On August 8, the China (Shantou) - Malaysia Economic, Trade and Cultural Cooperation and Exchange Conference and the Qiaopi History and Cultural Exhibition Themed “Three Rivers Run into the Sea and One Letter is Sent to Home”, were successfully held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Shantou and Malaysia carried out investment promotion, project signing, as well as exchange and matchmaking. A total of 33 projects were successfully signed, with a total amount of more than RMB 7 billion, further promoting Shantou and Malaysia to carry out higher-level exchanges and collaborations across more areas and in greater depth.
At the conference, the China - Malaysia Teochew Cuisine Cultural Exchange Center was inaugurated. On the venue, the activities of displaying and appraising Teochew cuisine and the Teochew Gongfu Tea ceremony performance were also organized. More than 10 kinds of traditional Teochew cuisine, including the peach-shaped kueh (rice cake), lion-headed goose, and beef meatballs, have entered Malaysia, so that Malaysian friends and many Teochew people in Malaysia can taste the delicacies from their hometown.
On the day of the event, the 2024 Qiaopi History and Cultural Exhibition Themed “Three Rivers Run into the Sea and One Letter is Sent to Home” was officially opened in Malaysia. Through nearly 200 pictures of Qiaopi (Correspondence and Remittance Documents from Overseas Chinese) and related documents, more than 100 meters of theme exhibition lines were strung together, and in particular, 20 Malaysian Qiaopi stories were incorporated into the Exhibition, forming a brilliant storytelling of the immigration history, entrepreneurial history and excellent spirit of overseas Chinese. In addition, the Exhibition will also incorporate the "hidden" Qiaopi into the special fine art display and interactive scenes, and it will be embedded with the elements of intangible cultural heritage such as Off the Garden, Yingge dance, Chaozhou Opera, Teochew cuisine, paper-cutting, and embedded porcelain, so that the visitors can perceive the Qiaopi cultural spirit in an immersive way, and experience the charm of Chaoshan culture.
