您們好!我是中華人民共和國廣西壯族自治區玉林市博白縣鳳山鎮武衛村新屋屯居民(原地址:博白縣上垌鄉秧地棟新屋村)。我的曾祖父劉朝複、曾祖叔父劉朝清,兄弟倆人于1895年左右不同一時間離家遠遊南洋謀生,一直以來中國親人無法與他們後代取得聯系,中國親人一直關心海外親人,衷心希望海外親人回國探親訪友團聚。
以下是我父親劉陶廣講述,本人整理的內容:
曾祖父劉朝複,出生于187?年,在村裏排12,娶妻祁氏,于1895年生一男孩,名劉殿申,在村裏排3;曾祖叔父劉朝清,出生于187?年,在村裏排14,娶妻黃氏,于1895年生一女孩,名劉殿某。曾祖父、曾祖叔父的父親姓名:劉輝紌(you),排33,母親葉氏;伯父劉輝系,排27。劉朝複、劉朝清的爺爺姓名:劉永濱,永濱共有四兄弟。
由于當時國內戰亂,清政府腐敗無力,民不聊生,家裏無田無地,在家庭生活極度困難的情況下,劉朝複在兒子出生一百天左右離家遠遊南洋謀生;劉朝清在女兒出生三十天左右也離家遠遊南洋謀生。
兄弟倆于1895年在不同的時間離家遠遊謀生,家人一直以來都四處探聽他們的下落消息,直到1945年(他們約七十歲左右)左右時,廣東省河唇某某人從南洋回廣東老家時,代劉朝複或劉朝清(記不清楚是那個人)帶回三只白銀,他們留言詢問家裏是否還有後代,是否同意他們回家,請寫信告知,廣東此人也留下了地址:新加坡(或馬來西)芙蓉阜海邊街海馬路108號門牌,後來伯父劉陶玩(當時約20歲左右)在整個上垌鄉找人寫信,均無一人識寫信,就這樣沒有得到及時回信給曾祖父或曾叔祖父造成了失聯。
中華人民共和國1949年解放後,大陸親人一直以不同方式繼續尋找海外親人的信息,結果都一無所有。直到1984年,我父親按廣東人留下的地址:新加坡芙蓉阜海邊街海馬路108號去信,一個月後,新加坡某郵局退回信說:查無此地查無此人。
直到現在我們懷著一點點的希望,聯系您們,懇請您們盡最大能力幫助我查找失聯的親人。我和家人對您們的辛勤付出表示最衷心的感謝!我們終生不會忘記您們!

Looking for relatives in SingaporeChinese Liu Clan Association in Singapore,I am so happy to write to you! I am a resident of Xinwu Tun, Wuwei Village, Fengshan Town, Bobai County, Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. The reason why I write this letter is that I really want you to help us find our relatives in Singapore.
My great grandfather Liu Chaofu, great granduncle Liu Chaoqing, left home at different times in 1895 to make a living in Southeast Asia. For a long time, we Chinese relatives could not get in touch with their descendants. We have always been concerned about our overseas relatives and sincerely hope that our overseas relatives would return home to visit their relatives and friends.
The following information is what my father Liu Taoguang told me, and I sorted out.My great grandfather Liu Chaofu, born in 1870s, was the 12nd child in the family.In 1895, he married his wife Miss Qi and in 1895 they had a son named Liu Dianshen. Liu Chaoqing, my great granduncle, was born in 1870s, was the 14st child in the family, married Miss Huang, who gave birth to a girl named Liu Dianin in 1895.
Great grandfather and great granduncle’s father’s name is Liu Huiyou, the 33rd child in the family, their mother’s family name is Ye. My uncle Liu Hui, the 27th child. Liu Chaofu and Liu Chaoqing’s grandfather’s name is Liu Yongbin, who has four brothers.Liu Chaofu left home to make a living in Southeast Asia about 100 days after his son was born, and Liu Chaoqing left home to make a living there about 30 days after his daughter was born.
In 1895, the brothers left home at different times to earn a living. Their families had been looking around for information about their whereabouts. In 1945 (the brothers were about 70 years old at that time), a man from Hechun, Guangdong Province returned to his hometown from Southeast Asia, brought back three silver coins on behalf of Liu Chaofu or Liu Chaoqing ( can’t remember clearly). The man came with the brothers’ message whether there were any descendants at home and whether they were allowed to return to their hometown.
They wanted someone to write to reply, the address was No. 108 Haima Road, Fuhai Bian Street, Furong, Singapore (or West Malaysia). Later, My uncle Liu Taowan who was about 20 years old wanted to asked someone to write a reply in the village, but no one knew how to write, so my uncle did not get a timely reply to his great grandfather and great granduncle, which resulted in the loss of contact.
After the liberation of the people’s Republic of China in 1949, relatives on the mainland continued to search for information about their overseas relatives in different ways, with no result. In 1984, my father sent a letter according to the address left by the Cantonese. A month later, a Singapore Post Office returned the letter and said that the address and didn’t exist, nor did the person.
Up to now, we turn to the Chinese Liu clan association in Singapore for help. Though with a little hope, we write to you and want you to do your best to help us find our lost relatives. My family and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks for your hard work! We will never forget the hard work that Liu clan association has done for us!
