Her father went to the jail when she was a little and her mother remarried to another man and this step father also leaved them and stay with another lady.

Even though Wanching has had a hard life but she didn’t giveup, always managed to find solace in her studies and she is doing so well in HOU and at the school. She helps her mother to take care her brother and sisters in House Of Union, because her mother stay faraway from HOU.
