东华义庄设于香港,除对本地贫寒民众给予施棺或免费掩埋等优惠之外,还负有将世界各地的华人先辈的棺柩、骨骸运回家乡的职责。东华义庄的历史是香港乃至中国近代慈善史不可或缺的一页,也从侧面反映了全球化时代华人艰难的创业历程。本文对叶汉明教授编著的东华义庄资料集给予高度评价,认为全书将文献选编和实地踏勘相结合,具有很高的学术价值。 Tung Wah Group is located in Hong Kong. In addition to giving preferential treatment to poor local people such as coffins or free burial, Tung Wah Group also owns the responsibility of returning coffins and bone bones from Chinese forerunners all over the world to their home villages. The history of Donghua Yizhuang is an indispensable page in the history of charity in Hong Kong and even in modern China. It also reflects the difficult start-up process of the Chinese in the era of globalization. This essay highly appraises the Donghua Yizhuang dataset compiled by Professor Ye Hanming and holds that the book combines the selection of documents with the reconnaissance of the field, which is of high academic value.
