For more than 300 years of the Nederlandsch colonialism era in Indonesia, the Nederlandsch-Indies government had made the Angke River in Jakarta a killing field for ethnic Chinese. The Nethererland-Indies government also obliterates several kingdoms on Java Island.
One of them is a small kingdom in a small hamlet in Cirebon, a city that is serene, peaceful, and very strategic on the north coast of the island of Java.
This novel is not just about the fierce resistance of the people of Cirebon and Batavia, from generation to generation, against the cruelty of Netherlands colonialism. But there are beautiful things behind the pain of oppression and injustice after the Netherlands-Indies government destroys a small kingdom at little hamlet, and this novel tells about that.
A fiction novel with background historical facts that are never written in the history books about Cirebon and Jakarta. Especially the Netherlands.
