Old : Thursday Challenge.

Great-Grand Father Chan Kwong Kwok 

 At 18, Great-Grand Father Chan Kwong Kwok was a Xiu Cai (an equivalent of a bachelor’s degree). He was the only Xiu Cai in the village. Unfortunately, because the family was poor, he could not pursue his further studies to the ultimate the Zhuangyuan(状元),

Great-Grand Father was headhunted and offered the position of the “governor”, the head of this big company Kong Nan Seng Agricultural Co, in August, 1907. The directors of the company scouted Great-Grand Father because they found him well educated and an upright man of high calibre.

Whether I go to Kuching, in Sarawak. He takes me into the jungle to see orang utans.

I was eleven years old when Henry was born. Aunties said that he had a high fore head and he looked like Great Grand Father. They predicted that he would become a high official of the king like the old days.

In deed, 150 years after from when Great Grand Father was scouted, Henry has an important job, and our Great Grand Father would be very proud of him.

The theme for this week is Mood. The whole family is happy for Henry's achievement.
