After peace was declared, Ng Hung On was redeemed from Sai Kung to live in his uncle’s home on Ta Kwu Ling Road
Ng Hung On continued to live away from home even after pease was restored. Ng Hung On was sought to Sai Kung for two years during wartime. When his elder uncle (Editor’s note: The cousin elder uncle of Ng Kwong Yip Tso.) who worked as a sailor returned from the US to Hong Kong after the War and was told the conditions of Ng Hung On’s family, he redeemed Ng Hung On from Sai Kung. He arranged Ng Hung On to live in his home on Tak Ku Ling Road, and sent him to school. Two years later, Ng Hung On was seriously ill. His cousin elder uncle’s wife, who was a Buddhist, resorted to mediumship. The medium said it was unsuitable to keep him with the family, and he should be sent back to his parents’ home. At the time, Ng Hung On’s family also lived on Tak Ku Ling Road. Ng Hung On’s younger brother was also sold as a child labour in wartime. He was redeemed by a relative after the War. After Ng Hung On returned to his parents’ home, he took care of his younger siblings. At the time, her younger sister was a newborn, and her mother worked as a launder in the airport. Ng Hung On had attended the evening school for 1 to 2 years.
