Peggy Lee was a trailblazer. Born in 1923, by the age of 17 she owned her first hair salon on nearby Hastings Street. She eventually expanded her business outside of Chinatown and operated four successful salons in downtown Vancouver catering to an elite clientele. Peggy served on the home front during WWII. Later in life, she rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous; married a Caucasian at a time when interracial marriages were rare; and made headlines when she gave birth to triplets. Warm, intelligent and incredibly generous, Peggy styled hair well into her late 80s.
要數唐人街的先驅人物，便不得不提 一位名為 Peggy Lee的女士（中文姓名不詳）。她
生於 1923 年，17 歲時就已在喜士定街經營自己的髮廊，後來更把生意擴展到唐人街以
外。她在溫哥華市中心開設了另外四間髮廊，其顧客都是社會精英，而其業務亦蒸蒸日上。
Peggy女士在第二次世界大戰期間曾經參軍並在加拿大本土服役。其後，她有不少機會
接觸到非富則貴的人士，更與一位白人成婚。在當時的社會，異族通婚是極為罕見的，加
上曾經誕下三胞胎，令她成為頭條新聞人物。Peggy女士為人親切聰明、慷慨無私，雖
然到了八旬年紀，仍然繼續為顧客提供髮型設計的服務。
