Giok Hong’s love towards Tek Siang was almost sincere when catastrophe swept across Gang Pinggir. During the difficult period at the dawn of the Old Order, they were forced to separate. The Primadonna of the Chinese Orchestra “Tjahaja Timoer†was trapped in the intriguing whirlpool of Taukes’ greed. She was used by Tek Siang as a bait to entice his enemies, as well as using her as his mistress.
Later, Giok Hong fought to rebel against her fate. Her resistance was in a form of a secretive disguise. Allegedly, Boenga Lily was the incarnation of Giok Hong who tried to reclaim her fame. Unfortunately, a greater power tried to eliminate her.
