Malaysian-Chinese might be one of the peoples who take more effort in preserving Chinese culture than the Chinese themselves. I have heard this many times in Malaysia, as I travel inter-state. Some people feel that Chinese cultures are better preserved in some parts of Malaysia in another language, better than its original Chinese language. I do not have evidence to prove that, but what I can say is — judging from Malaysian dance company Dua Space’s performance of Ancient Inscriptions — the effort they devote in preserving these cultures is commendable.
