前言

缅省中文学院四十周年纪念特刊面世了，这
是中院发展史上的一件大事情。我们怀着诚
惶诚恐的心情把它呈现给中院师生，家长，
义工， 和一切关心中文学院发展和海外中文
教育的人们。
四十年如一日，中院创办元老和众多的义工怀着历史责任感辛勤办学教书育人，培养了近千名
学生。中院对曼尼托巴省中文教育的贡献是有目共睹的， 中院人用自己的行动书写着华人的奋
斗史, 他们不需要人们的颂扬。我们编写特刊只为真实记录中院人的经历，和发生在我们身边
的事情。虽然，特刊所反映的不是中院的全部，总体质量还不尽人意，文字也略显粗糙，但决
无掩饰和娇柔造作。我们不是为中院的过去写总结，是想以史为鉴，为中院的明天，讲述昨天
和今天的故事。
无论是早期移民还是改革开放后走出国门的第一代海外大陆移民，不管是源于什么原因离开自
己的祖国，来到加拿大这个陌生的国度，全新的社会制度、生活工作环境，不同的语言和文化
对我们大家的冲击是十分巨大的。在我们艰苦创业，建立新家园的时候，我们更希望自己下一
代能更好的融入当地的社会，具有更好的竞争力，同时也希望我们的孩子认识中国字，懂中国
事，保留中文这个和祖国亲人沟通的重要媒介。有幸的是，我们缅省中文学院为您的子女提供
了这样一个学习平台。
当今，成千上万的大陆移民正在以“黄河入海流”的磅礴气势，冲在整个中华民族文明潮流融
入世界文明的前沿。我们重新认识着外部世界，同时世界也从我们身上加深了对中国人的了
解。我们的成功需要强大的海外华人社区，更需与强大的祖国保持联系。因为有强大的祖国做
后盾，海外华人才有自立于世界民族之林的底气和尊严。让我们的孩子学习和学好中文，传承
优秀的中华文化不应该是选项而应该是必须。
我们尊敬中院元老四十年前创办中文学院的远见卓识， 他们的奋斗和无私精神鼓励着我们新一
代中院人团结一心努力把中院的事情办好。让我们用唐代王之涣的诗：“白日依山尽，黄河入
海流。欲穷千里目，更上一层楼” 共勉 。

Manitoba Academy of Chinese Studies’40th PREFACE
Anniversary Publication marks a milestone
in the history of the Academy. We present
this with humility to our students, parents,
volunteers, and everyone that has a vested
interest in the development of the Academy
and overseas Chinese education.

In the blink of an eye, 40 years has passed. With enthusiasm and a sense of responsibility;
the founders of the Academy and the numerous volunteering educators throughout the
years have educated and brought up almost 1000 students. The contribution of the Academy
to Chinese education in Manitoba is evident, and the actions of the Academy members
chronicle the struggle and rise of Chinese immigrants. This publication is to commemorate
the Academy throughout the years. Although we may be insignificant in the grand scale of
the world and our words are not sophisticated, we nonetheless enthusiastically record these
events. We look to the future in narrating the past stories of the Academy.

Whether it is the first generation of Chinese immigrants or those that came later after the
reform of China, no matter what the reason was for leaving, they arrived in a foreign nation,
in a new society. They not only face unfamiliar living and working environments, the language
and cultural barriers also present a great challenge to them. While immigrants struggle to
build new homes and careers, they also build hope that the next generations will have an
easier time fitting into local society. The older generations hope that future generations
are equipped with the skills to contribute, but also that they can still read Chinese and
understand the importance of keeping their Chinese heritage. It is with language that they
can remain in touch with their roots. Thankfully with the existence of the Academy, every child
is given this wonderful opportunity to keep their heritage.

刊首寄语

Today, millions of Chinese live overseas in the far corners of the world, bringing with them
their heritage and influence to the world around them. We look at the world with renewed
enthusiasm, with the hope that we understand others and that they can understand what it
is to be Chinese. Our success is in the effort of all overseas Chinese communities, and the
support and communication with China, our roots. With the backing of our motherland,
we can stand proud with the citizens of the world. With the support of our new homeland
we teach our children the importance of harmony and Chinese language. Learning and
understanding Chinese culture is not a choice but rather a welcome privilege.
We salute the founders of the Academy who had this extraodinary vision 40 years ago to
build a community of upstanding citizens of the world that can not only speak Chinese,
but also understand and share Chinese culture. The selfless spirit of the founders and their
sacrifice encourage all of us to join together in continuing the education of language and
culture and to continuously improve the Academy. The best word to describe the future of
the Academy is from a poem by Wang Zhi Huan a famous Tang Dynasty poet.

Climbing White Stork Tower
The white sun sets behind the mountains,

and the Yellow River flows into the sea.
To see a thousand mile view,
go up another floor.

President of Manitoba Academy of Chinese Studies

中院元老寄语
A Time to Reflect…and Move On

By Chi-loong Wong and Betty Wong It’s hard to believe that the Academy is already
more than 40 years old. At the time that
MACS was found, we were reasonably young
and energetic, with three children ranging in
age from five to 13. Some might consider it’s
selfish or self-serving to start a school just so
our own children would have the opportunity
to learn the Chinese language and culture –
and they could be right!

Over the past 40 years, the Academy has gone through many changes and weathered some
tough times. At the beginning, membership was small, and so was the student population.
With only seven founders along with a dozen or so founding members, we managed to make
do with very limited resources. Teachers, administrators, sports organizers, curriculum writers
– not a single person was paid: we were all volunteers. Meetings were held in our homes with
refreshments and dinners provided by the host, free of charge. Those were fun, simple and
happy times – the good old days!

We don’t mean to paint an idealistic picture. We had our differences; there were conflicts
and arguments. There were strong-willed, opinionated people in our midst, but arguments
were always related to idea and issues -- they were never personal.

That’s what I have always felt it distinguishes the Academy from other community
organizations. From time to time, we could not help but feel proud to hear about friends or
members who tried to volunteer for other organizations but soon returned to the Academy
because they missed the family environment the Academy provides that others lack.

16

贺词寄语

We are sure that we speak for many of the Academy’s senior members when we say we
should learn to “let go”. We did more than our share at the beginning, helping to build a
strong foundation for the organization. The Academy is very fortunate now to have a younger
generation of dedicated and capable people who share our vision and will continue to strive
to meet our original goals and objectives. It’s time for the seniors to sit back, relax and take
pride in the Academy’s accomplishments.
We would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to the Academy on its 40th
anniversary and the special publication commemorating it. Much appreciation and a heartfelt
thank-you is extended to our new president and executives for their continuing devotion and
dedication to the Academy. We firmly believe that under Dr Li Yueshu’s excellent leadership,
the Academy can look forward to a future that is bright.

华夏传承厚，经典蕴藏优。

掌握文明薪火，周末开班授课 ，砺志柱中流。
造福子孙辈，集腋冀成裘。

贺词寄语

Time Reflection The Manitoba Academy of Chinese
Studies is now more than 41 years! When
Rose Lim and Dr. Dick Lim Rose and I joined the organization at its
inception, we did not anticipate the time
and energy which we would be spending
on this endeavor from 1974 to the present.

We are very happy to be members, and
to volunteer for all these years, helping
in various capacities to promote and
maintain this wonderful organization.

We are proud to say that our 3 children who were students of the school are now parents
themselves, doing their own part to promote the Chinese language, arts and culture in
their respective communities.
Over the years we have learned several important lessons:
• An organization needs strong support from its membership to keep its objectives
and priorities in sight.
• No person is an island.
• Communication is vital. Without this, misunderstandings can arise.
• Compromise is needed.
Whatever position one might hold, it is only transient. It is most important that each and
every one should try their best to further the main objectives of the Academy for the
collective good.
To this end, we are very happy to witness the transition of the membership from the
original local, Southeast Asian, Taiwan and Hong Kong Chinese to the Mainland Chinese.

缅省中院

缅省中文学院简介

中院理事长
李月树 博士

缅省中文学院位于加拿大曼尼托巴省温尼伯市，是曼尼托巴省规模和影响力最大的中文教学机
构。 她创办于一九七四年，是曼尼托巴省第一所使用中文普通话授课的学院。目前该院设有从
幼稚班到十年级的普通教学班和成人班, 有在校学生200余人， 任教教师30余人。学生来源主
要是当地华裔学生也有一些其他族裔的学生。多年来中文学院坚持创院宗旨，积极发扬和传播
中华文化，努力教授中国语文和竭力促进当地华裔之团结。缅省中文学院已成为加拿大中文教
育领域的领先团体，取得了令人瞩目的成就。建院40年来中院为加拿大培养了一大批初步通晓
中国文化和传统的学生。这些学生中有些已经成为各界的精英。

中文学院的创建动机和宗旨

缅省中文学院是由一群居住在温尼伯市关心华裔前途的有识华裔人士在一九七四年创办的。当
时他们的动机是：开办中文学院以保存中国文化和语文，同时促进华社团结以争取华裔的更大
福利。 为达到创建中文学院的目的，学院设立了三个非常明确的宗旨：

1．发扬和传播中华文化之精英；
2．学习及教授中国语文；
3．促进当地华裔居民之团结。

中院的组织

缅省中文学院是一所义务，独立和公开的非盈利机构。学院最高权利机构为中文学院会员大
会，它的执行机构是理事会和常设或特设委员会。中文学院的一切活动都是由各个团队以工作
小组形式去负责和完成的。中文学院每年召开两次会员大会，大会遵循西方议会程序去选举理
事和审核理事会工作报告（包括财政预算和决算）， 以及议决中院的各项活动 方针。理事会
共设有七名理事，他们是由会员民主选举产生，理事长由理事们自行推荐。过去的四十年中，
中院的理事长由十多位不同的会员分别担任。中院采用分层负责制，各团队或委员会向理事会
负责，理事会向全体会员大会负责，会员有权监督理事会，亦有义务协助理事会以及各团队共
同扩展中院的各项事务。

26

缅省中院

中文学院的立场和作风

缅省中文学院是一个义务，独立而公开的自愿组织。

她是义务的-----不计酬劳亦不谋私利；

她是独立的---不受干预亦不受收买；

她是公开的---欢迎参与反对歧视；

她是民主的---容许反对意见和拒绝专制。

在保障会员的民主权利方面，中文学院重视民主和法制，重视按章办事的法制精神。中文学院
在教学方面力求做到教学内容与时俱进，鼓励创新务实。在普通话教学内容上做到对中华文化
的取其精华，去其糟粕，配合加拿大本土的语言和文化习惯有所区别的选择。中文学院追求团
结而不同流合污， 她积极支持一切有利于整体华社的事业，但坚守一贯的“公开，公平，公
益”等合作前提

中文学院的教育活动

中文学院的教育活动是以中文班为中心的。中文班成立于1974年3月。中文班的教学目标是让
学童能够讲中国话， 读中国书和懂中国事。
中文班的教学活动依靠租用公立学校的教室和文体设施来完成。现在使用Grant Park High
School 的教室和文体设施。
中院现有三十多名教师和助教，其中大多数有丰富的中文教学经验，有几位曾是本省公立学校
的教师。
中文学校中文班教授从幼儿班到十年级的中文课程。有些班级根据学生的会话程度分为A班和B
班。 A班的学生在家里缺乏使用普通话的环境, B班的学生在家里通常使用普通话。 此外，还设
有三个成人班，来满足日益增长的不同层次的成年人学习中文的需求。
中文学校中文班主要使用中院自己编写的适用北美生活环境的语文教材，辅以一些其他的资
料。 学生每周上两小时语文，另外有一小时的选修科目，例如，书法，国画，武术和民族舞
蹈等。此外，中院还经常举办定期和不定期的一些课外活动，例如朗诵会，书法比赛，文艺表
演，新年团拜以及一些其他形式的文化活动。这些活动可以促进学生对学习中文的乐趣，增加
学生应用中文和接触中国文化的机会。

27

缅省中院

中文学院的文化活动

中文学院的文化活动比较具体的有下列各项：
• 夏令营
夏令营是中院的暑假活动 , 从1975年开始大致每年举办一次。开始时是以家庭文化营形式，借
助集体生活去增进文化认识。历届夏令营都有轻松愉快的康乐活动和交谊活动，也有比较严肃
的益智的文化座谈。
从1994年开始中院自己主办或与中华学院，培英学校，中华文化社及中华会馆等华人组织联合
举办缅省中华夏令营。每两年由来自台湾的美劳，手工，体育和舞蹈教师向孩子们教授中国传
统的手工，体育和舞蹈科目，使孩子们经历和体验中国传统的文化活动。
• 中文学院合唱团
中文学院的合唱团以歌唱中国民歌以及艺术歌曲的方式去弘扬中华文化。合唱团已有三十多年
的历史，现有团员约30多名。三十多年来，合唱团演唱的曲目涵盖两岸三地的经典中文合唱歌
曲，近年来更加入英文，德文，意大利文等多种语言和风格的名曲，曲目更加丰富多采，演唱
水准更上一层楼。
中文学院合唱团在2006年曾赴渥太华参加 UNISONG 国庆庆典演出并载誉而归。自2001年开
始的每年五月，中院合唱团与本市意大利文化中心联合举办“春之共鸣”音乐晚会，誉满温
城。此外，中院合唱团积极参与中文学院内部的庆典活动，也经常应邀在其他社团所举办的文
娱活动中演唱。每年圣诞节前夕，与老人院耆英们的联欢会，也早已成为合唱团的传统，一直
传承至今。
• 中院通讯（NEWSLETTER）
中文学院为了促进与教师家长和学生之间沟通并为文教工作提供交流媒介，曾经刊行过一份《
学院通讯》。 这份刊物除了探讨有关中文教育的各项课题外，也曾经在文化介绍和众多华社社
区问题的评述上，发挥过舆论媒介的一定功能。 虽然于1978年改以《简讯》的形式不定期地
在内部发行。但它对中院的活动有重大的沟通和促进作用。从1978年起《中文通讯》更名为《
中文学院通讯》重新开始定期发行。它的内容主要包括中文学院消息，中文班的教学活动及中
院其他团体的消息，等等。
• 太极拳班
太极拳融汇民族哲理和武术于一炉，是老少咸宜的健身运动，也是相当具体的中华文化精华之
一。中院的太极班最初是由梅戈戈老师创办的，每星期六上午在General Byng High School
体育馆练习。梅老师离开温尼伯后，太极班由他的高徒或从国内出来的太极拳师傅担任教练。
梅老师调教出来的学生后来把太极拳在非华裔的当地社区推广而造福更多的人群。中院太极拳
班，虽然前后更换了数名教师和教练。但这个科目仍然坚持办了下来，而且在活动的内容上有
所扩大，在组织形式上进一步创新。目前除教授成人太极拳和太极剑传统武术项目， 还组织了
小学生武术班。
• 中文图书部
中文学院中文班设立有一个小图书室， 以儿童读物和教附材料为主。 多年来， 中文学院一直

28

缅省中院

考虑设立一个图书馆以增进文化服务。 1984年配合中院十周年院庆，并以捐献图书的方式，
在温尼伯千禧图书馆 (Millennium Library) 成立一个中文图书部，在中国政府的帮助下首批捐
献图书六百多册，以文史著作居多，亦包括一部分有关中国之英文版本。
• 多元文化活动
中文学院是本省民主艺术协会， 国际中心公民协会，缅省民族文化咨询会等多元文化组织的成
员，历年来均积极参加过种种促进多元文化的活动。
• 中文学院的团结促进活动
过去四十年间，中文学院一直主动寻求促进华社之间团结的机会。中文学院参加过华人联谊会
的圣诞联欢和中秋游河；石安台老人院的敬老会，曼大中国同学会的中国之夜；中华学院和中
华会馆主持的民风节，缅华公会的缅华运动会和“支援东南亚难民委员会”，缅省华报的华埠
前途和其他议题的座谈会，平权会的加华一百二十五周年庆典和华社发展研习会等。
中文学院曾主办过一次有关筹建中华文化中心的社区公开讨论会， 也参与过号召华社合办民风
节中国馆的种种努力。 中院除了诚恳地邀请别的社团来参加中院的活动外， 也曾联合过其他
华裔组织，共同举办联谊性，文化性，或教育性的一些活动。 中文学院是温城华社联合举办新
年庆祝会的发起人和主要策划团体之一。中文学院创办的中华杯篮球赛已经成为每年举办的华
人社区康乐活动之一。
• 中文学院的经费来源
中文学院是个百分之百的义务团体， 它的经费来自政府有限的赞助，有限的学费和筹款活动。
政府的资助限于联邦政府国务院和省政府文化部为组织祖语教育和推展多元文化而设立的定额
奖助金。这些资助一直逐渐减少，近几年来已完全断绝了。目前中院为了得到政府有限的赞
助，每年需要组织教师和家长去做义工(BINGO)换取政府的支持。
学费则来自中文班学生和太极班等班队的学员，但仅是象征性的有限数额。学院的活动经费主
要是以学院筹款为主，以及学生家长和社会人士的慷慨捐献。

实际上，中文学院能在十分有限的资源下顺利发展，最重要的原因是中文学院全体工作人员的
无偿劳动。除了近年来发给老师们的一点交通补贴，中院的理事，工作委员会，和各团队工作
人员没有接受过一分一毫的报酬，而且他们经常还向中文学院捐款。

中文学院的建树

中文学院在成长的四十年，已经取得了一些值得自豪的成就。在中文教育方面，中文学院在教
学行政，课程设计，教材编写，教学方法等方面都能够在不断尝试和不断改良中达到客观的水
平。她的祖语教学经验，在本省民族的祖语教育机构群中，被认为是一个值得学习的模范，中
文学院的代表积极地参与教育部主办的历次祖语教育会议并作出笃实贡献。中文班的教师是曾
在全省祖语教师研习会中担任讲员并主持专题讨论。中文学院亦在缅省祖语促进会成立时参与
策划工作。1984年，中文学院发起，而且全力支持温尼伯市首届中文教师研讨会，为本省中文
教育课程方案催生。

29

缅省中院

中文学院曾全力赞助1978年的加拿大中文教育调查，为本国的中文教育实况提供了不少珍贵的
资料。一九八二年，中文学院发起，并主办了第一届全加中文教育会议，促成了全加中文学校
协会之组建。在其后的历届全加中文学校教育会议中，中文学院都作出了出色和重大的贡献。
一九九四年，为了庆祝本院成立二十周年，中院再次主办了另一次成功的全加中文学校教育会
议。中院在加国中文教育界所享有的崇高声誉诚非偶然。

中文学院致力发扬中华文化的工作向不后人。除了学院内部的活动，她一直积极支持当地的多
元文化事业。中院曾经为华社的一些文化活动扮演过前导和模范的角色：温尼伯市太极拳运动
的盛行，华文报刊的创立，中文歌咏队伍的衍生等， 都和中院有无法漠视或回避的渊源。在全
国或本省范围内的主要民族文化教育社群里，例如全加中文学校协会，缅省民族文化咨议会，
缅省母语教育促进会等，中院不但都有积极的参与，提供过具体的贡献，而且在各民族文化社
群中树立了良好的形象，是为华裔增光不浅。作为政府补助金的受惠者，中院的文化活动不但
深获重视，她的活动报告书亦收到有关政府的赞许，中院的财务制度曾被省政府评定为民间义
务社团的典范。

中院为争取华裔团结所作出的努力是有目共睹的。无论是本市，本省和全加拿大，中院一直不
放弃任何促进华社联合举办活动的机会。在温尼伯，农历新年庆典，中华杯蓝球赛， 中华夏令
营等都是具体的实例。在全国范畴内，最显著的例子是促成了全加中文学校协会和多伦多华裔
语文中心之间的重新携手合作。

做为本地华社的资深文教机构，中院一直关怀加拿大华裔的平等地位和权益，曾经不断地针对
任何影响整体华社福利的课题，包括国家统一，移民难民政策，人权，人头税等等，都及时地
表达了庄严的立场，公允的意见，和建设性的主张。中院在维护民族尊严，反对种族歧视和争
取少数民族权益方面， 屡次挺身而出，仗义执言，深受其他民族社区之敬重。
另外，中文学院一直积极主动地参与国际上的人道主义援助，比如发生了中国四川和海地地震
以及印尼海啸等自然灾害时，中文学院均给予了极大的关注。学院分别举办了各项募款活动，
在灾害发生后对灾区的人民送去了关心和经济救援。

此外，中文学院原理事长丘才廉先生和原理事长杨爱芳女士更是以身作则。他们夫妇在中国云
南贫困地区发起了希望工程的活动并援建了多所小学，多年来为当地山区的儿童的教育无私地
提供经济上的援助。这项工程现在还在继续。概括地说，在华裔社区中，中文学院创立以后的
民主开放作风，公正无私立场和坦诚服务态度，已经获得社区的广泛重视。中院的一些新老会
员，多在其他华裔社区中担任重要的职务，中院四十年来不懈的团结活动，已经在本地华社发
挥出肯定的潜移默化作用，其成就显然远远地超越了其他中文学校的设办目标。
中文学院的建树是她的成员四十年来共同心血的结晶，学院的明确宗旨和其健全的组织，使这
一群对中华文化有诚挚的珍惜，对中国语文有真实的器重，和对华裔前途有真诚的关怀的人，
能够发挥他们的抱负而作出贡献，其意义是十分深远的。

缅省中文学院院徽

缅省中文学院院徽的结构是一片枫叶和它中央的一个“文”字。

该“文”字形似孩童。头部圆体象征本院的宗旨和理想；平伸的手臂寓意平等、公开和友善。
躯体部分由两个“C”字组成，分别代表两种不同的社区或文化；它们的联结，象征两者之间
的交流与融合。

枫叶采用加拿大国旗所用的颜色。金黄色可视为中华民族的标志，同时又蕴含着崇高、宝贵和
光明的意义。
The logo consists of a Chinese character “WEN” in the centre of a Canadian Maple Leaf.

The stylized word “WEN” also resembles a child’s figure. The solid sphere, its head,
represents our goals and aspirations. The horizontal bar, its out-stretched arms, signifies
equality, openness and friendship. The conjoined two “C”s, its body, represent two
contrasting communities and cultures, cross-linked to mean interchange and harmonization.

The red colour of the Maple Leaf flag is self explanatory. The golden yellow colour
represents our ethnic origin; it also signifies treasure, dignity and opportunity.
