Ng Chin Hung was a very mischievous boy when he was little. As there were no computers or TVs back then, he liked to stroll around, playing hide-and-seek in the village and visiting the Tung Fong and Yue Hwa China products stores in San Po Kong. There were bicycles for rent in the seven-storey resettlement blocks at an hourly fee of 50 cents or HK$1. After school, Ng Chin Hung used to rent the bikes with his buddies from the village, exploring Kowloon Tong, Lo Fu Ngam, Kowloon City and To Kwa Wan as they rode. Sometimes, the boys went down to the sewer (Editor’s note: at Kai Tak Nullah) in search of adventure. The water there was very dirty and was all sorts of different colours because of how the wastewater from the nearby dyeing plants had mixed with the source water from the mountain stream. As polluted as it was, eels could still be seen swimming inside. After the rain, the whole sewer filled up with sloughed-off sand that workers had to come and clean up every month or so. Ng Chin Hung’s playmates included Skinny Yin, Ah Ming, Wah Tau, Ah Kuen and Ng Shui Chuen’s son. All of the boys were a little younger than him and no longer lived in Nga Tsin Wai.
