Journey of self-discovery through history and heritage.
This book would be a good read for someone who is interested in exploring their own identity and understanding the complexities of history. Wang Gungwu takes us on an intimate journey through his own life, from being born in Java and raised in a multiethnic town in Malaya, to studying in China and eventually returning to his homeland. Through his personal story, the book delves into the themes of family, identity, and belonging, while also providing insights into the historical currents that have shaped Asia and the world. It is a wise and moving reflection that will resonate with those who appreciate the power of personal stories in understanding the broader complexities of our world.
