Thank you to my wife's grandfather, who had returned to overseas Chinese at that time, for actively running for the cause of the national revolution and for his enthusiastic donation of funds and materials for the construction and development of Xiamen University! In the envelope of the overseas Chinese batch, another "Chen Jiageng Shuzhi Poem" was given:

Leading the southern overseas Chinese to donate money to resist the enemy, the venue encouraged the thieves. Newspapers were circulating frequently at home and abroad, and the enemy hated me the hardest. The puppet of peace sprouted, and the first admonition not to be confused. The traitor seeks glory and sweetness, and teleports to participate in politics and attack rebellion. The strong enemy invaded The Star Island fell to the south, and the family scattered and feared. Java has been in hiding for two years, and it is difficult to keep the secret of the sneak. When it is unfortunate to be captured, to die without a faceless enemy. The return inspection is public and private, and there is no trace of guilt and innocence. If the evil spirit is determined, the destiny of heaven is fearful and beneficial.

It is understood that when my wife's grandfather went to Nanyang in his early years, after some hard work and hard work, he set up commercial houses and theaters in Malaysia and Singapore, which can also be regarded as a teenager! On July 7, 1937, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, the domestic Anti-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, and the anti-Japanese struggle in Southeast Asia surged up. At that time, due to the changes in the revolutionary situation, Mr. Chen Jiageng temporarily took refuge in the home of my wife's grandfather in Nanyang, who was only one street away from the local Area of the Japanese garrison, and he and Mr. Chen Jiageng, who was born in 1910, became friends at the time of the crucifixion, thus forming a deep revolutionary friendship! Later, deeply influenced by his patriotic revolutionary spirit, he actively responded to Mr. Chen Jiageng's call to "organize millions of overseas Chinese and revive the heart of China", and established the "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association for The Relief of The Motherland" in Singapore on October 10, 1938, for Mr. Chen Jiageng, and vigorously ran and assisted in mobilizing the local overseas Chinese community to donate funds and materials (at that time, the people who donated money and materials were not all rich businessmen, but also small merchants and peddlers who generously donated money).

Before liberation, my wife's grandparents returned from Malaysia and Singapore due to work needs, and successively had eight sons and three daughters (married to Hong Kong) and countless descendants. Before they return to overseas Chinese, they sell all their assets. After returning to his hometown, he was deeply influenced by the spirit of Chen Jiageng, and enthusiastically donated funds for education, renovated the village-run primary school building and created a kindergarten. Not only did he donate money to the education development of his hometown, but he also mobilized his fellow villagers and overseas Chinese to donate money to fund education. In December 1988, he was awarded the honorary title and plaque commendation of "Leyu Talents" by Quanzhou Municipal People's Government. Later, the family took this plaque as a glory, which can be described as: the glorious doorway and the blessed land, and the scholars' homes pass on Fanghan! This greatly encourages future generations to study hard, and many descendants of the family have been admitted to the prestigious universities of The University of Hong Kong, the Australian University, jimei University, the China Hohai University and the National Huaqiao University graduate students, as well as the national prosecutor...

The letters approved by overseas Chinese are not only "cross-country books" between overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese and the homeland of the motherland, but also "haibang leftovers" that record rich information of the times.
