The Lost Fleet: the Blood and Tears of Nanyang Chinese Workers

In 1840, the sound of war cannons shook the southeastern coast, the country's gates were opened, and the coolie trade was rampant. Countless coastal people became "piglets" and were trafficked to Southeast Asia and fell into hell on earth. A promiscuous young man from a fisherman's family in Quanzhou, his family was broken up and his mother fell ill, so he was forced to sign a contract of prostitution and embark on an ocean-going prison ship. Half of the bronze medal with "Fushun" engraved in his arms conceals the secret of his father's mysterious disappearance with the private fleet. This is the cross-sea tragedy of a generation, the bloody and tearful struggle of the abandoned people in the late Qing Dynasty, and the epic of pioneering the way for the Nanyang Chinese to break through the darkness and pass on the fire from generation to generation.
