We, the Survivors by Tash Aw
4.0
"It's got nothing to do with bravery. It's about changing our country. Making the world a better place for everyone, regardless of race or religion."
We, the Survivors truly live up to the title; the characters are trying hard to survive in the corrupt country- depiction of social division, unjust working conditions, and racial discrimination give a great impact on the poor residents.
Told in the first POV, Ah Hock is a poor uneducated Chinese man who was born in a small fishing village and pushes to take Bangladeshi life.
"Many of this group of workers were sick and dying. It didn't sound good. They were refugees, they lived in a war zone, and they were being driven from their home."
A moment of silence for the immigrant workers who have to work in the hot and harsh environment and to keep survive and be called an ungrateful lazy bastard when the truth is they only need enough rest.
