Descendants of the Bird Hunters of Old China

About the Book

My ancestors once own a “Kingdom” in ancient China. This ‘kingdom’ has its founding amid embers of destruction at the dawn of a new dynastic civilization. The only warrior Ancestor of my direct lineage is also the founding Ancestor. His descendants go on to procreate many lineages throughout China over three millennia. Along the journey, someone loses the “Kingdom”. Of course, there are collateral great Ancestors but this book’s narration is on stories of my direct Ancestors along my direct lineage. And not just about every Ancestors, or any. Only the LOH legends are told. Their stories are narrated against their days’ historical background. It commences from China’s pre-historic tribal nomadic migration through Ancient and Imperial China, and subsequently to the Hakka Diaspora.

About the Author

When the Author got his hands on his Family Book, he found its contents extremely detailed, and the depicted family Tree very dense, if not confusing and complicated. Rarer still were the stories of these Ancestors. He had to seek their stories on-line but they were too disparate to form a whole picture. For the benefits of his children, and relatives, and other hobbyists, he decided to collate these disparate stories and simplify the complicated Tree. Loh Shen Yeow is an Optometrist by profession. He himself is a migrant, like his book’s protagonists. He hailed from Malaysia, landing in Singapore in his late twenties. He settled here for good, raising a handsome family.
