Pantai is located in Manjung County, Perak. It is a small fishing village with simple folk customs, quiet and leisurely. Here is a Chinese independent middle school, Yuqing Middle School.

In the 1960s, there was no middle school in Pantai Town. After the local children graduated from primary school, only a small number of children were able to go to the middle school in Waipo. Therefore, the ancestors tried hard to set up a national middle school, but they were not approved by the Education Bureau. It was decided to change the plan and set up an independent high school.

Yuqing Middle School covers an area of ​​20 acres, and the existing school land is 13 acres.

Yuqing Secondary School is the last Chinese independent secondary school established in Perak and West Malaysia. It has just passed a decade.

Yuqing Middle School welcomed its first batch of 139 students in 1962, and leased the MCA as a temporary school building for one year, before moving to the current school site for classes in 1963. With the increase in the number of students, under the leadership of the late first chairman Cai Youqi, the board of directors started construction on the current school site to complete all the hardware and software equipment.

The number of students increased year by year, and the school affairs flourished. Later, due to changes in the education law, by the end of 1969, there were only dozens of students left, and the school was on the verge of closing.

In 1973, the independent high school revival movement in Perak finally revived the independent high school. The number of students began to rebound, and the school affairs developed steadily. By 1984, the number of students reached a peak of 457.

In the following years, the number of students declined again. By 2011, there were only 192 students in the whole school, and Yuqing Middle School became a micro independent high school. Later, under the leadership of the current chairman Zheng Xiaochuan, the teaching equipment was upgraded, and finally in 2016, with 302 students, it was promoted from a small independent high school to a small independent high school.

There is no student dormitory in Yuqing Middle School. Most of the students are from the five districts of Pantai, namely Pantai, Shuangli Buddha, Songxi Batu, Sigari, and Mozhenwai. At present, the school has 378 students, 30 teachers and 7 staff members.

The school system is a six-year system, that is, three years of junior high school and three years of high school. After obtaining the high school unified examination diploma, students can apply for admission to local private colleges and universities, or go to foreign colleges and universities for further study. Students can also apply for the Malaysian Diploma of Education (SPM) on their own.
