The Price Of Peace Child Actress Jean Seizure Says Her Classmates Thought She “Died For Real” After This Scene

The final episode of Mediacorp variety show The Reunion saw host Lee Teng, 38, along with The Price Of Peace cast, take viewers back again to the era of highly-charged WWII-themed dramas. On the previous episode, we had Christopher Lee, 51, Rayson Tan, 58,  Lina Ng, 48, Hong Huifang, 62, and Carole Lin, 49, salivating over former actor James Lye’s hot bod. 

In this episode, the cast was joined by guests like scriptwriter Ang Ee Tee, as well as the former child actor who played Sweet Potato Boy, Guo Suxing, 37, both of whom called in virtually. (Sadly, still no sign of James Lye)

But the biggest surprise was when former child actress Jean Goh (better known by her stage name, Jean Seizure), 32, turned up. She used to be a frequent face in Chinese dramas, and played Hua in The Price Of Peace. Jean, who’s now a singer and stunt double, can pretty much be described as a second-gen celeb. After all, her parents are local singers Wu Kang and Xia Hui.

As the cast bickered over whether Jean still looks like she did when she was a child (Huifang says she recognised Jean instantly, while Christopher asserted that kids look very different after they grow up), a classic scene from The Price Of Peace played in the background.

Lina shared that Jean, who was only five then, basically had to cry for every scene, particularly this one, where she was tied to a cart and couldn’t escape when the Japanese planes flew in to bomb the street she was on.

“I remember it felt pretty tense. At first, they wanted to scare me (…) they thought it could speed up filming, but I wasn’t frightened, and couldn’t get the tears out,” Jean recalled. She went on to add that she was eventually swept up by the emotions of the other actors, and managed to cry in the end.

Hilariously, Jean also went on to share that after that particular scene aired, there was a ‘commotion' in school the next day. 

“My classmates thought that I was actually killed in the bombing,” she said, adding: "When they saw me, they all cried.” Aww, that’s… sweet, we guess?

Of course, that was not the only scene in the show that evoked tears.

Huifang recounted a particular scene that she avers was a big reason she eventually nabbed the Best Supporting Actress award the following year. The first part of the scene showed her being held outside a military police station, with her husband sacrificing his life in an attempt to protect her.

“In another scene, when I push [my husband’s] body back, as I wailed, I could feel my heart literally ache,” Huifang recalled.

She went to to add: “Those heart-rending, mournful wails made every crew member cry. Even the director cried.”
