Biography

[edit]

Little is known about Cheung's birth and childhood life except that she was a relative of the Qing Dynasty official Zhang Yinhuan (張蔭桓) (1837–1900), who was involved in the Hundred Days' Reform movement in 1898, and that she was born to educated parents in Foshan.

In 1916 she was married to Yip Man in Foshan and they had four children: sons Yip Chun (葉準) and Yip Ching (葉正) and daughters Yip Nga-sum (葉雅心) and Yip Nga-wun (葉雅媛).[1]

According to her son Yip Chun, she and Yip had never quarreled. Cheung herself was a traditional Chinese woman who was solemn, supportive, and tolerant of her husband.[2]

After the Communist victory in the civil war, Cheung, her husband Yip, and their elder daughter Nga-sum left Foshan for Hong Kong in 1950. Soon after they arrived at Hong Kong through Macau, Cheung and her son returned to Foshan to retrieve their identity cards. However the closure of borders between China and Hong Kong was established in 1951, and Cheung was separated from her husband for good. Unable to go to Hong Kong, she remained in Foshan where she died of cancer in 1960, while her children would eventually be reunited with their father in Hong Kong in the 1960s.

Her daughters would eventually marry; one to a husband with the surname of Ng (), another to a husband with the surname of Ng (), but with a different pronunciation.[citation needed]
