No hard feeling when moved away from Nga Tsin Wai
Kwong Kwok Hung got married at the age of 21 when he was still working in the Public Works Department. After marriage, he moved out of Nga Tsin Wai with his wife because the house was too small. His wife had lived in the village longer than he did. Before she was married, she lived on the 5th Lane next to Ng Siu Kei’s family. Kwong Kwok Hung had no feelings when he moved out of the village. To him, it is natural for a married person to move out of the family. He rented a room in Hung Hom and then moved to other places such as To Kwa Wan and Jordan Road. In every place, he lived in a rented room for 6 months to 1 year. About 6 years after moving out of Nga Tsin Wai, he moved back with his family when Tsang Ngan Mui offered the 2nd floor of her house on the 1st Lane for lease. Kwong Kwok Hung rented the flat for a low rent, and his children were taken care by their grandparents. About one year later, Kwong Kwok Hung moved into a public housing flat of Lek Yuen Estate in Sha Tin with his wife and children. Kwong Kwok Hung submitted the public housing application when he was still working in the Public Works Department. As a civil servant then, he had greater chance of success in the application. He had lived in Lek Yuen Estate for more than 20 years. Now he lives in an Home Ownership Scheme flat in Ma On Shan which he moved in some years ago.
