Reading and Role Playing Session on Ah Fu The Rickshaw Coolie by Choong
Kwee Kim Ah Fu The Rickshaw Coolie tells the rags-to-riches tale of a poor rickshaw puller by the name of Ah Fu, who sails from China to Malaya to seek his fortune in late 19th-century colonial Penang. Narrated by a girl named Siti the Storyteller, the story, in rhyming couplets, tells of how Ah Fu finds not just fame and fortune in the new country, but is also hailed as "King of the Road." Choong Kwee Kim is a journalist with the sub-editing desk of The Star in Penang. Prior to joining the company in 1995, she was a teacher at the Ipoh Methodist Girls' School where she taught English and Art. Ah Fu The Rickshaw Coolie, published in August last year by MPH Publishing, is her first children's picture book which she wrote and illustrated.
