My late grandfather came from the province of Fujian, China before World War 2 to escape poverty and hardships to the land “flowing with milk and honey” called Malaya. Hard work has always been my late grandfather key secret word when looking back on how blessed we are now.
Recently, I went to China with my family to trace my roots. It was an eye-opener experience for me. We saw a bunch of women washing clothes in the longkang. Yes, longkang, minus the urinated shit in the longkang.
Unlike in Malaysia, where we have either the morning or afternoon session. Here, the school session starts early in the morning at 7.30am and ends at 5.00pm. No wonder the Chinese are so hardworking. Kiasu maybe.
After the school visits, we happened to know what the Chinese had for their recreation: Playing snooker.
Interesting account of China…visit the link for more pictures =)
