Growing up in a large extended Taoist influenced Peranakan family filled with strong women, Soh hears these words of 'wisdom' daily. She used to live in a world where clipping finger nails at night was strictly forbidden, pointing at the moon would result in one's ears getting chopped off, and children were forced to stay indoors during sundown for fear of collision with evil forces. A world where mental disorders and illnesses were believed to be caused by malevolent spirits. Talisman, mediums and fortune tellers were a part of everyday life.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46722384035998,"sku":"UBD-9789814882101","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9789814882101.jpg?v=1776318046","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9789814882101","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
