Before Leung was born, Ng Wai Chi was Village Headman of Ng Tsin Wai. At that time, Village Headman was elected by the villagers in the ancestral hall. Besides, only villagers with the surname Ng, Lee or Chan were eligible for the run. Those with other surnames were auxiliary, but they could be appointed as Village Representatives, who would exercise full power in the absence of Headman. Whenever a quarrel ensued among villagers, Ng Wai Chi certainly intervened and always managed to resolve the conflict with reason because the villagers were quite simple and respected the elders in those times. Ng Wai Chi had never been Manager of the Ancestral Trust, but he recommended the younger generation to take up the post.
