Muar Chung Hwa Students Explore Life Education with Gratitude

A cemetery is not only a place to honor ancestors and trace a family’s roots, but it can also serve as a living classroom for life education.

A group of 37 teachers and students from the Counseling Department of Muar Chung Hwa High School recently visited Xiao En Memorial Park. They carried with them a deep appreciation for the hard-earned value of Chinese education. During their visit, they requested to pay tribute at the grave of their late teacher, Mr. Bock Tai Hee, as a gesture of gratitude for his contributions.

This simple act allowed students to personally experience the profound role and meaning of a cemetery. It added a layer of reflection and gratitude to their life education journey.
