借助古巴华人的影像,这本书叙述了中国移民在古巴的历史,并记录了现存老一代古巴海外华人及其后代的生活状况。1847年6月3日,一艘西班牙帆船载着来自福建省厦门市的206名首批契约劳工抵达哈瓦那,标志着中国人移民古巴历史的开篇。在过去的160年里,古巴政权更迭,经济危机严重,使得古巴华人在当地的生存变得异常艰难。本书的作者克服了重重困难,深入古巴首都及内陆城镇,与老一代海外华人及混血华人取得联系,并拍摄了许多令人印象深刻的纪实作品。作者试图从古巴华人的日常生活和个人故事中探索海外华人的身份认同和文化依归。
镜头中的古巴华人包括远渡重洋的中国人及其后代,其中有些是混血华人。还有非华裔后代,他们被中国人收养,在中国文化的滋养下成长。他们拥有中国文化身份,并不受血缘限制,传承着中国文化和精神信仰。
这本书的设计类似于档案形式。书夹里装有一个纸袋,纸袋内放有一张图片和一页字母。随书还附有一本单独的相册,里面是中国人手持祖先照片的照片,可以一张张插入书中。设计简约而独特。

With the help of images of the Cuban Chinese, this book narrates the history of Chinese immigrants in Cuba and records the living conditions of the existing old Cuban overseas Chinese and their descendants. On June 3, 1847, a Spanish galleon landed in Havana carrying the first 206 indentured laborers from Xiamen, Fujian Province, marking the first page of the history of Chinese immigration to Cuba. In the past 160 years, the Cuban regime has changed and the economic crisis has been severe, making it very difficult for Chinese Cubans to survive in Cuba. The author of this book overcame many difficulties, went deep into the Cuban capital and inland towns, contacted the old overseas Chinese and the mixed-race Chinese, and shot many impressive documentary works. The author tries to explore the identity and cultural dependence of overseas Chinese from the daily life and personal stories of the Cuban Chinese.
The Cuban Chinese in the camera include Chinese who traveled overseas and their descendants, some of whom are mixed-race Chinese. There are also non-Chinese descendants who were adopted by Chinese and grew up nourished by Chinese culture. With the Chinese cultural identity and not limited by blood, they have inherited Chinese culture and spiritual beliefs.
The book is designed like an archive. The clip has a paper bag with a picture and a page of the alphabet in it. The book comes with a separate album of Chinese people holding photos of their ancestors, which are inserted one by one. The design is simple but unique.
