Since he started to understand things, Ng Siu Kei had had the impression that his father was working for the Village Office and the Ancestral Trust every now and then. His term of Village Headman was not long, yet he cared not about the title but was only concerned with what he could do for his village. He cared about everything concerning the village, big or small. He was concerned even with trivial things such as the replacement of Chinese couplets on the village gate and the shortage of players in a mahjong game at Village Office. To Ng Siu Kei, of all his father’s contributions to the village, the most impressive one had to be the Pavilion of Wind and Rain. What’s more, Ng’s father was also enthusiastic about affairs of the Ancestral Trust. In the old days, when worshipping the ancestors in the graveyard, money would be shared among only the males in a clan. One year in the late 1960s, when the clansmen went to worship their ancestors in Shatin, Ng’s father voices out that any female who wanted to worship the ancestors should be entitled to a share of the money. This suggestion was agreed by the clansmen present, and was recorded in the Worship Book. That practice passed on to nowadays, and had a big influence over the Ancestral Trust. Ng’s father had always devoted himself in public affairs, and he only let go until he got really ill. He took his father as a role model, and was greatly driven by him to serve the village and the Ancestral Trust.
