Abstract

THHK was the first modern organization in the Dutch East Indies. The purpose of establishing this organization was to unite Chinese people in Dutch East Indies and instill love for the country (nationalism) by establishing schools run by THHK. The founders of THHK school hoped that Chinese traditions and culture, language, religion (Confucianism), Chinese history and other subjects were reintroduction of the school’s curriculum. The education was selected as a medium to instill love for the motherland of Chinese people in Dutch East Indies. This was evidenced by their actions, these were continuing to study in China, refusing to become citizens of the Dutch East Indies, becoming athletes on behalf of China, and raising funds for the people of their ancestral countries. However, the mission of this organization faced obstacles as well due to the new policies of the Dutch East Indies government that were detrimental to the THHK movement. The growth and development of Indonesian nationalism caused divisions among Chinese people, especially among the elites.
