9. Return To Malaya

Cargo Ships

In 1927, our grandmother Wong Sui Cheng and our father Chung Chow, then age 12, returned to Malaya to be reunited with our grandfather Chan. Father Chung Chow mentioned that it was his granduncle Ying Kau who relayed the news that grandfather Chan might take another wife, and that prompted them to return to Malaya as soon as possible. With Ying Kau's help, they traveled the same route from Hong Kong to Penang by cargo ship, and then from Butterworth to Taiping by train.
