Si Jing’s husband, Huang Da Li, sitting on a railing

Huang Da Li was a literary writer before settling into the Chinese medicine business. He was also an amateur photographer. In July 1952, he married his childhood sweetheart, Si Jing (the pen name of Ng Soo Lui), a prolific female writer in the Chinese community who has written extensively on her childhood and life in Chinatown. Together, they had three children. In the photograph, Da Li is wearing a Western-style outfit which consists of a long-sleeved shirt and trousers. This photograph is part of the donor’s personal photograph collection.
