He had worked in the Public Works Department and was responsible for electrical works. Kwong Kwok Hung's mother was an indigenous resident of Tai Lam Liu Village, Sha Tin. The Kwong family lived in an old building in Yau Ma Tei in the early years. In 1954, they purchased a house at No. 33 of the 1st Lane and worked hard to create a dwelling place of their own. Kwong Kwok Hung grew up in Nga Tsin Wai and had many close friends there. He did not like studies and quitted school in the junior secondary stage. He had been employed for different jobs, including machinery plant apprentice, factory worker, sailor and electrical appliance shop apprentice until he joined the Public Works Department through his father’s referral. In the Department, he worked in the Diesel Section and was responsible for mechanical works. In the late 1970s, he left the Public Works Department and opened a factory manufacturing electronic accessories with a relative who lived in Nga Tsin Wai. But he withdrew from the business several years later. In 1969, he married a neighbor and moved out of Nga Tsin Wai Village. He had lived in Chinese tenements in different districts in Kowloon until he was allocated a public housing flat in Sha Tin. In the mid-1980s, the Kwong family sold their property on the 1st Lane and his parents moved out of Nga Tsin Wai. In 2006, his good friend Ng Chi Wing became the village headman of Nga Tsin Wai. At the request of the newly appointed village headman, Kwong Kwok Hung began to help with the village affairs.
