Andy’s Super Movement: Bring Sinology to the World

I was born on Trengganu Street in the heart of Singapore’s Chinatown — a place alive with the echoes of Chinese operas, Getai performances, pop music and Rediffusion broadcasts in Cantonese. Back then, even the non-Chinese spoke Cantonese. Mandarin was foreign to me. English? Nonexistent. I only started learning both when I entered Primary One.

As Singapore modernised, so did I. English became my dominant language — the language of school, work, and success. But something precious was buried beneath the noise of progress: my deep-rooted love for Chinese culture — its wisdom, values, and soul.

Then came a turning point in 2017. I was in Hainan, China, attending a multi-day spiritual training with over 400 participants from China and Taiwan. By a stroke of fate, I was chosen through a lucky draw to be one of just three people to speak from the heart on stage.

As I stepped forward, something stirred deep within me. I spoke these words — words that shook the hall and drew thunderous applause:

“In Singapore, where Chinese make up 75% of the population, our cultural soul is fading. We see families in courtrooms, airing private disputes on social media. We see elderly parents neglected, harmony fractured. I am nearing 60. I want to dedicate the rest of my life to bring back the essence of Chinese culture — not just to Singapore, but to the world.

I declared that with my bilingual skills and lifelong study of Chinese history, literature, and philosophy, I would teach Sinology in a way that speaks to today’s world — using modern tools, real-life stories, and accessible language: English. Because those who need the wisdom of Sun Zi, Lao Zi, Zhuang Zi, Confucius, and Yijing the most… are often those who cannot read Chinese.”

From that moment on, I never looked back.

Since then, I’ve authored a book on WeChat, and two books on Yijing — all in English. I’ve spoken on countless stages, conducted training sessions, and led corporate leaders, seekers, and professionals into the timeless beauty of Chinese wisdom — reframed for a modern, global audience.

This is my SuperMe Movement. Not a return to the past, but a rising of the soul — to awaken a future where East meets West, where ancient wisdom meets modern purpose, and where culture becomes a bridge, not a barrier.

I am Andy Ng. And I will continue walking this path — until the world remembers what it once knew in its heart.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...

You think 'Dear You' is Special? Wait till you watch 'Niu Lai'

The film is 《牛来》 (Niu Lai / The Cow Is Coming ) , an 86-minute Chinese animated film released on 5 August 2026. It was reportedly made by a mother-and-son team over 5 years, mostly hand-made, without sophisticated production technology or AI. The production cost is only RMB 1,680 . Initially, it was a disaster. In its first ten days, it reportedly earned only about RMB7,700 . The animation looked extremely crude, publicity was almost nonexistent, and it appeared destined to disappear. Then something extraordinary happened. The worse people said it was, the more people wanted to see it Pictures and clips began circulating online because the animation looked so amateurish. People mocked it. The mockery went viral. Instead of killing the movie, the criticism became its marketing campaign . People began thinking: “Can it really be THAT bad? I have to see this for myself.” Even cinemas reportedly posted unusually candid warnings about its rough production quality, effectively...
