Elizabeth Choy

Through out history, there were many war heroes but, to me, Elizabeth Choy of Singapore is the one I idolise the most. As an adult, she taught at many schools, imparting knowledge to others, but when the second world war came, she became a victim. She and her husband lost their jobs, her husband was imprisoned for being a chinese informant and soon she followed suit.
During her days as a prisoner, she was tortured horribly by the Japanese, but she overcame all ordeals and when she was about to pass away, she said she only wanted to be a loverb of peace, thus I idolise her.
