The exhibition displays three qiaopi from Ning Xiangyu. The first was written in December 1953 to his son. In the letter, he repeatedly urged his son to "be a good person." At the same time, he also expressed his identification with and longing for New China.

　　The second qiaopi from Ning Xiangyu was sent from Jakarta to his son in 1961. The letter mentions his work in the local community over the years, as well as his organization of rehearsals for the Peking opera Jin Yunü. He also spelled out how the mailed supplies—food, clothing, cod liver oil capsules, belts, and other items—should be distributed.

　　The third is a qiaopi sent by Ning Xiangyu from Jakarta to his daughter-in-law in 1965. Written on the tenth anniversary of the Bandung Conference, it records, from the perspective of a firsthand participant, the historic moment when Shandong overseas Chinese took part in a major diplomatic event of New China.

　　Wang Qingfu, the "Martin Luther King of Chinese People": Founder of America's First Chinese-Language Newspaper

　　On display at the exhibition is a replica of a qiaopi sent from Chicago to Yantai in 1896. Its sender was Wang Qingfu, whose ancestral home was Jimo, Shandong. He was one of the first five Chinese students to study in the United States and a renowned Chinese-American civil rights activist of 19th-century America, honored as "the Martin Luther King of Chinese people." As anti-Chinese sentiment rose steadily in 19th-century America, Wang Qingfu traveled across the country, giving lecture tours and writing articles to help American society better understand China and dispel anti-Chinese prejudice and violent rhetoric, becoming the first Chinese person to spread and explain Chinese culture to the American public. In February 1883, he founded the Chinese American News in New York, America's first Chinese-language newspaper, where he first proposed the concept of "Chinese Americans."
