Ng Chuen Kung’s family moved out of Nga Tsin Wai to a big house in Tung Tau Village in the early years

Ng Chuen Kung (CK Ng) was born at home in Lai Chi Yuen, Tung Tau Village, in 1924. His family hired a midwife to deliver his birth and collected a birth certificate for him. When he was born, his father was already in his 50s. Because it was so long ago, he did not know well about his grandfather or his the former generations. He just knew that their tombs were in such places as Tseng Lan Shue and Lion Rock Mountain. His father had a large house of a couple storeys in Lai Chi Yuen. CK Ng and all his elder brothers were born in that house. A tiled house with a small courtyard, it faced a big garden of tens of thousands square feet. There was an orchard full of fruit trees on the uplands nearby.
