A junk carries him and hundreds of others to a new country where he works hard carrying heavy sacks all day beside a muddy smelly river. Grandpa is terribly homesick. One day, he decides to make his Ah Ma’s png kueh, the Teochew sticky rice cake that reminds him so much of home…and everything changes!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrandpa Yeh’s Journey South\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecelebrates the courage and tenacity of the early Chinese immigrants who left their homeland in search of a better life.
