New Asia Spirit

The establishment of New Asia College is grounded on the founders’ noble educational vision and their persevering spirit. Mr. Ch’ien Mu regarded the New Asia Spirit not only long-suffering, but long-suffering for our ideals. Without noble aspirations, striving in suffering is meaningless. It is self-afflicted. One of the ambitions of the founders of New Asia like Ch’ien Mu, Tang Chun-i, Tchang Pi-kai, and more is to preserve the fine culture of China.

 

For 70 years, the aspirations of both teachers and students of New Asia have yet to materialise, but the people of New Asia never forget the spirit of our school’s foundation. Below are some of the many articles regarding the spirit of New Asia.
