Singapore introduced a new 20 yuan banknote with eight pioneers printed on the back. Why is there a porcelain on it?

Mencius said, "When you hear a kind word, you will see a good deed, and you will never be able to prevent it."

Singapore is a very special existence in Asia. Although it is a small island country, its economy is particularly developed and its culture is extremely diverse. Another typical feature of Singapore is that there are many immigrants, many of whom are from China. However, Singapore has introduced a new version of 20 yuan banknotes with eight pioneers printed on the back. Why is there a China man on it?

20 19 is the 200th anniversary of the establishment of Singapore's foreign trade port. To commemorate this occasion, the current Singaporean President announced that he would issue 2 million new 20 yuan banknotes. As soon as this news was released to the people of Singapore, it triggered a heated discussion, and one of the focuses of the discussion was the words printed on the new banknotes. There are eight big characters printed on the back of the new bill. Although these eight figures are in different professional fields, they have made outstanding contributions and values to Singapore, such as Yusov, the first president of Singapore. To our surprise in China, one of these eight faces is from Fujian, that is, Chen Jiageng. Why is China and Fujian printed on new banknotes?

Chen Jiageng is from Xiamen, Fujian. Young Chen Jiageng is brilliant and dares to fight. 189 1 year, he went to Singapore with his father's modest fortune, made a name for himself in southeast Asia, established his own business kingdom and became a famous rubber king. At that time, many companies all over the world hoped to cooperate with Chen Jiageng and become agents of enterprises under his name, which showed Chen Jiageng's influence.

If Chen Jiageng only has a business mind, then he is only a businessman at most, and he can be a model for many people. More importantly, he is keen to devote himself to education. After returning to his hometown, Chen Jiageng invested heavily in establishing many schools in southern Fujian and Xiamen, and the famous Xiamen University was founded by him. The trained talents are of great help to the modernization of China, so until now, the teachers and students in the school he founded still call him the master of the school with full respect.

In fact, after returning to China, Chen Jiageng not only devoted himself to education, but also founded many schools in Singapore, which trained many talents for Singapore. Among them, Huaqiao Middle School, which he founded in Singapore in his early years, is now the top middle school in Singapore, and Singaporean students are proud to be able to enter it. In addition, he founded Nanyang Huaqiao University, the first overseas Chinese university in Singapore.

It can be said that Chen Jiageng can become one of the figures printed on Singapore's new banknotes, not only because of his status as a giant businessman, but also because of his efforts for Singapore's education. Therefore, it can be said that Chen Jiageng's portrait is justified to be printed on Singapore's new banknotes, and we also hope that the spirit of Chen Jiageng will bring more value to the people of Singapore.

Conclusion:

"It is a gentleman to do good and not be lazy." The world is everyone's world, and the realization of personal value is not limited to the region or country to which we belong. As long as we can shine and bring value to human society, we can work hard and contribute wherever we can. I hope everyone can learn from Mr. Chen Jiageng's spirit and make silent contributions to human progress.
