李光耀在1965年新加坡脱离马来西亚宣布独立后成为第一任总理，直至1990年宣布退位。退位时，他67岁，以一个经验丰富的政治家来说，这个年纪并不算太老。他辞任的消息公布后，国际媒体都感到震惊，纷纷赞扬他急流勇退，说他丝毫不恋栈。 卸任后，他依然留在内阁，从未真正退出新加坡政治。他就像守护天使般，对国家大小事严格把关。 在不少西方学者和媒体的眼中，李光耀是独裁者。在他们看来，新加坡是一个保姆国家， 然而，在另一些人眼中，李光耀却是一位英明、有远见的领导者，而他的治国模式更是不少国家希望学习的对象。 对普通新加坡人来说，李光耀又是什么样的形象呢？ 李光耀本人或许并不会在乎我们怎么看待他，因为他曾说过，他不需要受人爱戴，而是要令人畏惧。 人，本是复杂多面的。一个人在我们眼里是什么形象，取决于我们从什么角度看他。 相信不少新加坡人也跟作者一样，对于李光耀，我们的心情是复杂的。我们可能不太能接受他的一些作风和曾经推行的政策，但却不得不感激他为我们建立了稳定繁荣的社会。 作为一名与国家一起成长的新加坡女子，作者写这本书，不是为了评论李光耀，也不是要论述所谓的新加坡模式，作者希望做到的，是从一个普通新加坡人的角度，通过夹叙夹议的方式，书写在李光耀时代的成长经历，为大家呈现的，是一个不一样的“新加坡故事”——\u003cbr\u003e\n一个新加坡平民的新加坡故事。
