In the 1980s and 1990s, Singapore TV dramas were very popular in China. These dramas were almost all classics, and many people had watched them in their childhood. One of the most famous dramas was Eve on Three Faces, which was broadcast in 1991. It was about the love and hate entanglement between three girls. The plot twists and turns were exciting. In addition," Fog Locking Southeast Asia " was also a Singaporean TV series imported from China. It was broadcast in 1984 and told the story of the arduous migration of Singaporean Chinese ancestors and their contributions to Singapore's prosperity. In addition to these two dramas, there were many other classic Singapore dramas that caused a sensation in China. The diverse stories and characters of these dramas were deeply loved by the audience.

There were many novels worth recommending in Singapore. One of the books worth reading was Saturday's World. This book was the first work of the Singapore writer Rongzi. It included her essays published in several magazines in the 1970s. Rongzi's works were selected by the Ministry of Education of Singapore as reading material for middle school students, and her prose was also selected as a textbook for middle school students in Singapore. The book presented different aspects of Singapore society and had a unique charm. Other than that, there were other Singapore novels written in the 1970s that were also worth recommending, such as Tan Ka Jun's The True Legend of the 90s. However, I'm not sure about other good Singapore novels.
