MELAKA SCHOOL LINK TO HONG KONG SCHOOL

In Hong Kong, there is a school that was originally established in Malacca in 1818 by Robert Morrison. It moved to Hong Kong in 1843 after it became a British colony.  

The name of the school is Ying Wa College.  

In Malacca, it started as the Anglo-Chinese College. 

Hong Kong's Ying Wa College originated in Malacca, and its predecessor was the "Anglo-Chinese College" (the original name was also "Anglo-Chinese College").

The connection between the two is as follows:

📜 The Relationship is "Predecessor and Successor"

· Origin in Malacca: In 1818, missionaries Robert Morrison and William Milne founded the "Anglo-Chinese College" in Malacca (then under Dutch control), which was the predecessor of Ying Wa College.

· Relocation to Hong Kong: In 1843, following the cession of Hong Kong, the college was relocated from Malacca to Hong Kong and later became today's "Ying Wa College".

⚠️ One Point to Note

Although the predecessor was located in Malacca, the "Anglo-Chinese College" established there in 1818 was not the "Anglo-Chinese School" in Malacca that exists today. The latter is a different school founded by the Methodists in the 1910s.

Therefore, the Malacca period is regarded as the root of Hong Kong's Ying Wa College. The school has also organized "root-seeking" visits to Malacca in recent years.
