Ok….the first I will told you where is our destination now….

This is Tjong A Fie Mansion…..

Tjong A Fie was the Chinese Major in Medan, a first millionaire in Sumatra Indonesia.
In 1880 (I am not sure about the year….it’s always had different version …)Tjong A Fie left Moy Hian village, in Canton (China) to travel to Tanah Deli, At that time his brother Tjong Yong Hian had already been living in Sumatra for 5 years and had became a respected merchant in Sumatra.

These brothers were very good at seeing business opportunities…..so in a short time he has become very rich and had three wife ^^ ehehheheh rich people always had more than one right ^^

He became a well respected person in Medan Sumatra. As a well respected person in Medan who owns many plantations, palm oil and sugar factories, banks and railway companies, he employed more than 10.000 workers

Ok…now you know who is Tjong A fie…..^^

The old lady In this picture is the only one daughter who is still alive until now….^^

This is cina peranakan ….maybe you are curious…what is cina peranakan….its are terms used for the descendants of late 15th and 16th-century Chinese immigrants to the Nusantara region during the Colonial era.

So… maybe you can say that I am a peranakan too =3=,
not really happy about that…because I am Chinese who can’t live if u let me stay in China…maybe I will die in a minute ++

Most Peranakans are of Hoklo (Hokkien) ancestry… I am hokkien ^^ hi ^^
Although a sizable number are of Teochew or Cantonese descent. Originally, the Peranakan were mixed-race descendents, part Chinese, part Malay/Indonesian.
But in my family…we are 100% Chinese .

Well, this is the coffin of Tjong A Fie ... by the time he died there were so many people who take his departure .....

4 February 1921,
Tjong A Fie passed away from apopleksia or bleeding in the brain, in his home at Jalan Kesawan, Medan. It shook the city Medan, thousands flock to pay respect from all over including Sumatera Timur, Aceh, Padang, Penang, Malaysia, Singapore and Java. He became a legend known by many in Medan till today.

Four months before his death, Tjong A Fie wrote his will in the presence of notary Dirk Johan Facquin den Grave.
Written in his will, he wanted all his wealth to be managed by Yayasan Toen Moek Tong which was established in Medan and Sungkow at the time of his death.

The Yayasan based in Medan has been given 5 missions. Three of them are to provide financial help to young talented people that wished to complete their education, without no cultural or racial choice.

Yayasan will also help the disabled who are no longer able to work including the blind or those with fatal illness. Thirdly, the Yayasan will also help victims of natural disaster of any race or nationality.
