In the past, Nga Tsin Wai villagers did not care about whether they are 'indigenous inhabitant'. Ng Chi Wing thinks that life was much simpler in Nga Tsin Wai during the old days as no one was interested in tracing back their history or rights. Only when people thought about their small house and burial rights did they discover they needed to look into their identities as “indigenous inhabitants”. Ng Chi Wing stresses that no matter whether in urban area or the New Territories, many people had been living in their dwelling for generations. Many urban residents’ ascendants had come to Hong Kong as far as their grandfather’s or even great-grandfather’s generations. Their only difference between themselves and the New Territories residents was that they did not live in a village. Ng Chi Wing remains puzzled as to why urban residents did not have any small house rights.
