This is a chronicle of the Penang Po Leung Kuk, a welfare organization founded in 1888 for the purpose of providing refuge and rehabilitation for the victims of the trafficking of Chinese women and girls.

The Chinese, being the largest ethnic group in the city since 1788, was, like other immigrant communities, allowed to administer their own affairs through their headmen in the first 25 years of the colony history. This book is devoted to describing the development of the Penang Home, from a halfway house to being the “best home of its kind in Malaya”. In the process, a history of the Chinese in Penang, the social problems related to that community and the leading personalities behind the PLK’s 89 year history is told.

If you're drawn to untangling the threads of history and culture, "Behind the Forbidden Door" is like a well-drawn map into the labyrinth of China's once closed-off world. Tiziano Terzani offers not just a tantalizing glimpse, but a deep dive into the complexities of a society that has long fascinated outsiders. His account is particularly compelling for those interested in the contrasts between the rich traditions and the wave of modernization that swept through China during the 20th century.
