A Review of “A Study on the Status of HUAYU Life in Southeast Asian Chinese Communities”[1]

Fu Zheng

Abstract: The Study on the Status of HUAYU Life in Southeast Asian Chinese Communities focuses on Southeast Asian Chinese communities as its core research subjects. It systematically investigates the acquisition, usage, attitudes, Chinese-language media consumption, and HUAYU education within Chinese communities across five countries: Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Laos. Building upon this foundation, the study zeroes in on Indonesia, using its five major cities as representative examples to provide a detailed account of the HUAYU landscape in Indonesia. Finally, it addresses current topics by analyzing the familiarity of international students from Belt and Road countries with trending Chinese words and phrases, alongside examining the usage of Southeast Asian Chinese-language buzzwords in Chinese-language media. Through substantial empirical research and a multidimensional analytical framework, this book not only reveals the diverse ecosystem of HUAYU life in Southeast Asia but also makes significant contributions to overseas Chinese studies, international HUAYU dissemination, and HUAYU education in terms of theoretical construction, methodological innovation, and practical guidance. It stands as an outstanding work combining academic depth and practical value.
