In conjunction with SHF2024’s theme on Built Heritage, discover the lighter side of the Samsui women who built our nation, such as the often-misunderstood-story behind their red headscarves, the food they avoided eating, where they used to hang out and what special festival celebrations they held dear to their hearts. Join Pauline Fun, a Samsui-descendant, on a tour around Chinatown as she weaves her family story into the larger social history of these celebrated strong women figures.
