Sio Huay (Little Flower) was born at the Sintan Village, a few months before the Japanese invasion. The invaders ravaged the village, raping, killing and robbing the defenceless villagers. A shameless urchin, Sio Huay, lived a colorful life even after her marriage to Ah Goo, a laborer at the Singapore River. She continued with her wayward lifestyle even after her husband's death. Her 'love-child' eventually chased her out of the house and abandoned her in a Nursing Home where she lived the rest of her lonely life among strangers.
