This book delves into the historical context surrounding the Cold War, specifically exploring the world of Chinese language systems in Singapore and Malaysia. It sheds light on the overlooked Chinese film culture of early Singapore and Malaysia, examining how Chinese filmmakers responded to ideological shifts before and after the Cold War through anti-imperialist and anti-colonial discourses. Through the analysis of decrypted files from British and American colonial governments, as well as anti-communist films, and the comprehensive collection of early Chinese and English newspapers and periodicals on film culture, this book explores the role of the Chinese community in the Cold War. It not only uncovers the forgotten memory of "Chinese" and "Chinese films" in Singapore and Malaysia but also reflects on cultural production, local consciousness, national identity, and the complexities of Chinese identity from a mass communication perspective.

The sweeping pipe of the past: There were soldiers guarding the village, the white stone produced was whiter than white, it had a standard A-class football field, and an "Old Green Hill" older than "Green Hill". It had several ancient roads leading to Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, and Tsuen Wan, and more than 40 ancestral halls. Its shallows provided rich seafood, and fresh duck eggs could often be picked up in the village's rivers. It attracted archaeologists to excavate three times, and the Han Ying Study Room in the village and the Jueka Temple and theater in the barracks were listed as Grade III historical buildings. The Dragon Pearl Island at the entrance of the village almost became the first legal casino in Hong Kong
