A Many Splendoured Thing-Dr.Han Suyin

Just recently Dr.Han Suyi passed away at age 95 years.  She was the author of the famous book, "A Many Splendoured Thing", which was world re-known in the 1950s.  I have heard about her from my friends when I was younger, but did not have the chance to read her book.  The interesting fact is that she has been a doctor practicing in Malaya ( that was the name of our country then) in the state of Johore in the 1950s.  People knew her as a good and dedicated doctor, and popular with the guys too because of her Western looks.  You can read more in the link above.
