Introduction to the content of Going to Nanyang

In the Southern Ocean, between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, there are more than 20,000 islands, like pearls scattered by God on the earth's oceans. Perhaps due to its special geographical location, over hundreds of years it has become the forefront and testing ground for the collision and integration of Eastern and Western civilizations in human history. Under such cultural baptism and integration, how do the Chinese maintain their own traditions and endure the sufferings and tears of blood and fire? The success of wealth and the creation of dreams have taken on a new look, and Chinese civilization has taken on a completely different form on this land. "Go to Nanyang" not only tells the story of Chinese people building their homes in a foreign country, but also reflects on the current life, inheritance, confusion and destiny of most Chinese people through their difficult survival history.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the court was corrupt, the country was humiliated and power was lost, wars were raging, the country was impoverished and the family was impoverished, and there was no place for the common people to live in China, so they had to seek survival in desperate places, sailing to Southeast Asia, starting a new chapter in human history. The only colonial history chapter that only seeks to survive and develop the local economy without plundering...

This is a powerful and passionate hymn of Chinese overseas Chinese's tenacious struggle for survival, and a heart-stirring Spring and Autumn Family story. National Dream, a bitter history of Chinese labor intertwined with blood and tears.

(CCTV’s 2010 TV series "Going to Nanyang" with the same name was staged in December.
