In Kwong Kwok Hung’s home, the kitchen was situated at the end of the ground floor. It was connected with the porch by a corridor above was built a staircase leading to the second floor. The L-shaped kitchen had the width equivalent to that of an alley in the village and was installed with two stoves. When the Kwong family moved in, they no longer used the firewood but cooked with a kerosene stove. The family took a bath in the kitchen beside the stove for boiling water. When they bathed, they would close the small window which opened to the 2nd Lane. There was a water tank next to the kitchen. Because the government frequently implemented the water rationing measure, Kwong Kwok Hung’s father, who was a plumber and electrician, built a water tank with cement so as to eliminate the trouble of fetching water from the public standpipe with a bucket. The tank, which had the capacity of several buckets of water, was not a facility in most of the village houses in Nga Tsin Wai. But, with the water tank built, the Kwong family could not open the back door as some other village houses. Kwong Kwok Hung’s father did all the repair works for the water pipes and household electrical appliances. Kwong Kwok Hung and most of his peers had equipped themselves with some kind of ‘technical skills’ for practical use, so all households in the village painted their own houses.
