Stake attention in this memory
The image displays a biographical exhibit featuring two vintage photographs and accompanying text in both Chinese and English, set within what appears to be a framed display in a museum or exhibition. The top photograph is a black and white portrait of a young woman, identified as 何爱榆 (Ho Oi-yu, also known as Grace Ho), who lived from 1907 to 1996. She is shown from the shoulders up, looking slightly upwards and smiling gently. Her hair is dark and styled, and she has distinct facial features. The bottom photograph is a black and white group family portrait. 何爱榆 (Ho Oi-yu) is seated in the front row on the left. To her right in the front row is a young boy identified as her third son, 振辉 (Chun Fai / Robert Lee). In the back row, from left to right, are her eldest son 忠琛 (Chung Sum / Peter Lee), her second daughter 秋凤 (Autumn Phoenix / Phoebe Lee), her eldest daughter 秋源 (Autumn Source / Agnes Lee), and her second son 小龙 (Little Dragon / Bruce Lee). The family members are all dressed in period attire and are smiling. The visible text provides a detailed biography of 何爱榆 (Ho Oi-yu), noting she was Bruce Lee's mother, originally from Shanghai, and had Asian-European mixed blood. She was connected to the Hedong family, a prominent Hong Kong family. Her adoptive father was the wealthy merchant Ho Kom Tong. She graduated from St. Joseph's in Shanghai and moved to Hong Kong in 1926. The text also recounts her romantic love story with Lee Hoi-chuen, a Cantonese opera performer, whom she married after giving up a comfortable life. The context suggests the display is highlighting her life and family history, likely in Guangzhou, China.
