Chung Ling (Private) High School in English (檳城鍾靈獨立中學 in traditional chinese / 槟城锺灵独立中学 in simplified chinese) is a Chinese Independent High School in Malaysia, located in George Town, Penang. Its affiliated schools are Chung Ling High School and Chung Ling Butterworth High School.
The school was established in 1962 to accept those student whose age were over the limit and those who wished to receive their education totally in their mother tongue. It is one of the 60 Chinese Independent High Schools in the Malaysia. Unlike Chung Ling High School, Chung Ling (Private) High School provides secondary education in the Chinese language, with the medium of instruction being Mandarin with simplified Chinese characters writing.
The name of the school, Chung Ling, has been defined by late Principal David Chen, as follows:
The school has adopted the name Chung Ling, but what is the rationale behind it? It appears that most students are unaware of the reason. On one occasion I came across an article, in the Hu Zhou, Zhe-jiang Newspaper, of which its description on the region seems to be appropriate for the purpose of defining the name of our school. It reads:
"The scenery of the surroundings of Huzhou, Zhejiang, is picturesque, and it demonstrates a very desirable aura, which explains the phenomenon where the area is the origin to a great number of talents. According to an unofficial census, fourteen Central Councillors came from that area, a truly astounding figure. This amply demonstrates the aura and the availability of talent in that area."
We could thus infer that a concentration of desirable aura (Chung has another meaning of ‘concentration’, and the saying ‘a concentration of aura encourages the emergence of talents’ is referring to the consequences of the concentration of aura.) may lead to the availability of a pool of talents, and the concerned area will naturally attract a lot of attention across the country.
