wEnt dW to the village side both my grandfather n grandmother side's village. sO nice to see the pLace where my ancestors come from n the place my mUm was bOrn and sTayed till she was 6 befoRe cOming to sIngapore. the whoLe place remains mi of the setting of a show "ping qiong de dai jia" A war show i love to watch when i wAs yOung. heaRd stOries abt the japanese war frm them tOo.
feLt so pitiful abt tis granny i saw. this is her story:
she is my grandfather's brother wife, befOre the japanese occupation her husband came to s'pore and was running a quite well-to-do coffee shop business and his wife was applyin to come over tOo. unfOrtunely, WW2 came n he was killed by a japanese at the age of 30+ and his wife eventually was struck in china until now.
