As a Teochew farm boy coming of age during the Japanese Occupation, Tan Kok Seng enters the 'university of the world' at only 15, becoming a coolie at the Orchard Road market. On his rounds to the homes of the 'Red Hairs', he befriends a group of Chinese dialect-speaking Caucasians who inspire him to improve himself beyond his humble roots. Set against Singapore's push towards self-governance, Tan's engaging autobiography reflects the pioneering spirit of the times. Written in deceptively simple prose, notable for its English transliteration of Teochew adages, Son of Singapore sensitively captures fast-disappearing places, people and everyday ways of living. © 1972, 2013 by Tan Kok Seng.
