Author's note: For a long time, I have wanted to write a story that faithfully reflects the Chinese students who came to Australia at that time. Due to my limited ability, I have never written it, so I have been pushing it forward year by year. It was the encouragement of my friends that gave me the courage to write this novel again. The characters and stories in this article are basically real people, with slight modifications.
This article is dedicated to the 40,000 students from mainland China studying in Australia in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Preface
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, there was a group of people, all young people from all over the world in mainland China. They traveled across the ocean for various ideals and pursuits, and came to the other half of the earth - Australia, a distant and unfamiliar land. They dedicated their youth to this land, and some even gave their young lives; they were unyielding, had no regrets, and never bowed their heads, embodying the unyielding entrepreneurial spirit of the Chinese people. Here is their blood, their tears, their sweat, their love, and their hatred. They will never forget this experience...
