Description of manuscript content:
This manuscript is the seventh of 12 volumes titled “Ouw Pe Coa.” It is a folk tale that tells the story of Heyan Ting, who vowed to repay the kindness of his aunt who had raised him since childhood after he was abandoned by his biological mother. From a young age until he completed his higher education, it was his aunt who supported him financially, enabling him to earn a degree and secure employment. Because of this, Li Kong Hu asked Heyan Ting to look after the well-being of his cousin and to help him obtain a job in the government. Heyan Ting also promised to assist with his cousin's marriage.
