简介：新加坡曾经出现过一群性格坚韧的时代女性—妈姐。

妈姐来自广东农村，在异地贡献出最美丽的青春。在急促的城市变化中，徐徐老去的生命已经被逐渐遗忘。

上世纪30年代，英殖民地政府修改新加坡的移民政策，限制男性入境，中国女子取代男人出洋。在雇主眼中，白衣黑裤的妈姐是勤快、忠诚、信任的象征。对滞留家乡的父母侄甥而言，定期寄回家的衬衣汇款，是生命的希望。

妈姐受到家乡的习俗的影响，选择独身。她们将一生写在骨气里，淡定无求中体现了中华民族传统女性的高贵品质。

女人离乡背井讨生活，除了必须面对男人同样面对的乡情之外，还要学会保护自己，免受侮辱欺凌。那股逆境求存、坚守岗位的精神是值得永远牢记的本土文化资产。

简介：Tan Kah Kee (21 October 1874 – 12 August 1961) was a Chinese businessman, community leader and philanthropist active in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and various Chinese cities such as Shanghai, Xiamen, and Guangzhou. He was a prominent figure in the overseas Chinese community of Southeast Asia in the 20th century, and was responsible for gathering much support from the community to aid China in major events such as the Xinhai Revolution (1911), the Kuomintang’s Northern Expedition(1926–28), and the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–45). Apart from donating most of his assets and earnings to aid China in those major events, Tan also helped to set up funds in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, and contributed heavily to the establishment of several schools in Southeast Asia and Fujian, including Xiamen University.
