When Pei Pin Street’s squatter houses were demolished, Ma Sui Wai was relocated to a seven-storey building
After living on Pei Pin Street for years, Ma Sui Wai’s family was resettled to Block 5 of the Tung Tau Resettlement Estate under the government’s demolition policy. (Editor’s note: Block 5 of the Tung Tau Resettlement Estate was completed in 1959.) The family had lived there for about 30 years. Ma Sui Wai’s father originally worked as a luggage porter at the airport. When they moved to Pei Pin Street, he made a living by selling candies and snacks in the living room besides leasing the mahjong sets. Later on, he was given a street shop in the resettlement area for continual operation of the grocery store and two flats at the monthly rent of $10. Ma Sui Wai continued to live with his parents after he was married.
