In the 1920s, Goh Seng Choo, who ventured afar to seek a living in the Nanyang region, achieved success in his career. Yet, he never forgot his motherland nor his hometown. He actively supported the development of his hometown. During the period of the Sino-Japanese War, he responded enthusiastically to the call of Tan Kah Kee, voluntarily donating funds and materials to support the homeland's resistance against the Japanese invasion.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Goh Seng Choo took the initiative to lead donations and actively rallied fellow Rongqiao overseas Chinese in Singapore to contribute funds for the construction of Rongqiao Middle School's "Yangxing Building". He also proactively donated funds to purchase dozens of tons of fertilizer to support agricultural production in his hometown. Additionally, he financed the purchase of machinery and equipment to aid in the construction of a rice mill for the collective farm, assisting the local residents in overcoming practical difficulties.

Every year before the Spring Festival, he would send a certain amount of money or essential goods from Nanyang to support his relatives in the same village, helping them have a prosperous year. In the 1980s, Goh Seng Choo contributed several times to the construction of school buildings for Rongqiao Middle School and Xiadu Second Primary School in his hometown.

After Goh Seng Choo passed away, his children inherited his glorious tradition of patriotism and devotion to education.
