The weather in July is always cloudy
The wind blows, the rain falls
It's all about parting with sorrow
When thoughts become a sea
Love is like a flower
Malacca
Malaysia
When parting, the ignorant teenager
"Is the weather good over there?"
Maybe it's the best confession
Love you in the weather in Malaysia, Niu
In 2006, Malaysian music talent Ah Niu included a song called "Love You with Malaysian Weather" in his album "Peach Blossoms Bloom".
It turns out that when love comes, even the weather becomes sentimental.
Compared with this song, the Malaysian folk song sung with the child's immature voice as the prelude is more famous, and it is "Rasa Sayang", which is regarded as one of the symbols of Malaysian culture.
在马来西亚长大的孩子都不会对这首歌感到陌生。 As soon as the prelude sounds, everyone will clap their hands and sing "Rasa sayang hey!" Affection dear hey......"
Mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of friendly diplomatic relations between China and Maldives.
Over the past half century,
China-Malaysia relations have been moving forward through the waves.
Cultural exchange is even more blossoming.
This issue of the New Folk Song Conference entered Malaysia

When Malaysian big red flower
Complement Chinese jasmine
The weather in Malaysia is sunny.
Mention Malaysia,
Many people think of the vast blue sea
Delicate golden sand
Mouth-watering durian
Countless islands and a variety of pristine landscapes......

But when Ah Niu and Wong Ying sit on the deck of the Malacca Maritime Museum, wander among the rows of shops on Jonker Street, and sing in front of the flower-filled Red Houses, you'll find that there's so much more to Malaysia than meets the eye. It turns out that Malacca also carries such a thick history.
It was founded in 1403 and was once the capital of the Kingdom of Malacca. Since the 16th century, Malacca has become a colony of Portugal, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and for more than 600 years, Malacca has witnessed the tense dialogue between many civilizations of the East and the West, and condensed the past and present of the whole Malaysia. This has also led to a diverse and inclusive culture in Malacca, as well as a wide variety of attractions, relics and cuisines.
A must-visit place in Malacca

Jonker Street
Jonker Street is the busiest street in the heart of Malacca and is a cultural and shopping hotspot in Malacca.
It is a historic Chinatown with many unique shops and restaurants. It's perfect for a night out. On weekend nights, Jonker Street is closed to motorized traffic, and the narrow old streets are lined with all kinds of stalls, eating, drinking, and wearing goods that make people dizzy.

Malacca River
The Malacca River runs through the city and into the sea. At that time, all the trade goods in Malacca relied on the river and its banks for transportation, loading and unloading, storage and diversion, and you can imagine how busy and prosperous the Malacca River and its banks would have been.
It was not until 2000 that the local government completely banned the transportation and trade of goods in the river, officially ending its more than 600 years of trade activities and gradually transforming the Malacca River into a recreational and sightseeing channel.

Chinese memories in Malacca
Malacca is also an exotic place name that can evoke the historical memory of Chinese.
During the Han Dynasty and the Tang and Song dynasties, there were frequent commercial activities and cultural exchanges between China and the Malay Archipelago.
There are also clear records of Chinese settling in the area during the Yuan Dynasty.
Ma Huan's record of Malacca in "Yingya Triumph".
Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty made seven trips to the West and stopped here many times.
The sea route between China and Malaysia has never been cut off for thousands of years......
Countless Chinese ancestors have crossed the ocean from Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other places in China to this strange land.
Here, Chinese culture has become an important part of Malaysia's diverse culture with its rich historical heritage and unique charm.

Baba Nyonya Ancestral House Museum
Many years ago, the TV series "Little Nyonya" set off a craze in China, and it also aroused the curiosity and concern of the Chinese people about the Baba Nyonya ethnic group. Baba Nyonya is also known as overseas Chinese students, Baba means male and Nyonya means female. Baba Nyonya is the descendant of intermarriage between Chinese and Southeast Asian natives who went to the South Seas after Zheng He went to the West in the Ming Dynasty.
Baba Nyonya Ancestral House
The Baba Nyonya Ancestral House is recognised as one of the World Heritage Sites. The ancestral house was owned by the Tsang Ching Xiu family in 1861 and consists of three terraced houses. Four generations of the Tsang family lived here until March 1985, when in order to give the world a deeper and more detailed understanding of Baba and Peranakan culture, the house was converted into a museum for outsiders to visit, study and research.
As the years go by, the friendship is strong. In 2012 and 2013, the China-Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park in Guangxi, China, and the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park in Pahang, Malaysia, were opened successively. The "two countries, two parks" model is an innovation and exploration of industrial integration between China and Malaysia in the joint construction of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. Over the past 10 years, the "Two Countries, Two Parks" cooperation model has blossomed and achieved fruitful results in project construction and innovation cooperation, adding a new footnote to the China-Malaysia friendship.
From a lonely sail to a thousand sails, between China and Malaysia, this thousand-year-long route allows the sparks of different civilizations to collide with bright flowers, weave a long scroll of the intersection and connection of the old and new maritime Silk Road, continue to tell a new story of China-Malaysia exchanges and cooperation, and depict a new picture of the construction of the "Belt and Road".
dark incense floating,
When the familiar melody of "Jasmine" sounds,
It's parting time again
