After reading the text "Tan Kah Kee runs a school", I learned that Xiamen University was originally run by Tan Kah Kee, and he also used all his savings to run many schools.

The text tells us that Tan Kah Kee was very anxious as soon as he knew that the children could not go to school, and he also thought: children are the future of the motherland, what will happen if they cannot go to school? This fully demonstrates Tan Kah Kee’s patriotism.

In the text, he took out his savings to show that he generously donated his hard-earned money without reservation for the future of his children and the revitalization of the nation. His dialogue with his wife fully demonstrated his lofty spirit of putting national interests first and being willing to sacrifice personal interests.

My favorite famous quote by Tan Kah Kee: When thinking about social undertakings, you should do it whenever you can, and do it gradually. If you want to wait until you are rich, then you will have nothing to do.

Tan Kah Kee, you have closely linked your destiny with the destiny of your hometown and ancestral family. You have dedicated your life to building your hometown and serving the motherland. You have contributed your best to the education of your hometown for decades. With all his strength, he has been living a simple life, which shows the deep patriotism of an overseas Chinese.
