大家好！我是中国华侨历史博物馆副馆长宁一，很高兴有机会带大家领略华侨的历史与文化。
中国人移民海外的历史悠久，特别是近代以来，随着几次大规模的移民浪潮，华侨华人广泛分布于世界各地，形成了“有海水的地方就有华人”的局面。华侨华人筚路蓝缕、胼手胝足在异国他乡扎根生存，与住在国人民和睦相处、融合共生，在海外传承弘扬中华优秀传统文化，始终心系祖籍国，为中国各项事业的发展发挥着独特的作用。
【半幅残联见证历史，华侨结社互助克难】
——“通中外乐成团体”牌匾
为满足生存发展的需要，海外侨胞建立起众多的社团组织。这些海外侨团发挥了举足轻重的作用，成为传统海外华侨社会的三大支柱之一。
这块写着“通中外乐成团体”的楹联牌匾来自秘鲁中华通惠总局。19世纪中叶，第一批华侨来到秘鲁，从事繁重的体力劳动。为了团结当地华侨，维护他们的权益，清政府驻秘鲁公使郑藻如于1886年发起成立了通惠总局，成为秘鲁华侨的全国性总机构。“通中外乐成团体，惠工商义重合群”代表了该社团的宗旨与目标。
【助力革命事业，翻开历史新局】
——三十六誓词
侨博收藏着一份现存极其稀有的古巴洪门入会三十六誓词。这份誓词的材质为白棉布，通篇为繁体楷书，共1790字。三十六誓词规定了洪门组织的活动原则和成员的基本权利义务，类似于家法或帮规，是洪门组织的重要文献。
海外洪门原为华侨社会中的秘密会社。进入近代后，在先进思想的影响下，它和其他华侨团体一道，积极投身推翻帝制的革命事业，在中国近代史上写下浓墨重彩的一笔，留下了属于华侨的佳话篇章。
【八十载岁月流转，念侨胞输财救国】
——木质印章
岁月失语，惟物能言。这是一枚木质印章，印面上镌刻着“星洲机器行暨全星机工筹赈祖国难民委员会”。这个“委员会”，是南洋华侨筹赈祖国难民总会的分支机构之一。在艰苦的战争中，海外华侨爆发出极大的爱国热忱，他们团结一致，纷纷建立起救国团体。其中最有名的当属南洋华侨筹赈祖国难民总会，他们不仅积极筹措经费物资，还组织动员了3200多名华侨青年组成“南洋华侨机工回国服务团”，不远万里支援祖国。这枚印章虽然历经80多年的岁月流转，显得有些斑驳老旧，但印面上镌刻着的字样依然清晰可见，犹如一位长者，向世人娓娓述说着南洋华侨倾尽全力、支援祖国的光辉历史和突出贡献。
回顾过去，是为了更好面向未来。今天，海外侨团日益成为凝聚侨心、汇集侨智、发挥侨力一支不可替代的力量，成为中华优秀传统文化在海外重要的传承载体。中国华侨历史博物馆将继续深入研究、展示、传播华侨的历史与文化，更好发挥华侨文物以史鉴今、传史育人的作用。
