新加坡潮汕留学生联合会（新潮留）是一个成立短短十四年的中留学生团体。它是平凡而又特殊的，它的成立是依靠新加坡华侨社团的扶持，它的加入条件，必须符合严格的地域标签和社会身份。同时，它介于新移民和旧华侨之间的双重身份，为它带来了更多的有利条件，让他们能更迅速、更便捷地适应新的国土，而这一切都来自于他们共同的祖先在南洋这块土地上的累积。在新加坡目前社会之中，新移民的融入俨然已经成为炙热的话题。而它在这个时代下得以发挥自身的优势，以旧华侨组织 – 新加坡潮州八邑会馆，作为家长去带领新潮留融入本地社会，去解开留学生的困境。它在向世人展示新移民的全新样貌，以自身的努力去反驳人们对于留学生的刻板印象。为此，我们将从探索潮汕文化开始，探寻早期潮汕人在南洋的打拼奋斗史，最终将视角转回到现代，从不同角度去探讨新潮留在本地的发展可能，或者这将为 21 世纪新移民所遭遇的困境理出一条新思路。The Singapore Teochew Students’ Association (Xinchaoliu) is a new Chinese migrant student organization founded 14 years ago. It is uniquely supported by the Singapore local Chinese community. To join this association, strict prerequisite of regional identity must be followed. Its dual label in between the new migrants and the old Overseas Chinese gives them more advantages over other organizations in helping members adapt to the new environment. All these come from collective identity of hardship that their common ancestor endured in Nanyang. Nowadays, the integration and assimilation of new Chinese migrants have become an issue in the Singapore society. However, the Singapore Teochew Students’ Association is able to benefit from the linkages with the traditional Chinese social organizations, Singapore Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan. They demonstrate new image of the Chinese new migrants, as compared to the stereotypes and traditional impression of Chinese students. This research first defines the Teochew culture and then traces the history of early Teochew in Southeast Asia. It studies the case of Singapore Teochew Students’ Association to provide new perspective on social issues of new migrants in the 21st century.
