本校日前迎來一場跨越國界的藝術盛宴。在馬來西亞被譽為「華人之光」的傑出校友─莊永瑞老師，與該國美術家協會八位藝術家，以「生命教育」為主題，分別於進德校區湖濱館五樓以及寶山校園與第十宿舍間約30米的連結通道共同揮灑畫筆，創作四幅充滿生命力與希望的壁畫，為校園注入溫暖而熠熠生輝的藝術能量！

藉由此次機緣，本校與馬來西亞美術家協會擬簽署合作備忘錄，期能持續促進雙方藝術家交流，同時協助大馬學生來校就學；陳明飛校長亦特頒感謝狀予每位藝術家，表彰他們對本校的付出。

莊老師為本校教育學碩士，馬來西亞國際創意聯盟第一副會長，從事美術教育三十餘年。莊老師曾向李漢文國際長提議，透過藝術拓展本校在當地招生，並促成了2023年底莊老師和大馬十餘名循人中學師生與本校美術系合作，於校園西側圍牆留下「荷花池」壁畫，除為校園增色，亦鼓勵大馬學生來校就讀。

此次李國際長特邀莊老師再次返校作畫，期以藝術開啟一扇柔和的窗，讓色彩在湖濱館幽暗的長廊盡頭渲染，成為生命教育的重要媒介，使學生們都能在筆觸與光影間感受到陪伴，知道自己並不孤單。此一理念獲莊老師認同，並牽線邀請大馬美術家協會朱紹瑛總會長等八位藝術家共襄盛舉。

藝術家們在抵臺隔日便投入創作，短短四日即完成四處壁畫，展現驚人的專業與默契。這些畫作以大自然為主軸，或氣勢磅礴，或色彩繽紛，成為校園中令人駐足的新亮點。值得一提的是，來自印尼、印度及巴基斯坦的外籍生與臺灣學伴也參與寶山的壁畫創作，充分體現藝術無國界的精神。

「花會重開，你也會再次微笑」—這句出現在湖濱館一幅壁畫上的題字，像是一封寫給全校師生的溫柔信箋，傳遞著希望與療癒的力量。在壁畫創作活動的閉幕式上，曾育民副校長表示，這些畫作不僅美化了校園，更象徵馬來西亞藝術家帶來的祝福與期許，願每個同學都能在畫作中汲取勇氣，綻放笑顏。

曾副校長期盼雙方的備忘錄能讓彰化師大成為馬來西亞藝術家們在臺灣的家，未來無論是藝術交流或教育合作，本校義不容辭，全力提供支持，攜手共創更多可能。

朱紹瑛總會長則感謝本校的熱情接待與周到安排，讓藝術家們在創作過程中備感溫暖與禮遇。她表示，短短數日內完成四幅壁畫，是一次難得的交流體驗，透過畫筆，不僅連結馬來西亞與臺灣，亦成就校園一道美麗的風景線，將積極向上的正能量傳遞給每一個經過的人，因此期待雙方持續以藝術促進交流、以創意點亮世界。莊老師亦表示，藝術具有生命力量，能潛移默化改變人心，希望這些畫作能成為陪伴學生、照亮心靈的彩光。

從湖濱館溫潤的色彩，到寶山校區另類空間的創意，這些藝術作品在靜默中述說希望，在絢爛中療癒心靈，讓每個學生與訪客都能感受到跨越國界、直抵人心的美麗與力量。（國際暨兩岸事務處）

NCUE recently hosted a cross-border art collaboration featuring distinguished alumnus Yoon Sooi Chong, hailed in Malaysia as a shining light of Chinese culture, and eight artists from the Malaysian Artists Society (PPM). They created four murals on the fifth floor of the Hu-Bin Building at Jinde Campus and along a roughly 30-meter tunnel-like passageway connecting the Baoshan Campus and Dormitory No. 10. Centered on the theme of life education, the works seek to convey messages of hope and emotional healing.

The project also marked the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between NCUE and PPM to strengthen artistic exchange and encourage Malaysian students to pursue studies at NCUE, and NCUE President Ming-Fei Chen presented a certificate of appreciation to each artist in recognition of their contributions.

Mr. Chong holds a master’s degree in education from NCUE and serves as the First Vice President of the International Association of Creative Arts (IACA), Malaysia, with over 30 years of experience in art education. He proposed using art to promote student recruitment in Malaysia, which inspired a 2023 project in which teachers and students from Malaysia’s Tsun Jin High School collaborated with NCUE’s Department of Fine Arts to paint the “Lotus Pond” mural on the west wall of the Jinde Campus.

For this year’s effort, Dean Hon Man Lee of the International Office invited Mr. Chong back to NCUE to help transform the dim interior of the Hu-Bin Building into a more welcoming space—one that gives students a sense of companionship and reminds them they are never alone. Mr. Chong, in turn, brought PPM President Shirley Chu and seven other Malaysian artists to join the four-day undertaking.

Inspired by nature, the murals present vivid, graceful scenes full of color and life, making them standout features on campus. International students from Indonesia, India, and Pakistan, along with Taiwanese peers, assisted in the Baoshan mural, reflecting the project’s spirit of cultural inclusiveness.

One of the Hu-Bin Building murals bears the inscription “Flowers will bloom again, and so will your smile,” a message intended to uplift students and staff alike. At the closing ceremony of the event, NCUE Vice President Yu-Min Tseng thanked the artists for their contributions, noting that the murals not only enhance the campus environment but also symbolize encouragement and mutual support. He expressed hope that the new MOU will help make NCUE a welcoming home in Taiwan for Malaysian artists and pledged continued assistance for future collaborations.

PPM President Shirley Chu praised NCUE’s hospitality and called the experience a valuable cultural and artistic exchange. The artists not only strengthened ties between Malaysia and Taiwan but also created a beautiful campus landscape that radiates positive energy to every passerby. Mr. Chong highlighted the transformative power of art, expressing his wish that the murals would provide comfort and inspiration to students for years to come.
