Jeffrey Eng – Teochew Qiaopi of Singapore & China Part 3 | Chronicles of Old Singapore

<p>Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Jeffrey Eng talks to me about the old Teochew areas in Chinatown and River Valley, the Ellenborough Market fire of 1968 during the Chinese New Year and the Teochew names of streets. We also reflect on the Speak Mandarin Campaign debate arising from the film Dear You, and how the campaign has prevented younger Teochews from knowing the language.</p><p><br></p><p>Part 1 | https://youtu.be/WdXYrCIj3UI </p><p>Part 2 | https://youtu.be/H95nfHI9yrM </p><p>Part 3 | https://youtu.be/89Vj7nBG3s4</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Teochews in Old Chinatown</p><p>06:37 The Ellenborough Market Fire</p><p>11:52 Teochew Place Names</p><p>15:13 Teochew, My Mother Tongue</p><p>18:57 Speak Mandarin</p><p>24:20 Learning Teochew</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.
