Many years ago,
After Premier Zhou's speech,
He lost his Chinese nationality forever.
But for the sake of the fundamental affairs of the Chinese nation,
He stood up against all odds,
ruined the conspiracy of the British,
It is praised by the world as: the soul of the Chinese nation!
His name is Lin Lianyu.
1901,
He was born in Yongchun County, Fujian Province,
Barren country, cold Confucian family,
At the time of great changes unseen in China for a thousand years,
Seeing the family fall in the middle of the road,
His father wanted him to abandon his studies and go into business.
Find another way to survive in this vast world.
But in Lin Lianyu's bones,
It's hard to change your thirst for knowledge.
I heard that the patriotic overseas Chinese Chen Jiageng,
Establishment of Jimei School,
He went to school against all odds.
At the age of 20, with record-breaking results,
Stay in school to teach after graduation,
It's a pity that the days of stability are only a few years,
civil war strife,
Affecting the pure land of education,
Jimei School was ordered to close.
Lin Lianyu, who has always "loved the revolution and struggle",
had to travel far away from a foreign land.
He first went to teach in overseas Chinese schools in Indonesia.
But the local situation is also very complicated.
Overseas Chinese are often persecuted by the authorities,
Coupled with the ferocity of the indigenous people,
Very unfriendly to overseas Chinese,
Contacting overseas Chinese who have repeatedly resisted injustice,
It is regarded as a "thorn in the side" by the locals.
In 1935, for the sake of his personal safety,
An old friend invited him,
Went to teach at Zun Confucius High School in Malaysia,
This goes,
He is the most magnificent,
is also the most dangerous life,
It's been lifted!
then
Malaysia is also a British colony,
Many overseas Chinese who fled the country gathered together.
They survive in a foreign land,
Faced with all kinds of tribulations,
But the only constant is that
It is to never forget that I am Chinese.
They run schools,
Teaching Chinese, teaching poetry, speaking Chinese,
What is the situation, what is the identity,
Immortal root, perennial root.
In 1937, the Japanese army invaded China in an all-round way.
Tan Kah Kee led the "Nanqiao General Association",
Lin Lianyu took the overseas Chinese in Malaysia,
Get involved,
In the case of their own survival,
He organized a lot of fundraisers,
Sending a lot of money and goods to the country,
It accounts for two-thirds of the world's Chinese donations.
Domestic thank-you speech,
Since the Anti-Japanese War,
Overseas Chinese have contributed a lot of money and efforts.
The victory of the Chinese nation in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,
The rise of the Chinese nation's rebirth,
It is made up of all Chinese people in the world.
Among the seventy-two martyrs of Huanghuagang,
Twenty-nine of them are overseas Chinese!
Later, in the team of aviation to save the country,
Three-quarters of young people,
It's all overseas Chinese!
Overseas Chinese are so concerned about their homeland,
Throwing his head and spilling blood,
Because of the education they received from childhood,
That is, do not forget your home and country, no matter where you are,
Keep in mind the lineage.
The Japanese army was angry at the unity of the overseas Chinese,
Determined to take revenge.
In 1941, the Pacific War broke out.
At this moment, Lin Lianyu is a scholar,
Pick up the knife and gun, and go to the battlefield.
He joined the Kuala Lumpur Wartime Ambulance Brigade,
On the eve of the fall of Singapore,
It was he who risked his life to go to dangerous areas,
Inform Tan Kah Kee to evacuate and transfer as soon as possible,
to protect this patriotic overseas Chinese from danger.
In Malaysia,
Lin Lianyu fought with the Japanese army many times,
Wounded in multiple places,
I almost lost my life.
afterward
Injured by shrapnel and had to take refuge in the mountains and forests,
Raising pigs for a living.
In 1945, Japan was defeated and surrendered,
But Lin Lianyu returned to the city of peace,
But my heart sank to the bottom.
The Zun Confucian Middle School of overseas Chinese was destroyed by the war.
Countless young Chinese teachers,
Brutally killed by the Japanese army.
Surviving Chinese children,
or be forced to accept the Japanese slavery education,
Or live on the streets and become a rooster and dog thief.
The surviving overseas Chinese are extremely worried:
Could it be that the Chinese educational heritage,
To end at the hands of your own generation?!
Loss of the Chinese language, loss of culture,
It means that the nation has lost its roots,
Lin Lianyu knows,
What all this means for overseas compatriots,
He stood up resolutely,
Raise the banner of resuming schools:
Descendants of the Chinese nation,
How can you speak a foreign language and make a living!
He sold his pigs,
Invest all your possessions,
Raise funds for the construction of the school,
Do your best in the midst of the devastation.
He has a pair of legs,
Traveled all over the land of Malaysia,
Just to find a suitable school site.
His hands,
Build a brick and a tile, add a table and a chair,
Until Chinese schools in Malaysia,
Finally rising from the ruins,
The flower of the soul of Chinese education,
In the burned wasteland,
Re-rooted!
Children have schools to go to, books to read,
Chinese culture has been inherited,
And he was exhausted and unusually emaciated,
窘迫到妻子重病都无钱医治。
Such a faithful man,
How tenacious and strong his national heart is!
It's just such persistence,
He paid too much for him......
After the victory of the war, the Japanese were driven away,
But the British colonists are back!
In order to control Malaysia in all aspects,
The British secretly carried out a
The conspiracy called the "Torch Project",
The intention is to destroy the Chinese school,
Do not let overseas Chinese learn Chinese,
All of them can only be learned in English.
extinguishing Chinese,
It is equivalent to destroying the roots of overseas Chinese in Malaysia!
Lin Lianyu stepped forward again,
He wrote an article in the newspaper calling on all overseas Chinese:
"There is absolutely no way we can allow it,
This kind of thing has happened to destroy the foundation of the nation!"
Everyone knows it,
How much has Lin Lianyu paid for the overseas Chinese school,
He who bears the fire for all,
Do not let him drown in the wind and snow,
He was elected as,
President of the Malaysian Chinese School Church,
All around him,
Insist that your child go to Chinese school.
All the local overseas Chinese are united,
Condensed into a terrifying force.
Lin Lianyu is also in the name of the chairman of the Chinese school church,
to apply to Malaysia,
Request for Mandarin to be listed as one of the official languages,
and enlisted the support of the United Nations.
With all their efforts,
Britain has run out of options,
The conspiracy of the "Torch Project",
It was completely destroyed by Lin Lianyu.
However, a wave has just flattened and a wave has risen,
An even bigger storm is coming,
This time
Lin Lianyu lost almost everything.
1955,
New China is faced with a difficult choice,
Many overseas Chinese are concerned about China,
residing overseas,
but refused to give up his Chinese nationality,
It is formed to have dual citizenship in hand.
Dual citizenship brings a lot of problems,
For example, Southeast Asian countries where overseas Chinese are concentrated,
They doubted the loyalty and effectiveness of the overseas Chinese,
And the Western countries,
Accusing overseas Chinese with Chinese nationality,
Is it another echelon.
New China is very difficult,
If this matter is not properly resolved in a timely manner,
can not be guaranteed,
The security and legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese in the host country.
In this case,
New China made a decision,
Premier Zhou announced:
China no longer recognizes dual nationality,
Encourage overseas Chinese,
voluntary naturalization of the nationality of the host country,
Revoke the nationality of Chinese naturalized in another country.
At this point,
Lim Lian Yu, who is already a Malaysian citizen,
Naturally, he lost his Chinese nationality.
Although from now on learn to say with tears in your eyes:
"My nationality is ......"
It's not China anymore!
But
Lin Lianyu still maintains her love for China,
Because he understands,
This is the new China in order to protect them.
In addition, Premier Zhou also said,
Overseas Chinese take root in their places of residence,
Don't forget about mother tongue education and Chinese culture,
Because we are always relatives,
China will always be your hometown, your mother's home,
Welcome back to your home often.
1963,
Malaysia declared independence from colonization,
The first knife can be independent,
"Chopped" the Chinese school.
Malaysia issued a declaration,
exterminate other schools in foreign dialects,
The Malay language is practiced by the whole people,
Chinese School,
It will also be turned into a Malay language school.
Looking at Chinese education,
In the local area once again to the threshold of extermination,
Lin Lianyu did everything he could,
It is necessary to keep the spark of this national culture.
While he was dealing with the local government,
Calling for the development of a fair national education policy,
And take the lead in making a manifesto:
We Chinese enter Malaysia,
To be a national of Malaysia,
It is on the condition of fulfilling obligations and serving loyalty,
It is not conditional on abandoning the mother tongue and destroying the culture.
On the one hand, we will strive for support for all overseas Chinese:
"Our culture,
is the soul of our nation,
Our educational institutions,
It is the cultural fortress of our nation. ”
"The culture is gone,
It's all gone,
Look at the Chinese in some other countries,
into Yi from Yi, and now in addition to appearance,
Where are they still the same as the Chinese?
Abandoned the national culture,
We've lost our bloodline!"
Shoot the first bird,
He was threatened with the cancellation of the school allowance,
Lin Lianyu said:
"Learning Xi of the mother tongue is the right of every people,
Even if you don't want a penny of subsidies,
We're also going to run independent schools.
Adhere to Chinese education,
to our sense of national identity, sense of belonging,
In the pursuit of national freedom and equality,
Crucial. ”
He fought again and again,
The authorities began to blackmail him with citizenship,
"As long as you don't make a sound,
There will be no problem with citizenship. ”
他却反驳道:
"What's the use of citizenship if you don't let me speak out".
He was also asked:
"Whatever you personally want, just ask. ”
He replied, "I personally have no needs,
What I am asking for is the rights of the nation".
At his insistence,
More and more Chinese,
Join this uncompromising team,
In the end they won,
Chinese education saved!
The cultural heritage has been preserved!
But
"stubborn thorns" like him,
They won't let him go.
His teaching credentials were revoked,
This is tantamount to smashing his job,
And then he was deprived of his citizenship,
This is the most basic right of human beings.
They want him not to live......
He didn't work in those years,
Life is difficult, hunger and misery disappear,
Later, he was sick,
But why are his bones so hard?
No matter how devastated,
I just won't bow my head!
He said:
"My personal interests have long been put aside,
Never regret sacrificing for Chinese education!"
He paid a terrible price,
suffered a heavy blow,
But it has also achieved outstanding national causes!
Under the rush of his best efforts,
Local Chinese set up Chinese primary schools,
and independent secondary schools,
and even founded,
"Malaysia-wide Unified Examination for Independent Secondary Schools",
Recognized by universities around the world.
now
They have the ability to have
The world's most complete Chinese education!
Under his protection regardless of life and death,
Chinese culture has been inherited,
now
Every Chinese child in Malaysia,
can all speak Chinese,
They all know that they are the descendants of Yan and Huang,
They are the most united group in Malaysia.
Unfortunately, he didn't get to see it all,
In 1985, Lin Lianyu passed away,
Tens of thousands of Chinese in Malaysia poured into the streets,
Give him one last ride.
The overseas Chinese community said: "Mr. Lin's death,
It is all Chinese regardless of class,
Regardless of occupation, regardless of the sorrow of young and old. ”
The local Chinese praised him as: the soul of the clan.
Cultural identity is more important than nationality identity,
Landing is overseas,
The sound of the waves is still the hometown.
From his birth to his death,
His love for China has always been unwavering.
He is a hero who does great things for the nation,
He was the one who made history,
Protect the bloodline of our clan, protect the inheritance of our clan,
Fight for the rights and interests of the Chinese education sector and the nation,
At the expense of the sea of fire on the mountain of swords,
He fulfilled his ideal,
He lived up to his national righteousness.
Swinging an iron fist and wearing dragon armor,
Fight the tiger with empty fists!
Because there are such heroes,
Fellow expatriate,
did not become a person who lost his roots.
They are in a foreign land, and their hearts have a homeland,
The first batch of supplies to enter Wuhan in 2020,
It was sent by overseas Chinese.
LIN Lianyu,
Guarding the inheritance of our clan is like a thousand pounds,
On that difficult road,
Walk one foot deep and one foot shallow,
His hobbling figure,
It is a history of Chinese education,
The Great Silent Revolution.
Because there are people like him,
Thousands of people with lofty ideals,
The bloodline of the Chinese nation can be inherited endlessly,
Such a great Chinese hero,
It is an eternal monument engraved in history!
