Viewed more closely, studying at a college or university in Taiwan can be seen as a logical extension of Chinese-language education in Malaysia. If it weren't for the special conditions of Chinese-language education there, tens of thousands of Chinese-Malaysian youngsters would never have come all the way here during the past 30 years to "grind their ink stones beneath the same window," as the ancient Chinese phrase puts it.
更深一層來看，來台灣接受大專教育可說是馬來西亞華教的延伸，沒有大馬特殊的華教環境，就不會促成卅年來數以萬計的華裔子弟在台灣「同窗共硯」。
