A fortuitous find in Hokkien Cemetery off Bukit Brown helped to reunited descendants of Singapore to their ancestor tomb today ... the tomb may also help to connect the descendants of Singapore to that of China, as the tomb inscriptions and newspapers archives match the genealogy record as described by the relatives of China … the journey continues…
This was transcribed according to the genealogical records of Yingyun Ancestral Hall.
29th Generation Descendant of Yin Qing Gong
**Pi Zong Gong, known as Zan, courtesy name Shen Hou, fourth son of Mei Shi Gong**
Born in 1860 AD, passed away in 1938 AD, at the age of 79.
Married Ms. Zhang Yuniang, later married Ms. Lin Yulan Niang.
Eight sons: Tiancheng, Tianfu, Huoyan, A'e, Ruihe, Tianwen, Tianci, Tiande.
Gong (Poh Chwee Chiang) went to Singapore to make a living at an early age, initially working in the scrap business. He later prospered and founded the Hengxing Loan Depot, achieving great wealth. He was highly respected by the British and Europeans there. He contributed to the public welfare and ancestral projects of his hometown. In 1927, he donated one thousand yuan for the renovation of the ancestral founder of Fengzhou Kaijin. In the year of Guihai in the Republic of China (1923), he and two others, Guanghou and Boshi, shared the expenses for the renovation of the ancestral hall, donating and covering the costs. The expenses were divided into ten shares, each thirty yuan. They organized a banquet to commemorate the ancestors at the ancestral hall on the Winter Solstice. In the year of Xinwei in the Republic of China (1931), he remitted funds to Huogui to build Dexing Residence to honor the founding ancestor Zishun Gong.
Now Poh Heng Boon from his village, Anxi, is currently residing and actively searching for the descendants of Poh Chwee Chiang in Singapore. It is hoped that the descendants of him will see this message and contact us at 13788836859 to fulfill the long-held dream of family reunion.

Tomb artifact
A tentative identification of a panel theme
二度梅 The Plum Trees Blossom Twice
This is a novel written during the Qing Dynasty which has been adapted for opera performances. During the Tang Dynasty, the upright official Mei Kui was framed by his political opponent Lu Qi and executed. Luckily, Mei Kui's son Mei Liangyu (梅良玉) escaped. Eventually, he took up a position as a servant in the house of Chen Dongchu where he fell in love with the Chens' daughter, Chen Xingyun (陈杏云). Chen happened to be a good friend of Mei Liangyu's father and when he discovered Mei Liangyu's identity he decided to betroth his daughter to him. Unbeknown to them, the villain Lu Qi had put up a memorial to the Tang Emperor to dispatch Chen Xingyun to foreign lands for a political marriage.
The scene in the panel shows Mei Liangyu bidding his beloved Chen Xingyun farewell, as she rides off with a troop of attendants as befitting a marriage procession.
Thus ends the first part of the novel, There is a second part where the pair get back together again but that is a story for another day.
