My Grandfather’s Suitcase: A migrant’s journey from China to Nanyang
What was it like for a 19-year-old man to leave his hometown in China in the early 20th century?
What did he have to go through to bring his family to then-Malaya?
When Gaik Siang’s grandfather passed away in 1997, he left with her an English-made suitcase that contained important documents with interesting backstories.
