This is the last episode and effort by Felipe B. Nery to publish
the remainder of his poems and essays spanning a period of several
decades involving various topics. It covers, to a large extent, the
Macanese Diaspora. The Macanese people, through no fault of theirs,
are subsequently scattered the world over. They hope, now, wherever
they may have settled to be the final home for them and for their
children. This is the second book consisting of poems and essays
written by Felipe B. Nery for the past decades, which he believes
would interest his readers. It covers a variety of topics ranging
from health, politics, religion, sports, economics, diseases, foods
and so on. These topics are too interesting to be set aside or
discard as they somehow touch each and everyone's life, in the
process. During the period covered, many things have happened to
change the political scenes, scientific knowledge, birth and
destruction of nations, such as: The end of Facism, Nazism, partial
demise of Communism (in Soviet Russia), takeover of China by the
Reds, the end of colonialism, changes occurring in Eastern Europe,
birth of a new nation- Israel, wars on Afghanistan and Iraq, the
invention of cell phones, advances made in medicines, invention of
computers, invention of television, improving the automobiles (also
making them available to the average people), improving the
airplanes which are now the preferred made of travel. During this
period, the Macanese people had to leave Shanghai, Hong Kong and
Macau, not unlike the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt dubbed
Diaspora. The Macanese people are now dispersed throughout the
world. We refer this episode to be "The Macanese Diaspora."

This is a story of Miguel Chaves, a person who was born in Macau of
a Portuguese father and of a mixed race mother. He is categorized
as a Native of Macau or Macanese. He received his initial education
in Macau at the Seminario de Sao Jose (a high school) and Liceu (a
junior college). In 1937, he went to Shanghai to embark in a career
and to establish what he believed to be a secure future for
himself. He first worked for the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking
Corp. for three years, and then he worked for the Shanghai
municipal Council until the outbreak of war in the Pacific. In
1946, he married Marina Cherkov, a white Russian. He and his wife
remained in Shanghai during the war years and left for Macau in
1951. In Macau, he worked for the Macau government, (a colonial
government) until 1953 when he departed for the USA. His wife went
ahead to America in 1952. Miguel Chaves was destined to work for
various forms of governments, each at its separate and appropriate
time. This time, in America, he joined the California State
Government where he remained until 1986, whence he retired. During
his tenure with the state government, he attended night classes,
for 21 years, at the Golden Gate University majoring in
Transportation. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree, in 1974.
This book describes Miguel's ups and downs, adventures and
relationships with many people during the various stages as an
employee of a municipal government, a colonial government and a
state government. It also describes a person who aspired to come to
America to fulfill his highest dream. This dream has reached its
realization. As a government employee he incurred the wrath of a
few malcontents, for being a stickler oflaw and order, whose aims
were to amass fortunes regardless of the consequence and sufferings
they might inflict on the middle class and underprivileged people.
