Our 1st Generation in Malaysia..



Were Ah Kong's parents the 1st Generation of Lee's in Malaysia?

My history is hazy, at best. But based on what I can recall, I think Ah Kong's parents must be the first generation Lee's in Malaysia, from China.


These photos are precious.

And if you look close enough, Ah Kong's mother's bound-feet are very much evident on this photo. I saw a documentary not long ago on China's women and their bound-feet. It was an amazing story..the pain and agony that were brought to bear on women of those days..only people of that generation can understand and really know what it really meant (and felt) then.
Maybe some of us may have photos of the generation right before this, showing scenes back in Fujian perhaps?
