In the film In the South, Thinking China: From Chinese History to Nanyang Identity , viewers are invited on a reflective journey across national and ethnic boundaries, guided by Professor Wang Gungwu's expansive historical vision. Richly illustrated and spanning Malaysia and Singapore, the documentary features interviews with voices ranging from academia to the local Chinese community.
It traces Professor Wang's life journey, exploring questions of identity among diasporic Chinese and highlighting how he, growing up outside China yet nurtured by Confucian traditions, developed his unique perspective of "viewing China from the South." It presents his analysis of China's internal historical dynamics and its interactions with southern neighbors, offering a comprehensive understanding of the Chinese people's position in the international community. The film summarizes his three major insights into Chinese history: the Sino-centric World Order: Changing Visions of Tianxia , Sinology from a Southern Perspective, and Research on Chinese in Southeast Asia: Multiplicity of Identities. It also draws from his two autobiographies, Home Is Not Here and Home Is Where We Are , to convey his profound understanding of "home."
