Although he and his wife fell in love at first sight, they still needed a matchmaker to arrange their marriage
Ng Sai Ming and his wife fell in love at first sight. During the Japanese Occupation, Ng Sai Ming worked in a grocery store named Yee Fat in Kowloon City. His wife was a vendor of vegetables on Lion Rock Road. Since she frequently visited the grocery store, she and Ng Sai Ming left each other a good impression. Although the two did not talk, each time they had eye contact when they met. One time, the two were walking back to back in opposite directions. By coincidence, they both turned around to glance at each other. From that, both of them knew that they were in love. A matchmaker contacted them later on, not knowing that they had been acquainted before. When asked whether he would accept the proposal, Ng said yes straight away.
