Taishanese overseas Chinese not only introduced new knowledge and ideas to save the country; they also put an emphasis on their children's education. "Overseas Chinese who tried to make a living outside were often tyrannized because of their illiteracy and lack of cultivation. Therefore, they particularly hoped that their descendants would never suffer the same way," says Zhu Yojing, supervisor of the Taiwan Affairs Office of Taishan.
台山僑胞不僅引進新知識及新觀念以救國，對子弟的教育也十分注重：「僑胞在外面討生活，常常因為沒有文化、識字不多而被欺負，因此他們特別希望子弟不要再吃同樣的苦頭」，台山市台灣事務辦公室主任朱有京認為。
