(1) The Mighty Wave 《巨浪》贺巾
Translated by Tan Jing Quee, Loh Miaw Gong (Loh Miaw Ping) & Hong Lysa
A major novel about the anti-colonial mass movement in Singapore in the 1950s which started with the Chinese middle school students assembling on 13 May 1954 at the pavements of Penang Road to petition the Governor for their exemption from national service. This mass gathering was forcibly broken up by the riot police. It ends with the 1959 general election, in which the political party they supported triumphed. The protagonists of the novel look forward to contributing to the new phase in Singapore’s political development.
That was not to be.
The Mighty Wave is a Singapore novel which deserves a place in the country's literary history.

(2) 情系五一三:一九五零年代新加坡华文中学学生运动与政治变革
       陈仁贵、陈国相、孔莉莎 编
五一三这世代是从中国来的移民当中首先尽力解决新马归宿问题的。这样,他们不可挽回地
和由老一辈传承的智慧决裂。不幸的是那个政治气候使他们的探索被指为颠覆行为。
本文集收集了一九五零年代学生运动的参与者的回忆。在那个年代里他们是站在反对殖民地
主义的最前方。文集也收集了学者对这个年代的历史框架和背景,以及它如何被套进主流的历史叙述的研究。学者也探讨了学生们的艺术,戏剧,舞蹈和文学,从中发现这些文艺活动所表达的是对社会关心,和他们作为一个群体的身份。可惜这时代的文化探索已被遗忘或否定。这种记忆缺失和沉默能这么坚持和牢固是很有启示的。真不可能想象时代对这一群青年的要求。

(3) The May 13 Generation: The Chinese Middle Schools Student Movement and Singapore Politics in the 1950s
Edited by Tan Jing Quee, Tan Kok Chiang & Hong Lysa
The May 13 generation was the first belonging to the immigrant communities from China to grapple with the issues of being Malayan/Singaporean, breaking irrevocably with the received wisdoms of their elders, and in a political climate where their explorations were deemed to be subversive.
This book comprises the recollections penned by the participants of the era of the 1950s, where their generation was in the forefront of the anti-colonial movement, and the work of academic researchers who have examined the historical framework and context of the period, as well as how it has been made to fit into the country’s mainstream history. It is almost impossible to imagine the demands that the age had put on this generation of youths.
