最新來函

近日驚聞，香港教育局有關人員提及對全港教學語言方面的政策，當局將會強令全港學校若非英文學校，即為中文學校，而中文學校則必需以中文授課而教材亦必需為中文課本，此項政策不知屬實。如真要如此推行，實乃香港未來青年的一大災難。不知是否目下這些教育高幹淺見，自掘墳墓或是刻意犧牲下一代的青年前途，放棄目前香港的文化優勢，而自甘為驕傲白免子來取悅北爺爺。又或是刻意製造一些特權階層和一些被奴役的一群。

現今世界不論國家大小貧富都隨著資訊科技的發展而走向一體化。這一體化最主要的工具之一，就是語言的溝通，目前英語是世界不論文化、經濟、科技都廣泛地使用的文字與語言，這現實說明英語是我們年青一代生活上必需的技能和工具，即使文盲愷子皆明白人能及早學習這種語言，越早能掌握它，就能越早發展其所長,為何偏要推行這倒行逆施的愚民政策？

再者現代人可謂超越國界，世界各地多有學習中文熱，而香港卻自大而不去熟習異邦文化，在知己而不知彼的後遺症下，不論是在本土或異邦謀生總是吃虧的多，縱有百樂相助亦難盡展所長，能多了解和運用多一種語言終歸是有利而無害，若強行否決中文學校使用英文課本的權利，不就是為香港營造不同的社會階級和對年青人不公平地埋沒他們的人生路途嗎？這不應是國家對教育下一代的理念吧？

回想昔日我校自創校以來，傳統就是所有數理科目都以英文課本為主，授課亦以中英並用，因而我等紅藍兒女在謀生升學兩方面都能比別人有優勝的一面，升學加美澳更是適應自如，在外多有建樹者，蜚聲國際者大有人在，這足以証明中文學校以英文課本為授學工具實有利而無害，希望母校當局與香港教育諸大員据理力爭，不容該等淺見自作聰明的跟班糊亂握殺香港年青人的前途和我母校的優良傳統。

Gentlemen, I thank you for the materials and analysis attached about choices 1. and 2. Without total understanding of background and future concerns, I must admit my view may carry little weight. One thing I do know is that the education in mother tongue from PuiChing has served me extremely well and I treasure that very much. Regarding speculation that the general populace of Hongkong may value Pui Ching more if it changes its means of education to English, I would dismiss that kind of thinking as little value. The current trend favors more value on Chinese language. Confucius Academies are welcomed and expanding rapidly. While peoples everywhere are aspiring to learn Chinese, why should we slight our valuable mother tongue? (and all the benefits of thousands of years of ethical and moral supremacy associated with the language). If the people of Hongkong slight Chinese in favor of English, let it be. I would dismiss that as short sighted and misunderstanding the world trend. My children are all born and educated in North America and understands little Chinese due to lack of need. I sometime feel that could have been the biggest mistake I ever made. I hope my humble opinion will be helpful to choosing the future path for my beloved mother school.

Yours truly,
Vincent (1963)

Dear Relatives and Friends,

We'd like to inform you that our father, David Yue Kwong Wong 黃汝光 went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, September 16th, 2008. He passed away at the Atherton Baptist Homes, Alhambra, California, where he had been a 15-year resident, and in its health center for the last year. At 98 ½ years young, he was alert, cheerful, content and in good spirits and relatively good health, except for his asthma and being hard of hearing.

Dad and Mom celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary in July, and on Sunday, September 14, our family gathered for a small but joyous Moon Festival dinner. It was filled with lots of good food, fun and laughter, especially when Dad happily recited Lee Bai 李白之《靜夜思》（床前明月光）poem and a familiar children's rhyme 月光光 about the moon. He ate two kinds of ice cream (his favorite) with moon cake for dessert.

As was her daily routine, our mom Lillian would sit with Dad in his room from mid-morning to night, reading, chatting and enjoying each other's company. Each night, before she left for her own room, he would hold her hand and as she kissed him goodnight, he would press her to return soon. Mom said goodbye to him the same way for the last time on Monday night, September 15. Early Tuesday morning around 4 a.m., a nurse heard Dad coughing and went to get his medication, and just that quickly, Dad died peacefully.

We are extremely grateful to Dad for all that he gave to us: life, knowledge, resources and above all, a stellar model of Christian faith and principles. To celebrate the Lord's wonderful blessing of our father with our family and friends, we will gather in thanksgiving on

Dear Friend of the Pui Ching Family,

Merry Christmas!

I'm glad to forward an editorial comment, and relevant feature story, published by the Ming Pao Daily on 24 December 2007 for your information. Ming Pao Daily is one of the most authoritative newspapers in Hong Kong. I hope we all share the joys that Pui Ching is always a leading educational institution in Hong Kong and the SE Asia! Taking this opportunity, I wish to extend my heartiest appreciation for the enthusiastic support to the management of Pui Ching from alumni in different parts of the world.

Have a prosperous 2008!

K. C. Ho

Hi,

H. Y. Woo created the first Pui Ching Worldwide Reunion Song for LA reunion.  He is now showing us how to make Chinese poem.  I was his classmate of 1954 class when he jumped into the 1953 class for his academic excellence at Puiching.  Let's thank H. Y. Woo for his poetic theory on http://www.puiching.org/database/notes.htm and appreciate his contribution to us all.  My words to him are shown as follows:

漢瑜學詩多佳作，習染羅門詞亦得，而今文理都長成，網上佳音人盡識。
詩歌智術難學記，今朝講備紅藍憶，六月十七難眠夜，半夜起床學作詩。
在天願作商隱李，在地願為毋潛綦，天長地久人所冀，漢瑜詞詩富金禧。

Dear PC alumni association,

Kindly see the following web link on our class webpage ( class of 1959).

http://www.lighterspc.com/talk714.html

I believe this sad news needs to be published in the PC alum magazine and on the PC alumni association webpage.

We have really gone down hill, and PC can no longer compete in Math with other schools in HK. PC alumni around the world need to be aware of this fact.

培正中學辦學模式

校名校徽搶註訴訟進展

Feeling both angry and sad whenever I 'm exposed to this subject matter.

My first encounter was way back in 2000, presented by L W Lui in HK Pui Ching and again a year later in a banquet in Toronto when Lui toured Canada and USA. This current email is the 4th encounter.

Back to these 2 current letters' opinions. I do agree with the idea of a special session early in the banquet to allowing all an open debate/voicing window on this sensitive matter subject. The debate format must be western but not Taiwan style (surely you know what I mean) to disallow/eliminate any induced residual bad feelings.

Depending on the presence of P/Cers, the session duration must be tailored to allowing all a minimum of 2 turns to fully expressing opinions.

Thanks allowing me to voice my opinion.
