Chow Lee: Lee and Year Separation

chow lee: Born in China in October 18, 1911, Lee was nicknamed Nooey Quen meaning women's rights in English, according to Toronto Star. Her toughness helped her overcome war, poverty, a 14-year separation from her husband, and the drawn-out legal battle for government redress, said her son Yew Lee. She was 105. She was a tough lady, determined, committed and stubborn, someone who had a strong sense of justice, said Lee. A native of Taishan, Chow Lee married to Guang Foo Lee in 1930, when he returned to China from Canada to find a wife. Yet, she was a very loving mother and grandmother. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
