The Chinese domestic game "Black Myth: Wukong", which was launched some time ago, became popular all over the Internet, and was even recognized by Lee Hsien Loong.
Singapore's Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in a fireside chat at the FutureChina Global Forum yesterday (18 October) that allowing Singapore students to play games like Black Myth: Wukong will help them learn Chinese and absorb Chinese culture.

Lee Hsien Loong said that learning Mandarin is not only for the language itself, but also for children to understand the rich Chinese tradition and cultural connotation. This would be the most desirable outcome if students became interested in the Journey to the West movie or Wu Chengen's work after playing the game.

He emphasised that encouraging students to learn Mandarin and its culture in a light-hearted way would achieve more results with half the effort. However, parents are also reminded to pay attention to the need to limit playtime to avoid addiction.
In fact, this is not the first time that Lee Hsien Loong has emphasized the importance of culture in public. He believes that Singapore will not only focus on economic development, but also on the promotion of culture.
Not only should the Chinese not lose their roots in Chinese culture, but all ethnic groups should understand their own culture, promote their own cultural traditions, and give full play to the spiritual characteristics of Singapore.
While education is the best way to learn culture, we should not limit learning to coping with exams. Playing games like Black Myth: Wukong is also an easy and fun way to learn.
Gradually let go of the identity and gradually step down from the naked retreat
In this conversation, the moderator asked whether retirement will become easier, and Lee Hsien Loong said: "I don't think it's easy, but the burden is a little lighter." ”
Lee Hsien Loong explained that the prime minister needs to react quickly when an incident occurs and make a final decision; This is not the case for senior ministers, who simply participate in discussions and provide advice to assist the Cabinet in dealing with issues. After stepping down as prime minister in May this year, his role shifted to providing advice to the cabinet, and he believed that his influence would gradually wane, saying that "it should be more and more naked to retire".
Lee Hsien Loong pointed out that the current problems facing Singapore are often not sudden, but gradually formed over a certain period of time and historical background. He also stressed that the new challenges and opportunities in the future should be addressed by the new leadership, and he will gradually fade out. While not quite at this stage yet, he looks forward to gradually reducing his involvement.
