Singaporeans who claim Chinese ancestry who counted Teochew as their dialect have always made up the second-largest in Singapore, as consistently tabulated by the Singapore Department of Statistics, and this is still by far the only television drama series made on the Teochew community in Singapore.
The drama series spanned from post-WWII China to modern Singapore, which at the time of airing, it was in 1995.
Chen Sucheng and Zoe Tay were also together in Unbeatables (1993), but as the eventual father-in-law to the latter's character.
