This book uses the unique historical and cultural medium of overseas remittance letters as its narrative thread, vividly depicting the epic struggle of the Zhen family from the Chaoshan region as they crossed mountains and seas to Southeast Asia, and the arduous journey of establishing their remittance bureau. With a grand historical perspective, the work outlines the intertwined lives of people in Southeast Asia and the mainland from the late Qing Dynasty to the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan—literati, business tycoons, artistic talents, officials, and ordinary people—collectively painting a magnificent picture of the era. Several male protagonists, though residing in the foreign land of Southeast Asia, held their country and the world in their hearts, becoming pioneering figures leading the trends of the times with their fearless courage and forward-looking vision.
