Scope and Content: Vivian Lee’s short film covers six decades of her life experience. The film tells the story of Vivian’s parents and their difficult time during the Second World War, including a harrowing journey on the Burma Road. Vivian describes her idyllic childhood in post-war Burma, where she was the sixth of eight children, and her life in Singapore and Hong Kong as a young woman. The film includes Vivian and husband Alan’s decision to move to Canada. The couple briefly lived in Burnaby for a short period, during which time their daughters were born. A short while later they moved to Vancouver to care for Alan’s parents. The film concludes with the couple’s return to Burnaby for their retirement, and Vivian’s expressions of appreciation for the many things that bring her joy.

History: Vivian Lee was born in Rangoon, Burma, in 1950. Her parents moved to Burma from China in the 1930s. Vivian was the sixth of eight children. Two older siblings were born in Burma, and survived a perilous escape from Burma along the Burma Road during the Second World War. Vivian was the first child to be born in post-war Burma, after her parents returned following the war. The family lived in Rangoon for a period, before moving to a home in the suburbs where Vivian spent an idyllic childhood. After graduating from university, Vivian moved to Singapore, and then to Hong Kong. She worked for a large pharmaceutical company in Hong Kong, where she met her husband, Alan. The couple emigrated to Canada with Alan’s parents (in the 1980s?). Daughters Cynthia and Adrienne were born in Burnaby, before the family moved to Vancouver to care for Alan’s parents. Alan and Vivian have recently returned to Burnaby for their retirement years. They are active volunteers and grand-parents, and Vivian has been developing her watercolour painting skills. Vivian produced the short film in order to pass the legacy of her family’s history on to her children and their offspring. She notes: “I am happy and honoured to share my life story with others in the community. I think it gives all of us a chance to contribute to the mosaic of our shared heritage. I am so proud to be a Canadian citizen and feel very fortunate to live in a multicultural society. I believe it is through sharing these life stories that will make us stronger as a nation.”

Description: Wedding dress, c.1907. Converted to day dress. Cream and white pouter pigeon bodice with lace and high collar. Full skirt and separate cumberbund. The shape of this dress is exemplary of the Edwardian pouter pigeon front, with a tiny waist to match. In museum records, there is a copy of the original wedding photo; on the back is written "shows dress before alteration to current state as day dress." The only readily noticeable differences are the absences of lace trim in the cuff and on the china silk bodice rosettes.

Object History: Made by Pattie Adelina Pearson, for her marriage to Charles James Mitchell in Gravesend, Kent, England on September 26, 1907. After, they travelled immediately to Canada, living in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, her daughter and son being born in the latter province. Pattie moved to Vancouver in 1918, where with the exception of the period when she lived in Victoria, she lived until her death in October 1981 at the age of 101 years. She would have been 27 years old when she wore the dress.

Description: Wedding dress bodice, c.1906. Ivory china silk with glass beads. Long sleeves and small round neckline. Matches skirt HV982.20.2, also in AB106-S27-3E. Under the small high neckline, there is a yoke covered in tiny pin tucks. It is in an oval shape on the front bodice and triangular in the back, and it is edged with a pattern of white and clear beads. The bodice back is plain below this, but the front has two layers. On the first, under layer, there is a centre front closure with hooks and eyes. On the left, the yoke is edged in beading and the rest is plain. On the right, the yoke is not edged with beads; it also angles further down towards the centre front. Below the yoke, the lining fabric is half exposed (on the side furthest from centre). On the fabric-covered side, there is a small patch pocket. The second, top layer is made of the same ivory silk. It is attached at the right shoulder, armhole, and side seam. This panel lays flat at the bottom of the yoke, edged with beads. It attaches with a hook and eye at the lower left corner of the yoke, and the panel was originally tacked together in pleats on the left side. The bottom is edged in beading, and would have hung in a curved shape. Under the top panel, the bodice shape is produced with twelve bones on: one large back panel, small back panel on either side, and one front panel on either side. The sleeves are long yet small leg o' muttons, gathered at the sleeve cap and narrowing to the wrist. At the cuff, there is the same white and clear beading pattern. Among the right sleeve's beading there is a single blue bead, perhaps for the bride's 'something blue.'

Object History: Worn by Anna Laura Gilbert when she married Walter Campbell Lauder in Ontario, July 1906. Donated by Annis M. Underwood, the second daughter of Anna. Annis was living in New Wesminster at the time of donation.
