历史

Hong Shee was born in 1880 in Toishan. She arrived in Canada in December 1911 as the wife of businessman, Lee Thung, who had arrived earlier in 1889.

Her husband was influential and the family was quite well off. Like many women of her time, she stayed home and raised her two children: Alice and Kepment. Hong Shee did not interact much with Caucasian society and confined herself to her home or to Chinatown.

Some of her later years after her husband passed away in 1955 were spent living first with her son, and later with her daughter.

Hong Shee’s great granddaughter, Lisa Lee, shared that “While she lived with my father (her grandson Ian Lee), she did not cook, as the daughter-in-law did the cooking. But, during the Spring Festival, Hong Shee would make amazing dumplings and zoong (glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaves). My father says that the ones shaped as crescents were so delicious. He has, to date, not tasted better dumplings or zoong.”

Mrs. Lee Thung passed away in 1973.
