The diaspora of the Ng Shing Tat Tso offsprings affect the clan cohesiveness
A native of Dongguan, Ng Shing Tat Tso branched out to villages in Shatin, Sai Kung, Tseung Kwan O and Lung Kwu Tan after settling in Nga Tsin Wai, Kowloon. Ng Sui Mo heard from the elders that there had been contacts between Ng relatives living in different places in the past. However, the scattered clansmen rarely came back to celebrate their shared ancestral roots. Nga Tsin Wai’s Ng clansmen regarded people living in other villages who were also called Ng as their relatives though no blood relationship had ever been formally verified. While his elder brother Ng Kau worked as a seamen at tea, he talked with a colleague who had the same surname, only to learn the man was a descendant of Ng Shing Tat Tso following his move to Tseung Kwan O. Tseung Kwan O’s Ng clansmen belong to the second branch. Tseung Kwan O is located in the New Territories while Nga Tsin Wai lies in the urban area. Tseung Kwan O’s clansmen worried that if they acknowledged Ng Shing Tat Tso as their ancestor, they might lose their male indigenous inhabitant rights.
