Needs You
As A
Writer
NU Students Survey Bong Kong Culture
By SUE HOVIK
Nebraskan Staff Writer
What is your motivation for
going to college?
Many Chinese students who
attend college in the British
Crown Colony of Hong Kong
seek a better income to help
support then- parents, broth
ers and sisters.
This is just one of the many
cultural differences between
Chinese and American life
that Ray Preston and Virg
Wagner learned and finally
understood when they spent
the summer at a work camp
in Hong Kong.
In the colony where 60 per
cent of the three and one
fourth million people are un
der the age of 21, the Uni
versity of Hong Kong is the
only accredited institution of
higher learning said Preston,
This university can only ac
commodate 1,500 students.
He further explained that
there are several post-secondary
colleges which do not
give degrees that can handle
a total of 2,500 students.
Wagner noted that another
problem of the Hong Kong
education system is that they
give no tests to see what stu
dents know. To enter a uni
versity the student must have
a certificate from an English
school.
Preston added that he knew
of one intelligent student, flu
ent in Russian and English,
who had studied in Red China
who had to go back to school
before he could enroll in a
university. Education is a
problem because of the lack
of schools and teachers, he
continued.
Inter-racial Group
The inter-racial group of
Americans worked with eight
Chinese students at the work
camp. Wagner said that four
of the Chinese students were
from Hong Kong, two f r o m
Taiwan, one from Malaya and
one from Red China. He em
phasized that they were all at
the top of their class.
The Americans were all
Protestant and all of the Chi
nese students except one
were followers of a mixture
of Chinese philosophies. The
one exception was a follower
of Confucius. Average age of
all of the students was 20.
Preston said that these stu
dents also came from a cross
section of the economic struc
ture " of the Chinese soci
ety. He further explained that
this cross section was good
because the Chinese have dif
ferent opinions and ideas in
different parts of Asia.
"The four different areas
that we were associated with
brought to us a larger view
of Asian culture. All of them
spoke different dialects,"
Preston said. He added that
language is a basic problem
with the Chinese because of
the thousands of different dia
lects that prevail in different
parts of the country.
Wagner explained that an
other facet of Chinese culture
was illustrated by the fact
that they did not question the
Americans about the United
States or its policies. Howev
er, he added that they did
volunteer information.
Chinese have a strong fam
ily tradition and the average
Chinese thinks that the more
children he has the better off
he will be in his old age, con
tinued Wagner.
Wagner said that there is
an extreme shortage of jobs
with the overpopulation prob
lem and there is also a se
vere water snortage. Tney
have reservoirs of rain water
which supplies the colony. He
said that when they left Hong
Kong at the end of the sum
mer they could get water on
ly five hours a day.
Water Shortage
He explained that the res
ervoir should have been full
at that time of the year, but
it was only one-third full.
Thev will continue to ration it
down and then get water
from Red China, he contin
ued.
Wagner said that the aver
age worker puts in nearly 13
hours a day for $1.05. About
40,000 people live on the
streets and 135,000 live on
boats. He said that it is a
colony of contrast because
there are also some very rich
Chinese.
Preston said that because
of the refugee problem, many
people living in Hong Kong
are essentially people without
a country. "They don t accept
colony government and want
to go back to the mainland
yet they don't like the Com
munist government any bet
ter," he explained.
He added that the Commu
nists have failed in one area
because they divided the fam
ily and this is not good be
cause the family is such a
strong institution in China.
Escape Easy
He said that compared to
the Berlin wall it is easy to
escape although the Commu
nists try to keep them in and
the British try to keep them
out because of the overcrowd
ing problem. He explained
that it is hard to measure
the number of refugees that
flee but it averages between
115-200 persons a day.
Wagner continued by citing
a Communist propaganda
move last May. They let Chi
nese go through the gates
without a visa. Approximate
ly 75,000 Chinese went to
Hong Kong and that many or
more were turned back at the
border.
The British finally had to
gather up some of the refu
gees, feed them one good
meal, and send them back in
trucks to Communist China
because of the overcrowding.
The Communists then used
this tactic to show the masses
that the Pntish didn't want
thrm either. They finally en
icrced the visa requirement
again.
However, Wagner empha
sized that the British govern
ment is doing a great deal
to help the refugees. They are
building a new settlement
house every five days which
will house 2,500 people and a
school every four days. There
is a very little in the field of
relocations programs.
The colony is 392 square
miles in area and is mostly
steep hills. Preston said the
refugees are looking for some
thing better but they don't
find it because of the prob
lems. Hong Kong to them is
the end, not a stepping stone,
because to go on they need
more money and intelligence.
Preston and Wagner worked
at the YMCA Nutrition Camp
which is located on Junk Bay.
For three weeks they worked
four hours in the morning
building a retaining wall and
in the afternoon they had lec
ture and discussion on Asian
cultures and problems in
Hong Kong.
On Common Ground
Preston explained that the
idea of work project was to
put the Americans on com
mon ground with the Chinese
and help to bre ak down
cultural barriers. When they
were working together they
weren't pictured as loafing
Americans.
At this camp they would
bring children from the settle
ment schools where they
vould get recreation, food,
schooling and a different en
vironment. In the actual construction
work they transported cement
and sand in baskets by hand
up a 45 degree incline. How
ever, they disclosed that they
spent most of the total time
there talking to the students
and learning from them.
After spending the time in
Hong Kong the American stu
dents spent a week at a Chris
tian Mission for B u d d h i s t
monks which is on the Hill
of Truth. They studied the
basic philosophies of the Chi
nese culture.
Both Preston and .Wagner
emphatically stressed that
the statements they have
made about the Chinese peo
ple and their culture are
based completely on the peo
ple they came in contact with
and the thoughts formed be
cause of this contact.
Premium Education
Wagner said that the single
event he will remember from
the summer is that he now
realizes what a premium ed
ucation actually comes at and
just how hard people will
fight for goals and ideals and
the sacrifice they will go
through.
"We are better able to un
derstand ourselves when we
take time and effort to un
derstand another culture. We
don't realize how lucky we
are with all we have. The
friends we made were also
very important in making it
a successful experience, con
cluded Preston.
Their trip was sponsored by
the West Central Area Stu
dent Council of the YMCA's.

Here's how we started. First incorporated as The Luther Union, our
fraternal life insurance society was formed by nine distinguished Lu
therans during a 1917 church convention in St. Paul, After borrowing
$6,0fX) to cover the expenses of obtaining applications, the society
issued its first life insurance policies in 1918. Here's what we do. We
offer a variety of life insurance, health insurance and retirement plans
to all Lutherans. (Purchase of a policy automatically qualifies you as
a member of Lutheran Brotherhood.) We also aid the Lutheran Church
through an extensive benevolence and fraternal activities program.
Here's how we're rowing. With more than 1 billion dollars of
insurance in force in June, 1962, Lutheran Brotherhood now is among
the leaders of all organizations operating in the insurance field. Sur
plus, assets, investment earnings and benefits paid to Society members
have also risen phenomenally during the past few years. Here's how
the future looks. Although Lutheran Brotherhood's gains in all phases
of its operation have been sizeable, the management and directors pre
dict even greater growth. More and more Lutherans are realizing that
Lutheran Brotherhood offers both amazingly low-cost security and a
sound investment opportunity.
