Shun Tak Women
Firstly, I am from Shun Tak located in Southern China Guanzhou and specifically Canton or Kong Tong in Cantonese. Well Shun Tak men are not that well known or should I say stand-out but the Shun Tak Women especially a group that Dedicated their lives towards the silk industry are rather well known.
I came across two books titled "Down Memory Lane in Clogs" and "Lotus From The Mud" very good reading material if one is to know who are these amazing women from Shun Tak! Below is an excerpt of the books.
I am rather taken aback when my daughter decided to do a play on the "Amahs" or "Majie" in Malaysia. Well, she managed to interviewed one 93 year old majie living in Kuala Lumpur! This reminded me of my own journey back into finding my "roots" which took me back to Shun Tak in 1999 where i met my uncle who was 93 then!
This coming 4th February to 9th Feburary, dawn's play Women Of Silk River will be on and the whole family will be turning up in support of her debut performance! For more information please visit the link below! thanks!
