This work chronicles the valor and actions of the Macanese as they confronted piracy in Chinese waters, particularly focusing on a significant figure, Cam-pau-sai, and the challenges faced by the Portuguese in maintaining their foothold in Macao. The author aims to highlight the bravery and heroism of the Portuguese in their conflicts against both pirates and foreign forces. The opening of the text sets the stage by discussing the inherent risks of documenting the deeds of living heroes while emphasizing the need to honor their contributions to history.
