In recent years, people around the world have gradually come to a consensus about the importance of preserving their cultural heritage. In the R.O.C., historic sites have been classified into various categories for protection and maintenance, and in Malaysia, which is home to the largest overseas Chinese population in the world, the government is paying special attention to the preservation of historic Chinese buildings and monuments.
以往前者總是不敵；幸好近年來國際社會對保存文化財已漸具共識，不只我們將古蹟分級、維修，甚至連擁有海外華人最多的馬來西亞政府，亦已注意到華人歷史古蹟的保存問題。
