| Description | The pressures on a young working-class boy to win a scholarship...the child is the
last of eight, and the only boy, combining in his person the demands of traditional patriarchal Chinese family hopes and the modern socio-economic aspiration of contemporary Singapore...he breaks under this intolerable pressure and opts instead to explore the dying tradition of Hokkien Street puppetry. |
