这本《牛车水人说牛车水的故事》的英文标题翻译为"The Chinatown man narrates the Chinatown stories"，因为这本书是由一位已经与新加坡的水车路地区（通称牛车水或唐人街）有着80多年历史的八旬老人写成的。作者何乃强在这个地区生活和成长了22年，在离开牛车水后，他会不定期返回这个地方半个多世纪来帮助管理他已故父亲的生意。这本书包括了牛车水的早期历史及其各种行业、私立学校、道路和街道的命名，以及该地区的一些知名人物。作者以第一手资料记录了他与许多人的相遇和交往，他也参观了建筑物，光顾了商店，并目睹了一些传统文化活动，因此被认为是可靠而生动的。
这本书为新加坡的历史做出了贡献，为研究者提供了有用的参考资料。
The title of this book, translated into English, "The Chinatown man narrates the Chinatown stories" is most apt as this book written by an octogenarian who has been associated with the Kreya Ayer Area, popularly known as Niu Che Shui or Chinatown of Singapore, for over 80 years. The author lived and grew up, attended school in this area for 22 years before he moved out, after which he had to return to this place regularly to help manage his late father's business for over half a century.
