Chapter 192 192 Chinese Religious Leaders

Although Qi Yiming's arrival in Kuala Lumpur was uneventful on the surface, it secretly caused a great shock to the Chinese community in Malaysia. The news media, which has been controlled by the PLA, at best, said in a tofu-cube-sized page: Mr. Qi Jingren, a member of the CPC's Central Advisory Committee, has arrived in Kuala Lumpur. But as for what this Mr. Qi came to Malaysia for, he did not explain.

But the truly politically sensitive figures see the key at a glance. Because of the entry of the PLA, a considerable number of Malaysian Chinese have made up for the organizational structure of the CPC and various situations about China, and there is no doubt that although the members of the Central Advisory Committee look like ordinary people, they are actually very influential.

At this time, the significance behind the dispatch of a member of the Central Advisory Committee to Kuala Lumpur is self-evident. There are many people who want to know what China's plans for Malaysia are in the future, some who plan to speculate, some who think that the Malaysian government will return, so they hold their own and stay on the sidelines, and of course, there are a very small number of people who are very opposed to China's interference in Malaysia's internal affairs. At this time, if you want to get the most authentic and core information, you must find a way from this central official from China.

There is no need for people with ulterior motives to ask to see Qi Yiming, when Qi Yiming just got off the plane, he asked someone to distribute invitations to him everywhere, inviting some important people in the Chinese society to meet with him, and then let out the wind that he was going to hold a dinner party in the hotel three days later, and almost all the important characters he could think of were in attendance.

Qi Yiming's eyes are mainly focused on three parts, the political, business and academic circles of MCA society. These three parts complement each other to form almost the most influential organization in the Chinese community, penetrating into every corner of Chinese society. Somewhat unexpectedly, the first person Qi Yiming met was not a famous Chinese politician or a wealthy business leader, but a relevant person from Dong Jiaozong, that is, the promoters of Chinese education (Chinese education).

Dong Jiao Zong is the general name of the Federation of Directors of Chinese Schools in Malaysia (Dong Zong) and the General Association of Chinese School Teachers in Malaysia (General Education Association), which is the most important organization to promote Chinese education in Malaysia. It seems that the existence of the school alliance and the teachers' union should not be so respected and courteous by Qi Yiming, but Qi Yiming, who has done his homework well, knows how these two seemingly petite but actually behemoths will help him to implement his country-building strategy.

As we all know, there is no Chinese in the official language of Malaysia, and Chinese education is not valued by the government. The Malays, who are bent on naturalizing the Chinese, have gone to great lengths to restrict the development of Chinese schools, such as obstructing the construction of additional Chinese schools, delaying or even suspending the provision of funds and hardware and software facilities. To give a simple example, in the 90s, 21 percent of Chinese school-age children entered primary school. 07%, but the Ministry of Education allocated only 2% of the overall investment in primary education. 44%, this kind of seriously discriminatory and unbalanced policy naturally brings great challenges to the Chinese to receive their own cultural education and maintain their own traditions and culture.

The Malaysian government has repeatedly used despicable means to oppress the development of Chinese education, and until later generations, Chinese education in Malaysia still exists, relying on the general attention of the Chinese community, as well as the full support and leadership of Dong Jiaozong. Without Dong Jiao's struggle again and again, without the proper management of the administration and the appeal to the society for donations under extremely tight circumstances, it would have been impossible for the Chinese education in Malaysia to bloom into a moving flower in the cracks.

Qi Yiming does not consider the issue of utilitarianism, but the historical achievements made by Dong Jiaozong are worthy of his respect. The integrity and character of several representative figures of Dong Jiaozong are much more beautiful than those of political figures such as the MCA Association and some elites in the business world.

For example, Mr. Lin Lianyu, the father of the Chinese religion in Malaysia, who single-handedly promoted the establishment of Dong Jiao Zong, once said: "We must avoid sacrifice at the expense of sacrifice, and resist oppression by oppression, and then our nation can survive in Malaya before we can see the blue sky one day." ”

What Qi Yiming did today and Mr. Lin's famous words actually coincide.

At the temporary residence where Qi Yiming stayed, Qi Yiming met with the two chairmen of Dong Jiaozong, both of whom were influential figures in the Chinese community, Lin Huangsheng and Shen Muyu.

Even when the two old men saw a senior member of the Central Committee from China, they did not have the slightest intention of flattering and currying favor, but only maintained a reserved politeness, and it seemed that the style of a scholar and an educator was really much more valuable than the discipline of a politician.

The two old men of Huajiao are also somewhat surprised by the youth of the so-called Chinese officials, Qi Yiming is not young, but he is not old, no matter how he looks at it, he is less than thirty years old, but he has a calm and great bearing, the two old men who are used to wind and rain can naturally judge that this son is indeed not a thing in the pool, even if he may have a deep background, but it is impossible to climb to a high position without ability.

What also surprised the two old men was that this young Chinese official, whose status was obviously higher, actually served tea to the two of them in person, making enough gestures for the younger generations, and this kind of behavior also made Lin Huangsheng and Shen Muyu relax a little.

"First of all, for the efforts and contributions of the two and the two representatives of Dong Jiao Zong for my Chinese education, please let me express my 120,000 respect and admiration, my Chinese nation has lived in the world for 5,000 years, civilization has never been cut off since ancient times, the ancient civilization of the past, and I am the only Chinese family, relying on the two gentlemen who are so sages and virtues who are worried about our people and my civilization." Qi Yiming said it very sensationally, although this is a bit pretentious, and it is even more suspicious of sycophancy, but his achievements can be recognized, and they are also recognized by "outsiders", which is really something to be proud of.

Qi Yiming also buried a burden in these words, he emphasized a concept of "national identity", maybe you and I are not from the same country, but in any case we all speak the same words, write the same words, live the same festival, blood is connected, and the culture is the same, which can reduce their sense of rejection.

Shen Muyu shook his head and said without any credit: "If there is no old guy like us to do it, there will always be someone who will do it." It is not that we are great sages and virtuous people, but among the millions of compatriots, there are not a few who defend the rights of the clan and defend the culture. ”

Qi Yiming nodded and said, "Anyone who contributes to our national culture and inheritance is respectable. ”

Lin Huangsheng felt a little strange in his heart, it stands to reason that people from China should not be so keen on talking about national cultural things, in his impression, they should all be open-mouthed revolutionaries and closed-mouthed cleansing of Ma Jiao people, but this Chinese official surnamed Qi behaved very much like a traditional Chinese civil official, with a gentle and strong meaning.

Shen Muyu also thanked Qi Yiming and said: "This time the anti-Chinese riots are under control, and our Chinese are protected, and it is all thanks to the help of your country and your army, and I am here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of our Malaysian Chinese." ”

Speaking of this, Shen Muyu changed his words and said: "Although it seems a bit presumptuous and ungrateful to ask such a question, I still ask Mr. Qi to inform our Malaysian Chinese compatriots that the riot has been suppressed, and even the government has sent you to Singapore, how to deal with this aftermath?" ”

Hearing Shen Muyu ask this, Lin Huangsheng also stared at Qi Yiming tightly, and he was still a little nervous in his heart.

Qi Yiming nodded, expressing his understanding of Shen Muyu's concerns, and said: "I naturally know that in theory, our PLA should not appear here, but when it comes to national feelings and compatriot consciousness, when our country has enough strength, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch the oppression and bullying of our compatriots." But on the other hand, racial antagonism in Malaysia is deeply rooted in the bones, and the Malays have not progressed enough to gradually abandon racist policies like the United States, and if this continues, anti-Chinese incidents will still occur, and policies that are unfavorable to the Chinese community and Chinese religion will still be implemented. ”

Hearing Qi Yiming say this, the two old men couldn't help sighing, how could they not know, but the country is like this, they have no strength to change the status quo. After entering the 80s, Lim was bent on solving the crisis of Chinese religion through political participation, but it was obvious that a series of political parties, including the MCA and Gerakan Party, could not fully trust and rely on them.

Lin Huangsheng couldn't help but say, "Then Mr. Qi, do you have any suggestions to solve this problem?" ”

Qi Yiming did not directly say his proposal, but said: "The reason for the repeated exclusion of Chinese is that Malaysia's politics is unbalanced, and then this can also be attributed to the issue of ethnic structure, the Malays are bent on suppressing the living space and development of the Chinese, this is an indisputable fact, and compromise seems to be a rational solution, but if you continue to deceive yourself, in the next two decades, the proportion of Chinese may drop to less than one-fifth, and because of various social injustices, a large number of Chinese may flee, and with economic development, The conflict between the Malays and the Chinese is likely to be even more serious. Therefore, neither MCA, Gerak's choice to join Barisan Nasional (Malaysia's largest coalition of political parties, which has been in power for a long time), nor DAP's opposition line, will not be able to solve the current crisis of the Chinese compatriots in Malaysia.

Yes, it seems to be much more moderate now than the serious antagonism between the two ethnic groups in the fifties and sixties and the bloody massacre in the May 13 incident, but what is the essence of this reformism is not to gradually weaken the power of our Chinese, eat away at our flesh and blood, and wear down our culture, until one day, the Chinese descendants of Malaya no longer speak Chinese, no longer use Chinese characters, do not eat pork, women have to wear headscarves, and Sharia law replaces the real law. Isn't such a strategy of boiling frogs in warm water worthy of the vigilance of our compatriots and their rise up to fight? ”

What Qi Yiming describes is in fact what Malaysia will look like thirty years later, and the route he offers is to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of his compatriots here on another plane, not just for his own benefit.
