“A civilized campus is, on the one hand, the most basic civilized behavior of students, and on the other hand, the recognition, practice and dissemination of civilization by teachers and students.” Jin Yi, deputy director of the Moral Education Department of Zhongshan Huaqiao Middle School (hereinafter referred to as “Qiao Middle School”) Bluntly. As a Chinese education base identified by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, Overseas Chinese High School has been insisting on building a good “overseas Chinese” brand for many years to build a cultural brand and cultivate a civilized temperament on campus. Generations of Overseas Chinese Middle School students have inherited and carried forward the overseas Chinese spirit of advocating virtue, doing good, and being patriotic and loving their hometown in the rich practice of civilization. Civilization has become a character engraved in the genes of Overseas Chinese Middle School students, nurturing thousands of students to set out from overseas Chinese and move into the broader world.
Building bridges and dreams for students’ development by building overseas hearts and souls
On December 9 this year, Qiao Zhong alumni rushed “home” to celebrate their alma mater’s 69th birthday. From the establishment of the Overseas Chinese Middle School to the expansion of the Overseas Chinese Middle School, many “overseas Chinese” forces have been competing to inject into it. Among them, patriotic overseas Chinese such as Cai Jiyou and Cai Guanshen played the most significant role. During the construction of the second phase of the Overseas Chinese Middle School expansion project, Cai Guanshen inherited his father’s ambition, cared about his hometown, and donated 10 million yuan to build the Cai Jiyou Science Museum, which was completed on the same day. Many overseas Chinese high school students witnessed this process and had a very real and profound impression of the demeanor of outstanding alumni. They bluntly said that they should use such role models as a light to work hard and serve the motherland.

“With the help of funds donated by Mr. Cai Guanshen and others, Qiao Zhong continues to carry out two education models of ‘bringing in’ and ‘going out’.” Jin Yi said that Qiao Zhong often invites well-known universities and research institutes such as Shenzhen University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Experts and scholars come to the school to give lectures on new technologies, new functions and other fields to students, stimulating students’ enthusiasm for learning and cultivating students’ innovative thinking and practical abilities. At the same time, Overseas Chinese High School also launched the “Dream Building Plan”, through the implementation of the six-in-one education program of “Dream Building Classroom”, “Dream Building Tutor”, “Dream Building Research”, “Dream Building Space”, “Dream Building Alliance” and “Dream Building Strong Foundation” The human model builds bridges and dreams for each student’s growth and development.

Li Yuyang, a first-year high school student at Qiao Middle School, is one of the beneficiaries of the “Dream Building Project”. “At first, I wanted to be a biologist. Now, I hope to become a microbiologist.” It was the “Dream Building Classroom” that made Li Yuyang clear about his goal. Li Yuyang said that the “Dream Building Classroom” had previously invited Yang Haihua, a researcher at the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a Ph.D., to give them a themed lecture titled “Microorganisms Played with by Nobel Prize Winners.” The meticulous popular science explanation and the magical and interesting microbiology knowledge immediately caught his eye and aroused his interest. “Biology class is just a window to understand biology. This lecture helped me find my way to microbiology.” The door has strengthened the direction of my efforts.” Li Yuyang said.
The school history museum is the inheritance site for overseas Chinese culture and overseas Chinese spirit, and volunteer services are actively carried out here. Jin Yi introduced that Overseas Chinese High School has cultivated a publicity volunteer service team composed of more than 20 students, which mainly carry out party history and school history publicity work at important time nodes such as campus open days. “We hope that in this way, patriotism will be Socialist education will be guided to the depths, so that the core socialist values will be deep and solid in the hearts of students.”
Civilized practice to cultivate students’ civilized temperament
Tomatoes, eggplants, lettuce, peppers, sunflowers… In the late winter, the “Overseas Chinese Farm” in Qiao Zhong is still lush. During breaks, many students came to the “Overseas Chinese Farm” to take care of weeds and were very busy.
The tomatoes planted by Yao Chuchen, a first-year high school student at Qiao Middle School, were harvested in the first two weeks. A small seedling blossoms and bears fruit after careful care, which is a wonderful experience for students. “This is very consistent with the spirit of diligent and enterprising overseas Chinese.” Yao Chuchen said that planting flowers and fruits not only taught her a skill, but also a skill. The process also made her understand better: people must have the courage to face failure and the resilience to persevere, and firmly believe that persistence will always yield rewards.
The “Overseas Chinese Farm” was built in the Overseas Chinese Middle School last year, shouldering the important task of promoting students to become a new generation of the era with comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and labor. It currently covers an area of more than 400 square meters. “‘Overseas Chinese Farm’ is a comprehensive labor practice base that we have created that integrates labor education, popular science education, environmental education, conservation education, and patriotic education. We hope to guide students to understand and inherit overseas Chinese culture during labor and spread new trends in civilization.” Jin Yi revealed that Qiao Zhong also organizes students to clean the campus regularly so that they can learn to understand the hard work of sanitation workers and respect the labor of others.
In Qiao Middle School, students are the important subjects in maintaining the order of dining, sleeping, and reading in the library. “Self-management and peer communication can allow students to better understand a healthy, harmonious, civilized and orderly learning and living environment.” Tan Qian, a first-year high school teacher, said that in addition to clear class and house rules to guide students to consciously develop civilized habits, Every class in Overseas Chinese Middle School has at least one volunteer service team. At the same time, Qiao Zhong will also use the strength of the school’s student union and youth league committee to launch civilized creation voluntary service activities, attracting students to participate voluntarily, so that students can experience what “civilization” is through civilized practice.
Not only that, Qiao Zhong has also developed life education courses, and conducts emergency first aid training, fire drills, earthquake drills, etc. every year for all teachers and students in the school, so that teachers and students can learn standardized emergency rescue skills, cherish and respect life more, and live a healthy and civilized life.
