Abstract
The author discusses the characteristics of contemporary Chinese education in the context of globalization and internalization. Professor Zhang points out that the concept of Chinese includes not only the 56 ethnic groups inhabiting in China, but also Chinese descendants overseas. The author argued that all Chinese people have a common basis of identification: four words, 'Zhong He Wei Yu'(center, harmony, position, birth), By analyzing and expatiating on Chinese characters the author argues that 'Wei Yu' does not mean a simple adaptation, but means to interact and communicate with other's culture by utilizing the characteristics and specialties of the main body of Chinese culture, by which we can reach a situation of 'enjoying where we are and what we have; knowing where we go and making a better life for us in whatever environment.'
