On a Chinese scholarship, then calls Singapore "more dogs than people". Boasts of superiority on the subway, mocks Singaporeans as lowly. These years, such "bite the hand that feeds you" hypocrisy is all too common. I just want to ask: If Singapore truly committed heinous acts, no matter how harshly you curse, I'd applaud. But the fact is, in the past century, Singapore not only never harmed China, but emptied its coffers when we were desperate. Today, in this post, even if it offends, I will uncover this forgotten history for you to see. Rewind to year 1911. Why did the Xinhai Revolution succeed? Mr. Sun Yat-sen himself said, "Overseas Chinese are the mother of the revolution—this is no mere politeness." Sun Yat-sen traveled nine times to Nanyang. For what? For money, for lives. He saw "Return our mountains and rivers", in the newspaper and wept. Singapore's "Three Heroes", like Zhang Yongfu, sold their assets, housed the Nanyang headquarters of the Tongmenghui in their villa. Numbers don't lie. The revolution's success saw Nanyang Chinese donations, 30 percent of Huanghuagang 73 miles, how many were rich youths from Nanyang? They could have lived comfortably here, but chose to return, spilling their blood in Guangzhou. Those who curse Singapore today, you curse the descendants of the nation. Some say that's old history. Why bring it up? Fine. Let's talk recent. During the five years Anti-Japanese War, what China lacked, Singapore Chinese gave. Over 5 billion, real hard-earned money. One-third of China's military funds. Rich people donated planes, rickshaw-pullers donate their wages, even beggars gave alms to donation boxes. More tragic: 3,200 Nanyang drivers.
