加拿大高校文学社简介-华闻时空

加拿大高校文学社（Canadian Literary Association of Higher Education）（简称“文社”）是在加拿大联邦政府注册的非营利机构。文社成立的宗旨是为来自各高校的，有中国文化背景的文学爱好者提供一个文学交流的平台，通过多种方式以文会友、相互学习、共同提高文学素养，文社致力于追求“关爱，创新；诚实，感恩；正直，善良；平等，尊重；包容，谦逊”的价值观。本着以人品为先的原则，提高文品、开创和指导文社的一切活动，同时借助文学艺术宣传带动及组织社区的各种公益活动。

背景和发展：

2015年秋季，在多伦多的46所中国高校校友会联席会议上，由西安交通大学多伦多校友会创会会长杨海军（笔名原野）先生等多所高校校友会会长发起倡议并组建成立了微信群形式的加拿大高校文学社，并于2020年9月正式注册。

文社群成立后，吸引了来自100多所兄弟院校爱好文学的校友，一起切磋、交流。目前拥有注册会员470余人。大家以微信为主要交流方式、以美篇等网络图文软件为编辑工具，由文友组成的主持人团队拟定每周主题，撰写作品，发表以每周主题为内容的 “周专辑” 。

“每周主题”是文社独特的标志性活动。大家围绕周主题，以诗词歌赋、散文随笔、微小说等形式进行创作，笔耕不辍。文友们才思敏捷，妙笔生花，作品争奇斗艳，雅俗共赏，文友间有关注，有点赞，有点评，有商榷，在良好的互动氛围中同提高共进步，获益匪浅。

文社也开办了专题讲座和文社公众号平台推广制度，原则上每两周邀请文友中或文社以外的学者来通过线上进行公益专题讲座，涉及诗歌、散文、小说、翻译、法律、京剧、哲学、音乐、戏曲、绘画、书法、建筑等文学及与文学艺术相关的内容来开阔视野，激发创作灵感及陶冶情操。

文社微信公众号是推广文友们优秀原创作品的专用平台，平台定期会将“每周主题”中甄选出的优秀作品进行推送，每次公众号发布后，微信读书公众号也同步推送。公众号平台的推广受到文学爱好者的普遍欢迎和赞誉。

回顾和展望：

加拿大高校文学社与加拿大众多兄弟院校的校友会关系密切，文学社成员也是来自各个不同院校，自然而然地有拥有独特而浓厚的校友情结。从第二届中国高校联合春晚开始，承蒙主办方信任与委托，加拿大高校文学社连续成功承办了分别由清华，北大，“武汉三杰”（华中科技大学、武汉大学，中国地质大学），“六校联盟”（四川大学、重庆大学、电子科大、沈阳工业大学，西南财经大学和四川轻工业大学），“海派六校（复旦大学、同济大学、上海交大、华东师范大学、上海财经大学和上海大学）”主办的六届“”高校联合春晚“”的征文活动，并集册成书：第二届2018年，《别有枫情》；第三届2019年，《手牵手回家过年》；第四届2020年，《校园情，加国缘》；第五届2022年《龙腾虎跃，春回大地》，第六届2023年《高校加缘，玉兔迎春》；第七届2024年《龙腾春盈，月满人间》；第八届2025年《金蛇狂舞闹新春》。加拿大中国高校联合春晚的主题征文活动，为高校社区的团结和发展壮大，起到了拾柴添火，增砖添瓦的作用。同时文社的征文出版公益服务也成为社区的一大亮点。

自2020年初以来，新冠疫情爆发并影响改变了所有人的生活。受主办方加中经贸文化交流协会，北美华人健康协会和绿色生命养老集团的委托，2021年加拿大高校文学社成功承办了“直面疫情，迎接明天”的专题征文活动并将《直面疫情，迎接明天》优秀纪实文学作品集锦结集出版。文友们以自己的切身经历和真情实感，笔触细腻地记录和描写了在全球疫情肆虐的日子里，海外华人团结一心，众志成城，心系祖国和亲人，相互关爱，共克时艰的一幅幅动人而温暖的画面。用文学的力量打动、感染、鼓舞人们。用翔实的文字记载了百年不遇的疫情期间普通人在特殊日子里的不平凡的生活。

2023年和2024年，加拿大高校文学社和加中经贸文化交流协会共同策划主办了第一届和第二届周建成•TQC建筑加拿大“高校杯“全球大型征文活动《我的青春我的梦》以及《新家园新人生》并出版成书，引起社会各界的普遍关注和广泛好评，这些脍炙人口的美好篇章将会激励更多的海外游子和后人们追求梦想，生生不息。

目前，文学社已为文友出版了长篇小说《官场》和散文集《北辰西照》。为庆祝文学社成立七周年，由企业家冯建德的Frontop Engineering limited冠名赞助为文友们出版了《我与文学》征文专辑。

生活是彩色的，生命是绿色的。文社这个由各类专业人士构成的特别团体，通过大家线上线下交流、沟通，找回了学生时代之青春活力、校园情怀。这里成为了大家在休闲时光及紧张工作之余驻足享受文学之美的精神港湾。文友年龄从80多岁的矍铄老者到大学在读的年轻学子，跨越了老中青三代人。

生活是墨，文学是笔，让我们挥毫落纸共写美好篇章。感谢一路走来时刻关心支持加拿大高校文学社的各界爱心人士，文友朋友们，让我们共同祝愿加拿大高校文学社越来越好！愿文学的光芒闪耀在整个加拿大高校社区，照亮每个人的精神世界！

Canadian Literary Association of Higher Education

2025年6月

(Englishi Version as below)

Canadian Literary Association of Higher Education

The Canadian Literary Association of Higher Education (referred to as “CLAHE”) is a non-profit organization registered with the Government of Canada. Established with the aim of providing a platform for literary enthusiasts with a Chinese cultural background from various universities, CLAHE fosters literary exchange, mutual learning, and improvement of literary skills. The association upholds the values of “Care and Innovation; Honesty and Gratitude; Integrity and Kindness; Equality and Respect; Inclusivity and Humility.” Guided by the principle of prioritizing character, CLAHE seeks to enhance the quality of literature, initiate and oversee all its activities, and promote community service through the medium of literature and the arts.

Background and Development

In the fall of 2015, at the Toronto joint conference of alumni associations from 46 Chinese universities, the Canadian Literary Association of Higher Education was initiated as a WeChat group by Mr. Haijun Yang (pen name: Yuanye), the founding president of the Xi’an Jiaotong University Toronto Alumni Association, alongside presidents of several other university alumni associations. The association was officially registered in September 2020.

After its establishment, CLAHE attracted literary enthusiasts from over 100 universities to engage in discussions and exchanges. Currently, it has more than 460 registered members. Members use WeChat as the primary mode of communication and platforms like Meipian for editing and sharing. The association’s host team develops weekly themes, encourages members to create works, and publishes a “Weekly Collection” based on these themes.

Unique Activities

One of CLAHE’s hallmark activities is the “Weekly Theme,” where members create poems, essays, micro-novels, and other literary pieces around a central topic. These creations, showcasing talent and creativity, spark lively discussions, constructive feedback, and mutual encouragement among members, fostering growth in a positive and interactive environment.

The association also organizes thematic lectures and promotes literary works through its official WeChat public account. Every two weeks, it invites scholars—either members or external experts—to deliver online public lectures covering poetry, essays, fiction, translation, law, philosophy, music, calligraphy, and other literary or art-related topics, aiming to broaden horizons, inspire creativity, and cultivate artistic appreciation.

CLAHE’s official WeChat account is dedicated to promoting outstanding original works by members. Selected works from the weekly themes are regularly featured and widely appreciated by literary enthusiasts, receiving acclaim for their quality and impact.

Reflection and Future Prospects

The Canadian Literary Association of Higher Education (CLAHE) maintains close ties with alumni associations of numerous universities across Canada. Its members come from a diverse range of institutions, naturally fostering a unique and profound sense of alumni camaraderie.

Starting from the 2nd United Chinese University Alumni Spring Festival Gala, and with the trust and support of the organizers, CLAHE has successfully hosted essay-writing activities for six consecutive galas. These events were organized by various university groups, including Tsinghua University, Peking University, the “Three Wuhan Giants” (Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan University, China University of Geosciences), the “Six-University Alliance” (Sichuan University, Chongqing University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Shenyang University of Technology, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, and Sichuan University of Light Industry), and the “Shanghai Six” (Fudan University, Tongji University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, East China Normal University, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and Shanghai University).

These essay-writing activities have resulted in the publication of the following collections:

·Beyond the Maple Scene (2018, 2nd gala)

·Hand in Hand, Heading Home for the New Year (2019, 3rd gala)

·Campus Memories, Canadian Bonds (2020, 4th gala)

·Soaring Dragons and Tigers, Spring Returns to Earth (2022, 5th gala)

·University Bonds, Welcoming the Jade Rabbit in Spring (2023, 6th gala)

·Soaring into Spring, Full Moon in the Human World (2024, 7th gala)

·Golden Snake Dance for Spring Festival (2025 8th gala)

The themed essay-writing activities for the United Chinese University Alumni Spring Festival Gala have played a significant role in fostering unity and growth within the university community. At the same time, CLAHE’s contributions to essay publication as a public service have become a distinctive highlight of the community.

Since the beginning of 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted everyone’s lives. Entrusted by the Canada-China Economic and Cultural Exchange Association, the North American Chinese Health Association, and the Green Life Senior Care Group, the Canadian Literary Association of Higher Education (CLAHE) successfully organized the special essay competition Facing the Pandemic, Embracing Tomorrow in 2021. The outstanding literary works from this competition were compiled and published under the same title.

Through vivid and heartfelt accounts, members documented and described, in intricate detail, the days when the pandemic raged across the globe. These works vividly portrayed touching and heartwarming scenes of overseas Chinese standing united, supporting one another, caring deeply for their homeland and loved ones, and overcoming challenges together. These literary creations used the power of words to move, inspire, and encourage people while preserving a truthful record of the extraordinary resilience of ordinary lives during this unprecedented crisis.

In 2023 and 2024, CLAHE, in collaboration with the Canada-China Economic and Cultural Exchange Association, planned and hosted the first and second Zhou Jiancheng•TQC construction University Cup global essay competitions. The themes, My Youth, My Dream and New Home, New Life, garnered widespread attention and praise from society. These compelling works, which have been published, continue to inspire countless overseas Chinese and future generations to pursue their dreams with unwavering determination.

To date, CLAHE has also published a novel, Officialdom, and an essay collection, North Star, West Shine. To celebrate the seventh anniversary of the founding of the Literary Society, a special essay collection titled “My Life with Literature” was published with the generous sponsorship and naming rights provided by entrepreneur Feng Jiande’s company, Frontop Engineering Limited.

Life is colorful, and vitality is evergreen. CLAHE, a unique group composed of professionals from various fields, provides a platform for both online and offline interactions, where members rediscover the youthful energy and camaraderie of their student days. It has become a spiritual haven for enjoying the beauty of literature during leisure time or amidst the pressures of work. With members ranging from energetic university students to vibrant seniors in their 80s, CLAHE bridges generations, uniting them in their shared passion for literature.

Life is the ink, and literature is the pen—together, let us create beautiful chapters on the pages of existence. Sincere gratitude goes to all the caring individuals and literary enthusiasts who have supported CLAHE throughout its journey. May we all wish for the continued growth and success of CLAHE! May the light of literature shine brightly across the Canadian university community, illuminating everyone’s spirit!
