Yeoh Chee Koon Visits Yeoh Village In China


 
The room where Qing Pei’s parents stayed.  When they were first married, they occupied a room in the school next door that Hong Seng built. 




Yeoh Hong Seng's photo is above the abandoned school/ (inset enlarged photo) 

Above is the adjoining house of Yeoh Khuan Joo on land jointly shared between himself and Yeoh Hong Sengs ancestors. This house was built in 1955 with money from his 4 sons. The name of Yeoh Khuan Joo can be see above the entrance 

Entrance to hu’s house.  Note the “Sei Ji” inscription above the door.

Marker outside his Yeoh Khuan Joo's house naming the son’s contribution.  A Wen will send me a clearer version of the inscription.


And this is the view looking from Yeoh Khuan Joo's house onto the back of Yeoh Hong Seng’s house, with the building in between destroyed by a fire.
Pointing out to me the Yeoh character partially hidden above the entrance to the Yeoh ancestral temple in the original Yeoh village where 3 of 6 brothers made their abode.

This house of Yeoh Tau Chui ,the eldest son of Yeoh Hong Woo, was built in 1980 in the same grounds.  Tau Chui made good in Malaya and sent money back for YKJ schools that Yeoh Ghim Cheow passed to him.
