Generally speaking, there are two kinds of appellations for overseas Chinese: broad and narrow. In a narrow sense, overseas Chinese refer to the population of China outside Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, so there is a mantra of "30 million overseas Chinese". Western scholars and people in Chinese mainland say that overseas Chinese often refer to all overseas compatriots with Chinese ethnic origin except Chinese mainland, including Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province, so there are about 57 million people, which is widely discussed. More than 90% of overseas Chinese have joined the nationality of the host country, so they have become "China people" different from "overseas Chinese" who retain China nationality; Therefore, overseas Chinese are generally called "overseas Chinese".

He studied hard during the day and insisted on going to night school to make up lessons. Later, he was promoted to the manager of hardware store by his boss, and the store became increasingly prosperous. When he had a certain amount of savings, he invited his three brothers to Singapore to open a small shop called Honglong. After half a century of business development, he has finally become one of the largest Chinese business consortia in Asia today.
