In the past, Ng clansmen naturally felt closer to clansmen from the same branch as they came from themselves. That said, clansmen rarely had conflicts of interest, so differentiation along branch lines was not really that meaningful. Many second branch clansmen from Shek Ku Lung Village died or moved away during the Japanese occupation. Clansmen whom Ng Sui Mo knew from his family’s branch rarely participated in Nga Tsin Wai’s celebrations and festivals unless there was roasted pork to be distributed! At that time, the second branch had many wealthy clansmen. For example, Law Sam Kee (Editor’s note: a sauce plant) in Sha Po Village which was run by second branch clansmen. The main second branch people who now contribute to village affairs are Ng Chi Wing and Ng Sui Mo. As the second branch clansmen could only trace their ancestral roots back for several generations, some clansmen questioned whether they really were surnamed Ng. Ng Sui Mo said with a smile that identifying oneself as coming from the second branch carries no benefits. Ultimately, second branch clansmen can only pitch in money and effort without being entitled to a share of any property.
