Sim Chi Yin

Zhou Qun, formerly a primary school teacher, was the sole person to survive being clubbed on the head with a hoe and then being tossed into a limestone pit with 31 others. She climbed out of the pit after seven days. This dent in her skull is all that remains physically of the trauma, but nightmares of her children dying in her arms continue to haunt her 50 years on.
