摘　　要："红头巾"是20世纪上半叶在新加坡建筑行业形成的一个广东三水籍华人妇女劳工群体,因其头包四方红头巾的共同形象特征而得名。作为特定时期具有明显地缘、业缘特征和族群认同意义的女性移民群体,"红头巾"在海外勤勉节俭、刻苦耐劳、不屈不挠求取异域生存的同时,为新加坡城市建设作出了重大贡献。Red Headband refers to a group of female Chinese laborors who emigrated to Singapore from Sanshui of Guangdong province and all wore red headcovering. Being industrious and thrifty, the Red Headband survived stoically on an alien land and made great contribution to the urban construction of Singapore, representing the typical features related to specific clan, trade and geography.
