During CY Kong's childhood in Nga Tsin Wai, villagers cherished neighbourhood relations. They paid respected to the elderly even if they were not their relatives. In the village lived two brothers surnamed Lee who moved in from somewhere else. The older brother was said to be a retired soldier. He hawked snacks such as candy, biscuits and peanuts outside the gatehouse. Villagers called him as ‘Dried Seed Uncle’. Sometime later he opened a store (i.e. today’s Yan Sang Tong Drugstore) with the help from some senior villagers. CY Kong and other kids often bought snacks from him. He had witnessed the kids growing up. When he passed away, CY Kong and other teenagers took part in the funeral procession all the way up the mountain, for which Dried Seed Uncle’s brother was grateful.
