--Chin Peng-陳平~王文華--



Chin Peng, former OBE (Traditional Chinese: 陳平, Simplified Chinese: 陈平, Mandarin Chén Píng) (born 1924), was born Ong Boon Hua (Mandarin: Wang Yonghua or Wang Wenhua Chinese: 王文華) in Sitiawan, and was a long-time leader of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP). A determined anti-colonialist, he was notorious for leading the party's guerrilla insurgency in the Malayan Emergency and beyond.
~
Chin Peng was born in late October, 1924, into a middle class Hokchia (hanyu pinyin: Fuqing) family in the small seaside town of Sitiawan, in Perak state, Malaya. His father had come to the town in 1920 and started a bicycle, tyre, and spare motor parts business with the help of a relative from Singapore. He attended a Chinese-language school in Sitiawan. In 1937 he joined the Chinese Anti Enemy Backing Up Society (AEBUS), formed that year to send aid to China in response to Japan's aggression against that country. According to Chin and Hack, he was not yet at that time a devoted communist. He was in charge of anti-Japanese activities at his school. Initially a supporter of Sun Yat-sen, by early 1939 he had embraced communism. He planned to go to Yan'an, the renowned Communist base in China, but was persuaded to remain in Malaya and take on heavier responsibilities for the Party there.
~
In late 1939, by which time Chin had completed his study up to Senior Middle One, his school announced that the Senior Middle section was to be closed due to lack of money. He chose to continue his education in the Methodist-run Anglo-Chinese Continuation School, which operated in English, because it provided a good cover for his underground activities and because it was local so he would not have to move to Singapore for schooling. However after six months he left the school "for fear of British harassment". Once out of school, he concentrated on his political activities, and became, from that point on, a full time revolutionary. In January 1940 he had been put in charge of three anti-Japanese organisations that had a scope beyond the schools; they were for students, teachers, other cultural members, and shop assistants. At the end of January, 1940, he was admitted to the Malayan Communist Party as a candidate member.

--新年 2011--


新年指中国及其他汉字文化圈地区的农历一月一日,传统上称为元旦(与中国现行的公历元旦不同)、岁首、正旦,现在一般称为新年、大年,口头上亦称为过年、 度岁、庆新岁;是东亚许多国家和地区庆祝新年的主要节日。越南语称为“Tết Nguyên Đán”(節元旦)、日语称为“正月”(明治维新后改称旧正月)、韩语称为“설날”(此乃固有词,即新年之意)。
~
春节和年的概念,最初的含意来自农业,古时人们把谷的生长周期称 为“年”。《说文·禾部》:“年,谷熟也。”在夏商时代产生了夏历,以月亮圆缺的周期为月,一年划分为十二个月,每月以不见月亮的那天为朔,正月朔日的子 时称为岁首,即一年的开始,也叫年,年的名称是从周朝开始的,至了西汉才正式固定下来,一直延续到今天。但古时的正月初一被称为“元旦”,直到中国近代辛 亥革命胜利后,南京临时政府为了顺应农时和便于统计,规定在民间使用夏历,在政府机关、厂矿、学校和团体中实行公历。

1949年9月27日,在中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议上,通过了使用世界上通用的公历纪元,把公历的元月一日定为元旦,俗称阳历年农历正月初一通常都在立春前后,因而把农历正月初一定为“春节”,俗称阴历年。

  传统意义上的春节是指从腊月初八的腊祭或腊月二十三的祭灶,一直直到正月十五,其中以除夕和正月初一为高潮。在春节这一传统节日期间,我国的汉族和大多数少数民族都有要举行各种庆祝活动,这些活动大多以祭祀神佛、祭奠祖先、除旧布新、迎禧接福、祈求丰年为主要内容。活动形式丰富多彩,带有浓郁的民族特色。

--Gong Xi Fa Cai















Chinese New Year – often called Chinese Lunar New Year although it actually is lunisolar – is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. Despite its winter occurrence, in China it is known as "Spring Festival," the literal translation of the Chinese name 春节 (Pinyin: Chūn Jié), owing to the difference between Western and traditional Chinese methods for computing the seasons. The festival begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: Zhēng Yuè) in the traditional Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day. Chinese New Year's Eve, a day where Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner, is known as Chú Xī (除夕) or "Eve of the Passing Year."
