Ng Chin Hung was born in Nga Tsin Wai in 1960 and is one of the 27th generation of the Ng Clan from the village’s Ng Hon Ko Tso descent line. Ng Chin Hung’s ancestors were large-scale owners of indigenous land and lived in a big house outside the village walls. They also owned several parcels of land around Yuen Leng and Tai Hom. Ng Chin Hung’s great-grandfather had bought a number of houses in the walled village in the 1900s. His great-grandfather, grandfather and uncle were sailors dating back three generations. Ng Chin Hung’s father worked in the Hong Kong police for around 30 years. Ng Chin Hung studied for his primary and junior secondary education at La Salle College. Upon graduation, He worked as a gold trading broker and antiques shop salesman. In 1994, he went to Guangzhou where he was involved in the financial and clothing businesses. Eleven years later he returned to handle the acquisition of his family’s ancestral houses in Nga Tsin Wai. Soon after he served as the Secretary-General of Ng Shing Tat Tso, Manager of Ng Hon Ko Tso and also Secretary of Nga Tsin Wai Village Committee. Ever since he was small, Ng Chin Hung had heard village elders speak of the unfair way indigenous inhabitants had been treated by the Government. After he inherited his family’s properties as an adult, Ng Chin Hung began to take a closer interest in village and clan affairs. Refusing to resign the fate of himself and his fellow indigenous villagers to the mercy of outsiders, he did all he could to reach an agreement with the Urban Renewal Authority for the redevelopment of the village. He also felt happy for being able to keep the three treasures of Nga Tsin Wai – Village Office, tablet and Tin Hau Temple.
