Ng Siu Kei got married at the age of 29 and his eldest daughter was born soon after in the same year that the sons of his third younger brother and fifth younger sister entered the world. His father treated his grandsons and daughters the same without showing any favouritism. The kids were so close they all began studying at the same kindergarten, arriving home each day at between 3:00 and 4:00pm. To welcome them back, their grandfather would place three bowls of macaroni in the table on the first floor. Ng Siu Kei’s mother had a very traditional mindset, taking better care of her grandsons than her granddaughters. Ng Siu Kei’s wife was unhappy about this and grumbled. Sometimes, the situation between his mother and his partner stopped just short of outright confrontation. As a result, his wife suggested they move out and set up her own home. Ng Siu Kei eventually gave into his wife’s nagging and they bought and moved to a flat in Kowloon Walled City to avoid further arguments. Having to leave a place he had lived in for 20 to 30 years made Ng Siu Kei very frustrated and sad. The pair’s move also made his parents very unhappy. This was especially true of his father who hoped very much to maintain the traditional walled village bonds where the entire family, both young and old, lived together. Although he now worked at the airport and had moved out of 5th Lane, he returned there regularly after work and only used his flat in Kowloon Walled City for sleeping in.
