棉兰华人印象

An Impression on the Overseas Chinese in Medan

位于印度尼西亚外岛地区的苏北省棉兰市有50万华人在这里世代生存、发展和繁衍后代,他们是一个具有典型意义的群体,他们与当地民族一起团结奋斗,共同为棉兰的发展和进步做出贡献。与印度尼西亚其他地区华人一样,他们热爱印度尼西亚,建设印度尼西亚,已经成为印度尼西亚忠诚的公民。如果说棉兰的华人有什么不同的话,那就是他们更具有华人的特色,具有更高程度的国际化,他们与当地民族的关系也更为融洽,更为和谐。

In Medan, Indonesia, there are about 500 thousand overseas Chinese living and developing for genera- tions. They are a community with typical meaning, because they struggle with local people, and contribute to Medan＇s development and advancement . As same as the overseas Chinese in other areas in Indonesia, they love In- donesia and construct Indonesia as their hometown. They have become sincere citizens of Indonesia. But compared with the overseas Chinese in other areas in Indonesia, they have more Chinese features, internationalize more high- ly, and get along with local people more harmoniously.
