陈洁雪 我是一个新西兰的中国人,出生在马来西亚的沙捞越州 will talk about her family and life in Borneo, based on her book – From China to Borneo and Beyond. 海外华人的中国魂: 从中国,到南洋,到更远
This is
a hundred-year-old journal of two families, the Chans and the Kongs.
It
traces the first movement in 1907 from Kwang Zhou, China to the jungles of
Borneo. It is a six-generational record
with the second wave of movement to England, Canada, Japan, Singapore,
Australia, USA and New Zealand. The
journal begins from the author's great-grandfather Chan Kwong Kouk and centres
on the life of the author's father John Chan Hiu Fei until his demise in
2006. The Opium war, virgin tropical
jungle, Japanese World War, colonial days, a revolution, a fight with the
Communists; these were the difficulties
the families had to go through.
Ann Chin is
a successful writer, and has been on TV, newspapers and has spoken to several
organisations, about this book, and her other books:Diary of a Bereaved Mother, Goodbye my baby 丧儿记: 丧失儿子的母亲的一本传记
This
is a real life story of losing one's only son. This experience has made the
author strong and caring. This tragedy has been a great help for her to
help understand other bereaved people.
