?Guide of ‘Impressions of Fuzhou’ The 1st Overseas Chinese Painting, Calligraphy and Essay Competition of Elementary and Middle School Students

◆前言Introduction

福州市是著名的僑鄉，目前共有海外華僑華人約400萬人，廣泛分布在世界160多個國家和地區。海外華人雖然身處異國他鄉，但他們的根在故土、血脈在故土，民族的振興、文化的傳承、同胞的幸福，一直為廣大海外華人魂牽夢系。

Fujian is one of the most famous hometowns of overseas Chinese. For now a total of 4 million overseas Chinese are widely distributed in more than 160 countries and areas worldwide. Although overseas Chinese are living on foreign land, they are rooted in homeland, and their bloodline belongs to their homeland. The revitalization of Chinese nation, the inheritance of Chinese Culture, and the happiness of compatriots, have always been rooted in the mind of broad masses of overseas Chinese.

為了積極展示福州形象，吸引越來越多的華裔新生代更好地認識福州，關注家鄉的發展變化。現發起首屆海外華裔中小學生“印象?福州”書畫、征文大賽。邀請身居海外的華人華僑、港澳臺青少年參與活動，通過書畫、征文大賽的方式，一起探尋中華文化的博大精深；一起分享熾熱的鄉情、親情、友情。

To actively show the image of Fuzhou, and to attract more and more next generation of overseas Chinese for a better understanding of Fuzhou, as well as the development of their hometown, we are now launching Impressions of Fuzhou, the 1st Overseas Chinese Painting, Calligraphy and Essay Competition of Elementary and Middle School Students. Compatriots who live abroad, and young people from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan are invited to discover the extensive and profound Chinese culture together, and sharing our glowing passion for hometown, family affection, as well as friendship via painting, calligraphy and essay, showing the heavy historical and cultural accumulation of the blessed city (Fuzhou) and the dramatic changes in city development.
