Description: During the 1800s and early 1900s, war and pestilence drove thousands of Chinese to every part of the world in search of a better life. This diaspora was one of the great events of the modern history, and the story of its sojourners and migrant workers was one of the pain, courage and enterprise

Hua Song celebrates the spirit and memory of those who left their homes for a dream. It weaves together the threads of this epic journey and gives voice to the men and women who undertook it. This jewel box of archival images and artefacts recalls a common past, bringing to vivid life the continuing story of the Chinese overseas.
