Si Jing (the pen name of Ng Soo Lui) was a prolific female writer in the Chinese community. Born in Singapore in 1934, she has written extensively on her childhood and life in Chinatown. Si Jing married her childhood sweetheart, Huang Da Li, in July 1952. They held their 17-table wedding banquet at the Great Southern Hotel. The bride is wearing a silk satin ‘sam kun’ (blouse and skirt), while the groom is wearing a Western-style suit. This photograph is part of the donor’s personal photograph collection.
