She was born in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, China in January 1928, married to Kam Cho Leung (on May 21st, 1968) in Hong Kong. The family immigrated to Canada in December 1969, stayed approximately a year in Calgary with daughter Susie before settling on Trinity Street in the East End Vancouver in 1970. She continued devoting herself to raising her family in Canada despite the cultural and language struggles, for which she had not been prepared; perhaps due to lack of formal education a typical barrier for Chinese women of her times.
