The article "It is the responsibility of overseas Chinese parents to let their children learn Chinese" was reprinted in People's Daily-Overseas Edition of People's Daily in April11(liuxue86.com). I have been in Canada for more than 20 years. It can be said that I have basically integrated into the culture here and adapted to the lifestyle here. However, whenever and wherever I see news, history, culture and people about China, I feel proud, because I come from that ancient civilization with thousands of years' history. The uniqueness of China's writing and language is amazing. The history of China only shows the rise and fall of dynasties, but Chinese characters are enduring. For example, the Yuan Dynasty replaced the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Although both Yuan and Qing Dynasties had their own scripts, after the establishment of the central government, governments at all levels adopted Chinese, so the political power was stabilized.

/kloc-left China at the age of 0/2. I was only in the fifth grade at that time. What I remember most is the Tang poetry I read as a child. I still remember Li Bai's thought on a quiet night: "With such bright light at the foot of my bed, will there be frost?" . Looking up, it's already moonlight, and it's sinking back, and I suddenly think of home ",and" Early Delivery from Bai Di City ":"Colorful clouds leave Bai Di and return to Jiangling in one day. The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the canoe has passed Chung Shan Man. " From these two poems, we can see the rich history and writing of China. There is no word in the world that can shorten a person's story to just more than 20 words, and it is so beautiful and smooth to read, which can make people catchy and keep it in mind forever.

I have two children, aged 65,438+00 and 8 respectively. They were born in Canada, so they have no knowledge of Chinese, let alone China culture and history. As parents, we encourage and educate our children to speak Chinese at home and send them to Chinese schools to read and write.

There are many reasons for children to learn Chinese: Chinese mainland, Taiwan Province Province and Asia are booming, and more and more Canadian immigrants come from these areas; Canada has become the second hometown of thousands of Chinese; The overseas Chinese market is booming; The economic cooperation and friendly exchanges between China and Canada are getting closer and closer ... It has long been common sense that mastering Chinese will have obvious advantages.

In short, it is of great significance for children to learn the language of one fifth of the world's population, which will help them understand the rich history and culture of their country of origin. It is also the responsibility of our overseas Chinese parents to pass on China's writing, language and culture to our next generation. (from Canada)
