(Sibu, 10th) Sun De'an, the President of the World Chinese Writers Association, recently made a special visit to the Honorary Advisor of the Miri Writers' Association, Ms. Wen Suhua, to pay her New Year's greetings. On behalf of the conference organizing committee, he also accepted her generous sponsorship of event funds with a check of RM18,999. This sponsorship has become the first significant donation for the conference, injecting strong momentum into the preparations.
The meeting took place at CRUMB in a warm and congenial atmosphere. Miri cultural figures Li Youmei and Cai Sujiao also accompanied the gathering, with everyone exchanging Lunar New Year blessings.
Advisor Wen Suhua expressed that the 13th World Chinese Writers Conference being held in Miri is a great event for the local cultural scene. She is willing to take the lead in sponsoring the conference to provide the organizing committee with a stronger backing, ensuring smoother preparations for the event, and enabling Chinese writers from around the world to gather and exchange in Miri, jointly promoting the development of Chinese literature.
Speaking of her life experiences, Advisor Wen Suhua was filled with emotion. She recounted the ups and downs of her 79-year life journey, noting that she threw herself into the anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movement at the age of 16, braving gunfire during turbulent years. Later, she managed a stone factory with her father in the upper reaches of the Baram River, helping support the family business. Through relentless efforts in challenging environments, she succeeded in turning the business around. Over the years, she has always been committed to Chinese education, actively supporting the construction and development of Chinese primary and secondary schools in the Miri area, safeguarding and passing on Chinese culture through concrete actions.
In the field of social welfare, Wen Suhua has also made significant contributions. She has actively promoted Chinese community affairs and successfully organized the World Hoppo Clansmen Conference, which was a grand event. In addition, she is deeply concerned with the development of the medical field, having promoted the establishment of the “Most Caring Medical Personnel Award,” encouraging medical staff to show care for patients and enhance their spirit of service. This initiative has received widespread social acclaim and has helped create a warmer medical environment at Miri Hospital. In 2012, Miri Hospital was even awarded the government’s ISO quality award, bearing witness to the improvement of local healthcare services.
Wen Suhua frankly stated that as she has grown older, she has experienced two severe car accidents and suffered serious injuries from falls. She even spent a month in the hospital’s intensive care unit, enduring a test of life and death. She said that this experience allowed her to see life more clearly, firmly believing that "where there is giving, there will be gain." Therefore, in her lifetime, she is willing to "contribute money where she can, and effort where possible," doing all she can to give back to society, making her life more valuable, and her character more noble.
President Sun De'an expressed deep admiration for Advisor Wen Suhua's long-standing dedication to culture, education, and social welfare. He praised Wen Suhua as a broad-minded, compassionate, and highly socially responsible female leader, and stated that he would recommend her to serve as Vice Chairman of the World Chinese Writers Foundation in recognition of her outstanding contributions to cultural undertakings.
