【保健養生】- 中醫保健講座

【保健養生】在我們的青葱歲月，「英華」這兩個字與病痛通常扯不上任何關係；不料到了我們更能體會「寸陰是惜」的今天，「英華」又給我們輕鬆上了一課，也讓同氣連枝的兩間學校校友，在短短約一個小時內，獲益良多。
英華書院及英華女校的校友會邀請了YWC的校友中醫師徐澤昌博士(2003屆)為校友主持中醫保健講座，講座已於上周五（8月19日）晚上，在YWC的多用途活動室圓滿舉行。
當晚主持林漢傑(2005屆)及徐博士以清談形式，帶領現場及線上，一起探討都市人經常面對的健康困擾，包括痛症、更年期前後，以及脫髮等問題。徐博士不但為兩校校友破解了不少健康迷思，還即場提供了許多保健養生實用貼士。
講座答問環節，反應最為熱烈。兩校校友提問非常踴躍，林林總總的問題涵蓋新冠肺炎患者的調理、耳鳴、食療等。可惜當晚時間所限，即使校友意猶未盡，校友會亦唯有待日後再邀請徐博士，與校友一起探討了。
是次講座更獲YWC校友贊助與中西醫、保健養生、食療、纖體、美顏等內容相關的書籍，現場免費贈閲，以供兩校關注健康的校友參考。
是次活動是兩校校友會近年首次攜手合辦的活動，大家覺得如何呢？請留言告訴我們吧！🙏🏻我們很期待下次在校友會其他活動遇上您！😊

「英華教育基金」由校友會於2012年成立，集合校友、學校、校董會及家長教師會等多方資源力量，為學校籌募經費，讓學校有更充裕的資源去提升英華學生的學術水平及各種天賦才華。英華為「直資」學校，財政需自負盈虧，亦須儲備資金作未來發展。有見及此，「英華教育基金」每年都連同書院、小學、兩家長教師會，以及校友會舉辦步行籌款活動，藉此籌募經費。

[ Milestones Marking the Birth of Ying Wa College]


The Indo-Chinese Gleaner (1817-1822) & The General Plan of the Anglo-Chinese College forming at Malacca (October 1818) has came home. ⛪️

The Indo-Chinese Gleaner (ICG), an English quarterly magazine published by the Anglo-Chinese College in Malacca from 1817* to 1822, is a pioneer publication introducing to Western readers a wide range of topics including the literature, culture and politics of China and Asia. It is one of the first English magazines published in Asia, an important milestone in the history of protestant missionary work in Asia.

For Ying Wa boys, the ICG is also an important milestone: it is one of the first items ever printed and published by Ying Wa College which also contains key information on the founding and early history of Ying Wa College. The ICG served as the platform for Ying Wa and its members to share news and their latest findings on various topics, almost like a Facebook page for the first 5 years of Ying Wa.

The ICG is also the brainchild of Robert Morrison and William Milne (from its origination, direction, contribution of articles to its finance), and very likely its printing was physically handled by Leung Faat (in his capacity as the chief Chinese printing worker of Ying Wa).

In Morrison’s own words, the ICG: “intended to promote the same objects as the College, “The reciprocal cultivation of English and Chinese literature, and the diffusion of Christian sentiments.””

A group of 17 old boys from Morrison House, Milne House and Leung Faat House, after 4 months of extensive research and planning, with assistance from and consultation with Ying Wa College and YWC Heritage & Archives (Chapter of OBA), purchased a near complete set of the ICG from a reputable antique book dealer in London, and brought it back home tonight.

This set of the ICG was also bound with the rare and valuable 3-page prospectus of Ying Wa dated October 1818 and named “General Plan of the Anglo-Chinese College forming at Malacca”, which was printed for general distribution in Malacca before the ceremony of laying the foundation stone.

Heart felt appreciation to all donors for their support on this project. They are:

Lead Donors
Ma Chung Ho (1992)
Hau Wai Man (1992)
Chan Yuk Wah (1995)
Lo Yu Hin (1995)
Tso Wing Yin (1995)
Heyse Ngan (1997)
Li Chun Wai (1999)
Chan Kwun Yin (2000)
Brian Li (2000)
Long Ngan (2000)

Supporting Donors
Fong Chin Wan (1967)
Ho Chung Hang (1995)
Tam Yee Lak (1995)
Lee Chun Wai Simon (1998)
Huang Wai Ka (1999)

Junior Donors
Chan Sui Yuen (1998)
Ng Chi Wai (2000)

The spirit of bringing the ICG and the General Plan back to Ying Wa is more than preserving an old book. While Morrison, Milne, Leung and our Malacca campus are long gone and no where to be found, this very object is now back in our hands. Its presence would help generations of Ying Wa boys to transcend time and space to the very beginning of our mother school.

If you are interested to make similar donation to help bring our cultural relics back to the Home of Our Youth, please feel free to contact us.

*The printing press, completed before the laying of the foundation stone of the school on 11 Nov 1818, was considered as part of the College.
