PETALING JAYA: The Qiaopi History and Culture Exhibition kicked off in Kuala Lumpur, attracting over 500 visitors, including representatives from Malaysian Chinese associations, prominent overseas Chinese leaders, and students from Chinese schools.
This event, held in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia, aims to evoke nostalgia and deepen the younger generation’s understanding of Chinese culture through the unique historical practice of “qiaopi.”
“Qiao” means emigrants and “pi” means letters. The term “qiaopi,“ meaning letters sent with money by Chinese emigrants, has its origins in the Wuyi areas of Guangdong, China and holds a special place in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.
