While he may have left his ancestral home, Ng Hung On’s sense of belonging to Nga Tsin Wai never wavered
Ng Hung On had one daughter and two sons. Although none of his children had lived in Nga Tsin Wai, they would certainly return to the Village for ancestral worships and festive activities such as celebration of the Birthday of Tin Hau if they had the time. It is because Ng Hung On had told them that their ancestors came from Nga Tsin Wai. Ng Hung On said he had a strong sense of belonging to Nga Tsin Wai. He had personally repaired the ancestral hall jointly with Ng Siu Hung, a member of his branch. Although he lives in Tsuen Wan now, he always visits the Village for a chat with his uncles and granduncles. This gives him more fun than staying at home. It was his parents’ decision that they lived on Tak Ku Ling Road. His mother did not want to live in a rented house in Nga Tsin Wai. It is because the thought that others’ ancestors died in the house upset her. But, this is inevitable as far as their own ancestral house is concerned: Ng Hung On’s great great grandfather, great grandfather and grandfather all died in their ancestral house.
