The pioneer
Mrs Sui-King Chang left Hong Kong in the 1950s to meet Yung-Hsien, the man she would later marry. Sui-King is today one of the last surviving first generation Chinese migrants. She talks about her journey to Ceylon by ship and her husband’s pioneering business, the New Chinese Shop on Chatham Street, which the family still runs. Photography by Kannan Arunasalam.
