By Chung Cheng Alumnion July 29, 2022with Comments Off on The statue of “Zhongzheng Ren”, which symbolizes “The spirit of Zhongzheng culture”, situated on the campus of Chung Cheng High School at Goodman Road for half a century. It is now displayed at the National Art Museum as a cultural relics and art collection reflecting the history of Chung Cheng High School.
The statue of "Zhongzheng Ren" was erected on the shore of Zhongzheng Lake in 1969. When the late Chung Cheng High School’s art teacher Yang Huimin led the students to build this statue, he revealed that he hoped to express the concept of "tolerance is great, no desire is rigid" with the statue, and also echoed the spirit of "the middle of the right, the greatest to the most rigid " sung in the first sentence of the Zhongzheng School Song.
The National Art Museum has also opened its exhibition on July 28, 2022 as a permanent memorial to the original collection of “Zhongzheng Ren" in the sculpture works of Teacher Yang Huimin.
The exhibition runs from 29 July to 5 February 2023 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at The Spine Hall and Ngee Ann Central Hall, Ground Floor Hall, B1, National Gallery of Singapore (1 St Andrew's Rd #01-01S178958). Admission is free, including for non-citizens.
Mr Teo Lian Kiat, the Chairman of The Alumni of Chung Cheng High School, personally attended this exhibition to support the event.
