Description
Set against the backdrop of the Australian gold rush, this narrative delves into the life of Shu Cheong, a Chinese immigrant seeking fortune and a new life. Through the pages of his diary, readers witness the struggles and triumphs of an individual navigating the unfamiliar terrain of a new land filled with hopes and dreams, as well as prejudice and hardship.
As Shu Cheong records his experiences, the story unfolds the rich tapestry of cultural clashes and personal resilience. His voice echoes with the trials faced by many immigrants during that era, making it a poignant exploration of identity, ambition, and the quest for belonging in a world that often feels alien.
