"Memoirs of Tan Kah Kee" was first published in 1946 and reprinted many times after 1979. This is a memoir written by Mr. Tan Kah Kee when he was hiding from the Japanese invaders and taking refuge in Indonesia from 1943 to 1945. Without any information for reference, he relied on his amazing memory and a sincere and simple style to describe his life experience in detail for more than 40 years. The facts recorded in the book are all the history he experienced personally. Living in Nanyang, his heart was devoted to China, especially during the arduous days of the Anti-Japanese War. He led the overseas Chinese community in Nanyang to raise funds and mobilized the overseas Chinese community in Nanyang to participate in the anti-Japanese movement. In 1940, he led an overseas Chinese delegation back to China. He traveled extensively across the north and south for inspections, and visited Yan'an, which was governed by the Communist Party. He believed that Yan'an was "hard-working and honest, loyal and courageous in serving the public, and it was based on the premise of benefiting the people and the country. It also promoted democratization in the villages in the recovered areas, worked hard with the people, shared the same hatred of the enemy, and laid the foundation for the victory of the restoration." He campaigned for the Anti-Japanese War and did his best for victory. His actions confirmed his lofty belief of "developing education with integrity, diligence and frugality throughout his life, and serving the society."
