This year, as the National Library of Singapore holds a special exhibition memorializing Tan, we turn to Singapore-born, Jimei-educated historian Chen Yiming, former deputy director of the Overseas Chinese Museum in Xiamen, to tell the tale of the early days of this remarkable leader of the Chinese community.
此次趁新加坡國家圖書館舉辦陳嘉庚特展，本刊特商請新加坡出生、集美中學及廈門大學畢業，曾主持中國廈門華僑博物院的知名學者陳毅明，就陳嘉庚早年在僑居地的事蹟進行報導，俾能從另一角度，更完整地觀照這一代僑領波瀾壯闊的一生。
