 :\n\nSet against the backdrop of the Australian Goldrush of 1857\, Yong is
  an Australian play by Jenevieve Chang. Mixing historical fact and narrati
 ve fiction\, Yong takes us on a journey across land and sea\, from China t
 o the goldfields of Australia.\n\nYong and his father leave their small vi
 llage and travel across the seas hoping to strike gold and find their fort
 une in the goldfields of Ballarat. However\, despite his family’s desper
 ate need for money\, Yong does not want to be on this journey. On the surf
 ace\, he is an honourable son\, but bubbling below is deepening resentment
  for his father and a longing for home. Faced with momentous change\, Yong

  Books Australia Pty Ltd\, Sydney.\n\n“Innovatively adapted… a dynamic
 \, contemporary and poignant play.” - Broadway World\n\nAn event for H
