Penghidoepan

Penghidoepan (meaning "life" in Malay; Perfected Spelling Penghidupan) was a monthly Peranakan Chinese, Malay-language literary magazine published in the Dutch East Indies from 1925 to 1942.

Penghidoepan was founded in Surabaya, East Java, Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) by Njoo Cheong Seng, Ong Ping Lok, and Liem Khing Hoo, the editorial team behind the bimonthly magazine Hoa Kiao and was printed by the Tan printing company (Dutch: Tan's Drukkerij).

[2][4] For example, journalist and writer Tan Hong Boen often traveled around Java by bicycle, touring villages and coming up with ideas for stories he would print in Penghidoepan and other magazines.

[6] The magazine also published original stories by women authors such as Nyonya The Tiang Ek and Chan Leang Nio, something which was unheard of in the Indies before the 1920s.

[4] Together the materials printed in Penghidoepan and related magazines like Tjerita Roman are thought to make up the golden age of Peranakan Chinese literature.
