Streets of Memory Episode 1

Located in Chinatown, Keong Saik road is adjacent to Kreta Ayer road, it has only 62 shophouses. In the early 20th century, amongst the few women who sailed from China to Nanyang to make a living, some worked as domestic helpers, also more commonly known as “majie”; some worked in the construction site as the “samsui” women and some others were sold to become pipa girls. Hence, there were many pipa houses in Keong Saik Road.
After the 50s and 60s, the pipa houses gradually disappeared and replaced by many brothels. Over time, Keong Saik Road was widely known as a red-light district. Former Pipa girl Yue Xiao Yan who was interviewed by the Tuesday Report team in 1992, had maintained contact with the team over the past 25 years. Yue shared her story as a pipa girl and her encounters during the Japanese occupation. She passed away at the age of 96 years-old shortly before the screening of this documentary. Also, changes of Keong Saik Road would be told by the descendant of the brothel operator, and narrated by Charmaine Leung, who grew up in Chinatown.
