From $5.4 Billion in Rescue Funds to Mansions in New York? Overseas Chinese in Malaysia Sold Their Children, Only to Exchange It for Soong May-ling’s 99 Crates of Jewelry? This Is the Truth Behind the Kuomintang’s Defeat!

When we look back at the history of 1937, on one side, there were the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia who sacrificed their family wealth and even sold their children to raise $5.4 billion in life-saving funds. On the other side, the privileged class reveled in luxury in mansions on Long Island, New York. This film will contrast these two extreme scenes: 3,200 Southsea Overseas Chinese Drivers gave up comfortable lives to transport supplies on the deadly Yunnan-Burma Road, known as the “Death Highway,” with one-third of them forever lost in the deep valleys.

During World War II, the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia (primarily in Singapore-Malaya, the Philippines, Indonesia, and other regions), led by Tan Kah Kee, wholeheartedly supported the resistance against Japan by establishing the “Nanyang Chinese Relief Fund Association,” raising donations for relief efforts, boycotting Japanese goods, and returning to China to join the war. The overseas Chinese organizations raised substantial funds, and thousands of mechanics returned to China to support transportation on the Yunnan-Burma Road, making exceptional contributions to China’s war of resistance.

How did the KMT thieves, denounced by President Truman, turn wartime supplies into numbers in private bank accounts? Why did an extravagant banquet worth $80,000 lose to a simple bowl of homemade chicken soup costing just a few cents in the caves of Yan’an?

當我們翻開1937年的歷史，一邊是南洋華僑割捨家產、甚至賣兒賣女湊出的54億救命錢；另一邊卻是權貴階級在美國長島豪宅里的紙醉金迷。本片將對比兩個極端的畫面：3,200名南僑機工放棄優渥生活，在被稱為死亡公路的滇緬公路上，用生命運送物資，三分之一的人永遠留在了峽谷深處。

二戰期間，以陳嘉庚為首的南洋華僑（主要在星馬、菲律賓、印尼等地）透過建立「南洋華僑籌賑祖國難民總會」、捐款籌賑、抵制日貨及回國參戰等方式全力抗日。華僑組織募捐數額巨大，且有數千名機工回國支援滇緬公路運輸，為中國抗戰做出卓越貢獻。

美國總統杜魯門痛罵的賊是國民黨，如何將抗戰物資變成私人銀行的數字？ 為什麼一場價值8萬元的豪門盛宴，輸給了延安窯洞裡一碗幾角錢的鄰家雞湯？
