Features: After the country opened up, the desire to go abroad surged in the hearts of some young Chinese. A group of young people with different backgrounds left their homeland and relatives and arrived in another Chinese-speaking country—Singapore. There, they experienced different encounters, went through the shock of the Southeast Asian economic crisis together, endured the disasters brought by the economic crisis, and were tempered by the storms of life. After several years passed, some returned to their motherland with wounds, some went to other countries with new hopes, some rested in peace on this land with grievances, and some remained in the Lion City to continue their struggles. This book tells the stories of him, them, and her, presenting a picture of the lives of Chinese people in Singapore. The author of this book lived in Singapore for more than four years, experiencing it firsthand with genuine feelings. With a delicate pen, the author describes the experiences and journeys, hopes and pursuits, confusion and reflections, love and hatred of himself and the people around him.
