Si Jing, the pen name of Ng Soo Lui, (second from the right) 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. She had four years of formal education at Yangzheng School. Five of the girls including Si Jing are wearing their school uniforms—which consist of a white dress with a collar, pleated skirt and a belt. This photograph is part of the donor’s personal photograph collection.
