New Asia Spirit
Prof. Henny N.C. Wong, Head of New Asia College
New Asia College grew amidst hardship and adversity
during its early days. The New Asia Spirit was thus forged and embodred
determination and persistence ¡V the tougher life gets, the stronger
our will. At the same time, this spirit haspropelled us to advance towards
our vision and goals.
New Asia College was founded in 1949 by Dr. Ch¡¦ien
Mu, Dr. Tang Chun-i, Dr. Tchang Pi-kai and other prominent scholars.
The College, located on Kweilin Street, was extremely small and its
facilities were minimal. Most of the teachers and students had fled
from the Mainland to Hong Kong. Although life was difficult, everyone
worked hard to achieve the ideal of education.
As soon as the College was established, Dr. Ch¡¦ien
wrote ¡§The New Asia College Anthem¡¨. The lyrics laid down the principles
of living and learning for all members of the College. Since then, the
New Asia Spirit has spread far and wide. Over the past decades, teachers
and students of the College have been inspired by this spirit and together
built up a fine tradition of learning. Furthermore, our graduates have
been guided by this spirit to move forward in their lives.
The anthem is divided into three verses, each illustrating
the core values of the New Asia Spirit.
The first verse goes:
Mountain¡¦s steep, Ocean¡¦s deep,
Earth is wide, Heaven is high,
Men¡¦s dignity, Soul have we.
Wide world broadens our mind,
Ages ripe our fruits. Cherish, cherish, it¡¦s our spirit of New Asia!
The verse praises all creations in the universe:
the steep mountains, the deep oceans, the high heaven above and the
wide earth below, demonstrating the solemnity of the heaven and the
earth. It also reminds us to use an open mind and an open heart to appreciate
this solemnity and respect the dignity of the human heart. Such is the
spirit of New Asia.
The second verse goes:
Million miles, Nations prosper all in our sight,
Thousand years, Olds and news weave realm of the light,Uncounted God¡¦s
descendents,East and West and North and South do have their saints.
Cherish, cherish, it¡¦s our spirit of New Asia! This verse eulogizes
the 5,000 years of Chinese history and culture: the beauty of our nation,
its magnificent history and the brilliant descendents of the Yellow
Emperor.
This again illustrates the New Asia Spirit ¡V it
is our duty to respect,carry on, and promote Chinese culture.
The third verse goes:
Nothing left, in my hands, Journey¡¦s long, never
ends, In the chaos, In my flight, Starved is my flesh,
Forged is my soul, Let¡¦s march over life, Let¡¦s sing when we¡¦re tired,
Pick the loads unbearable in our youth, Let¡¦s walk hands in hands, Cherish,
cherish, it¡¦s our spirit of New Asia!
In the 1950¡¦s, Hong Kong went through turmoil,homelessness,
perils and poverty, and ¡§New Asians¡¨ also suffered from the same fate.
In those days, most students, having fled from their hometowns, could
not afford school fees, so teachers and students often ate and slept
together in tiny rooms; some even passed their nights on staircases.
Even under those trying circumstances, everyone persisted
in pursuing their dreams, hence the lines ¡§Starved is my flesh,Forged
is my Soul¡¨. This spirit of endurance has lived on and still exists
today.
At the time, the College supported many popular
publications such as Democratic Review, Humanity Magazine and The Chinese
Student Weekly apart from offering daytime classes. It also rgularly
hosted public cultural seminars conducted by renowned scholars, including
Xu Fu-guan, Mou Zong-san, and Jao Tsung-i. These seminars were extremely
popular and scholars and friends often engaged in animated discussions,
which contributed to their fame. For this reason,the New Asia College
on Kweilin Street was highly influential despite its small size. This
is another manifestation of the much-celebrated New Asia Spirit.
