Outstanding deeds of overseas Chinese

Strive hard in Nanyang to earn the foundation and serve the motherland

Mr. Wang was poor in his childhood, but he had no choice but to make a living in Nanyang. After hard work, he became a famous overseas Chinese leader and entrepreneur in Malaysia.

1875, Wang was born in a poor fisherman's family in Yimen Village, Qinglan Town, Wenchang. His father is an old fisherman, who has spent his life in the sea and his family is poor. In order to find a way out, when Wang was only 13 years old, he said goodbye to his parents and brother in tears and went to Nanyang by sailing to earn his own living. He fished shrimp in Malaysia first, and then worked as an ice salesman. According to the needs of different fishing boats, he took the initiative to transport ice cubes to fishing boats with a sampan, which earned him valuable reputation with his diligence and honesty. With a little accumulation, I bought a car in time. In addition to selling ice cubes, I also started the ice fish transportation and marketing industry. Because of my excellent sales performance, I was appointed as the general agent by a British businessman's company. On this basis, Wang gradually developed other projects, besides investing in real estate, planting rubber and mining tin mines, he also invested in hotels, theaters and other service industries. By the 1920s, Wang had become a well-known entrepreneur among overseas Chinese of Qiong nationality.

Wang's achievements and personality won the trust and respect of villagers and local elites, and was elected as the prime minister of Qiongzhou Hall in Geelong. 1930 was appointed as a member of the China Counselor's Bureau and a justice of the peace by the Malaysian Selangor government. Wang Shi was 55 years old.

Wang Yizhi is very enthusiastic about the public welfare undertakings in his hometown. 1936, Wang and others initiated the establishment of Qiongya Industrial Co., Ltd. to develop Qiongya reclamation, mining, fishery, salt industry and other industries. He led his neighbors to plant 8,000 mu of land and more than 400 mu of rubber in Wanning. During the Anti-Japanese War, Wang led overseas Chinese in Qiongya to actively donate money to support the anti-Japanese war in Qiongya. Feng Baiju, then the captain of Qiongya Self-Defense Independent Team, wrote to Wang personally twice, praising patriotic overseas Chinese for their "warm and righteous acts".

Many hospitals and schools in Hainan have donations from Wang. 1926 when Haikou Hainan hospital was established, he donated 1000 yuan to Dayang and was hired as honorary dean. He also donated money to Qionghai Middle School (the predecessor of Hainan Middle School) three times to build a library for Wenchang Middle School, namely Song Zhaolou. Wenchang Qinglan Nandao Primary School and Huiguan Wennan Primary School also have teaching buildings donated by Wang. At present, these teaching buildings have maintained their original arcade style and are still in use.

When you are rich, you won't forget the poor. This virtue has been fully embodied in the king. 1956 Wang died in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. His name has always been engraved in the hearts of the people in his hometown of overseas Chinese, and his patriotic feelings have been passed down from generation to generation in his descendants.

Since 1934, Wang has remitted money from abroad every year to build roads for Wenchang's hometown and build five wooden bridges on the way to his hometown. Later, due to the trouble of remittance, Wang bought three paved houses in Wenchang and paid the maintenance fee with rent. I also bought two buildings in Haikou (now "Chang 'an Hotel" on Xinhua North Road and 5 1 Deshengsha), and the client acted as the agent. All the rent is used for highway maintenance and solving villagers' difficulties, and the insufficient part is remitted from abroad.

1955, Wang died in Kuala Lumpur at the age of 80.

Wang:

It is said to be the first female pilot in Asia.

Mr. Wang has nine sons and five daughters, all of whom have inherited his father's legacy and are enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings in his hometown. Around 1958, Hainan was short of materials, so the eldest son Wang Guopan sent back cereals and other foods from Malaysia and distributed them to the villagers. He also donated the rent of Haikou real estate to Wenchang Overseas Chinese Middle School and Nandao Primary School for running a school.

Wang's family motto is: No matter how many languages you know and how many dialects you know, you must speak Hainan dialect at home. Everyone in the family is no exception.

Among his daughters, the most unique one is Wang's eldest daughter. She was born in Kuala Lumpur. After graduating from high school, she joined the Cheryl Club in Malaysia and became a pilot. Malaysia's Nanyang Business Daily once published her story, calling her "the first female pilot in Asia".

Wang was active by nature and liked playing badminton and riding motorcycles on the road, which was rare at that time. She is also a member of the Young Women's Christian Association and loves dancing. Flying a plane is not only an activity that women dare not ask, but also an activity that men rarely participate in. She is the only person in the family who is interested in flying in the blue sky. When she dared to ask her father to fly, she got his support. She is very talented. After studying at the Sierra Leone Flying Club 12 hours, she can control the lift of the plane by herself.

Wang is an excellent pilot, who has won many flying awards and been in distress many times. The most thrilling time was 1937, when she flew to the seaside alone. The plane suddenly broke down and she was forced to go to crash landing. When the plane landed on the ground, it suddenly capsized and her wings and skeleton were destroyed, but she was lucky and safe.

Flying a plane was a sensation in the 1930s. What is even more admirable is that when the Japanese invaded China, she asked to join the China Air Force and bomb Japanese positions to avenge her compatriots and the country. However, because China Air Force Military Academy does not accept girls, Wang has no choice but to serve the country and become a modern Mulan.

Soon after, Wang came to Hong Kong and joined the local flying club. For her, it is impossible to defend the motherland's airspace by flying a fighter plane, but it can guide young people to learn flying skills, so that after they are admitted to the Air Force School, they can master driving skills faster and better perform the task of defending the motherland's airspace, which is also serving the country.

This is really an unusual girl. At that time, singing Cantonese opera was very popular, and when raising money for public welfare activities or charities, she also appeared as BLACKPINK many times. However, she didn't play the delicate Hua Dan, but played the role of the emperor, singing old songs.

Wang never married, and died of heart failure in Malaysia in 197 1 at the age of 58.

Wang's nephew Qing Yang Da is also a pilot. A few years ago, when Jackie Chan, a famous Hong Kong movie star, came to Kuala Lumpur to shoot the film Never Admit Losing, the helicopter pilot was Yang Qingda, the grandson of Wang and the second son of Wang Lianmei, Wang's sister. Another bus accident occurred in Malaysia, and helicopters were called to the valley to assist in the rescue work. The pilot at that time was also Yang Qingda.

Great-great-grandson three brothers:

Continue to love your country and your hometown.

Wang's direct descendants have taken root abroad, and they often go back to their hometown to find their relatives and ancestors. His great-great-grandson inherited Zeng Wang's family business and also continued Zeng's patriotism and homesickness.

Wang built Wang Mansion in Deshengsha, Haikou City in his early years. This five-story building was rebuilt by 1995, and now it is rented out as a clothing wholesale shop. Wang, the king's great-grandson, once lived here. They set up Wang Co., Ltd. to operate shopping malls, tourism and aquaculture. These three brothers are very much like their great-uncles. They are very enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings. In addition to donating money to build off-campus, they also set up Wang Scholarship in Wenchang Middle School and Nandao Primary School. In Wenchang's hometown, electricity was pulled, roads were built, bridges were built, street lamps were set up, and funds were set up to maintain street lamps and roads.

Many teaching buildings donated by Mr. Wang in his hometown have a history of 70 or 80 years. These buildings have fallen into disrepair due to the tempering of years. The three brothers discussed rebuilding their ancestral businesses and representing them to benefit their hometown. 1998, the three brothers returned to their hometown of Wenchang qinglan, and saw that the Nandao Primary School donated by Uncle Zeng in the 1930s was dilapidated, so they donated 654.38+million yuan in the name of Wang Co., Ltd. to rebuild a teaching building on the original site. The building of Guannan Primary School in Huiwen Town is also relatively old. At the 95th anniversary ceremony of Wenchang Middle School in 2003, the three brothers donated 200,000 yuan to rebuild the old building in the name of Wang Co., Ltd.; The three brothers donated 750,000 yuan in the name of Wang Co., Ltd. to start work again.
