Summary: These stories are about the Chinese in the Philippines and Chinese Filipinos before they were stereotyped as wealthy businessmen. In these stories we see the effects of global forces on the lives of simple people who want to live in dignity amidst racism, poverty, and persecution. Underneath the comic and painful situations, we read about how generous sacrificed their lives for the hope of a better future, how identities are formed in the crucible of national and international anxieties and how the present generation of Filipinos who are reaping the fruits of immigrant sacrifices may have too easily forgotten what it means to be children of the diaspora.
