In 1952, Huang Huiying took her 6-year-old daughter Yang Huizhen to take a seven-day and seven-night cruise ship, arrived in Guangzhou, landed, and returned to Youhua Village, Liuwang Town, Rong County, Yulin City, Guangxi, who had been parting for nearly 10 years.
She heard that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation had ended, that the country was implementing land reform, and that every family had been allocated land, so she sold her property in Malaysia, a log cabin, and resolutely returned to her motherland.

In 1932, Huang Huiying's lover Yang Guangchang came to Malaysia with a group of compatriots to engage in logging hard work in order to avoid the Kuomintang's "capture of Zhuangding".
At that time, the "Tang people" who traveled to Malaysia from Rong County, Guangxi, mainly made a living by clearing barren mountains to grow tobacco. After cutting down all the trees as thick as the diameter of the large cylinder mouth, and opening up a slope plot, you can grow tobacco in pieces.
Each of the "Chinese" engaged in local tobacco cultivation can enjoy 30 kilograms of rice staple food and about three kilograms of candy and biscuits and other side foods provided by the local government every month, and the problem of food and clothing can be completely solved. Moreover, the grain distributed in the current month is taken away in the same month, and the price of the grain supplied is symbolic and extremely low. The government's intention is very obvious, so that these "pioneer cattle" have the healthy body to engage in the hard work of reclaiming land and growing tobacco that brings them huge profits.

After her husband Yang Guangchang found a foothold, he wrote to Wong Wai Ying about the "good news" that Malaysia guaranteed to supply side foods such as rice and biscuits. So Wong Wai Ying then set foot on Malaysian soil with a group of rural neighbors.
Malaysia is located near the equator, and the geographical environment of tropical rainforest climate and tropical monsoon climate determines that the temperature difference throughout the year is extremely small. The average temperature is between 22 ° C and 30 ° C all year round, and the sun is particularly strong at noon, generally before 9 a.m., tobacco farmers have to complete watering, fertilization and other farm work in the field, after 9 o'clock, most of them have finished work and went home to rest.
Local schools are taught in English, and tuition fees are relatively high, so ordinary children of overseas Chinese are afraid to attend primary school in local schools.
When Yang Huizhen was 6 years old, her father Yang Guangchang was accidentally injured by a tree that suddenly fell during a logging trip, and the rescue was ineffective.
At this time, her mother heard that New China was undergoing vigorous land reform, and every family could be allocated land and could support themselves, so she sold her cabin in Malaysia and bought a ticket to return home.

Back in her hometown of Youhua Village, Liuwang Town, Rong County, Yulin City, Guangxi, Huang Huiying deposited 5,000 yuan from Malaysia into the Youhua Village Credit Cooperative, which had an account balance of no more than 10 yuan at that time.
This money actually became the first "huge" deposit received by Youhuacun Credit Union since its establishment.
Not long after the founding of the Republic, the problem of food and clothing for farmers has not yet been solved, and credit cooperatives are busy with how to absorb a little deposit as working capital.
The money that Huang Huiying deposited became earth-shattering good news for peasant friends who had a maximum loan of 10 yuan at that time, and most of them borrowed two or three yuan.
The young Yang Huizhen then relied on the interest on this deposit to complete elementary school, junior high school and high school.
