On August 27th, the "From Zhuji Alley to the World" Guangfu Cultural Exchange Tour held an event in Jakarta, Indonesia. Detailed historical exhibitions, authentic Cantonese opera excerpts and humorous Cantonese stand-up comedy allowed the millennium-old Zhuji cultural heritage to beautifully intertwine with the archipelagic nation's diverse culture. Overseas Chinese of all generations in Indonesia marveled at the event, saying they had gained a new understanding of Cantonese opera and experienced a surprising encounter with the legacy of Zhuji Alley.

Zhuji Alley is the ancestral home of Guangdong's early pioneers. Centuries ago, waves of Guangdong people set out from the alley, migrating southward before sailing across the ocean to Southeast Asia. They brought Cantonese language, opera and folk customs to this vibrant land and took root there.

Huang Xian'an, secretary-general of the Perhimpunan Warga Guangzhao Seluruh Indonesia, noted that many Indonesian Chinese are descendants of the Guangfu people. However, the promotion of Guangfu culture in the region has been somewhat insufficient in recent years. Calling the exchange event highly timely, Huang said he hopes it will serve as an opportunity to further advance the dissemination and preservation of Guangfu culture in Indonesia.

广府文化海外交流活动在印尼举办展演

8月27日，“走出珠玑巷”广府文化海外交流活动在印度尼西亚雅加达举行活动。翔实生动的历史展览、原汁原味的粤剧唱段和有趣幽默的粤语脱口秀，让千年珠玑文脉与千岛之国的多元文化交相辉映，印尼新老侨民感叹：重新“认识”粤剧，惊喜邂逅“珠玑”。

珠玑巷，是广东先民的故里。千百年前，一批批广东人从珠玑巷启程，南迁漂泊，又远渡重洋来到东南亚，把广府的语言、戏曲、民俗风情带来这片热土，并扎根于此。

印尼广肇总会秘书长黄贤安表示，印尼华人中有不少广府后裔，但近年来广府文化在当地的传播力度有所不足，此次交流活动恰逢其时，希望以此为契机，进一步推动广府文化在印尼的传播与传承。
