Bidding farewell to his home and old friends, Ng Sui Kuen moved to the UK while still very young
In 1967, leaving his home and old friends, Ng Sui Kuen moved to the UK to reunion with his father. His father moved to Britain alone in 1961. When he first arrived, he stayed at his cousin brother’s home in Liverpool and worked in a fish & chips bar. One year later, he moved to Newcastle and was employed as a waiter in the chop suey restaurant operated by a Chinese and then transferred to the Kam Tin Restaurant. When his father returned to Hong Kong for the first time in 1966, he also arranged Ng Sui Kuen to move to Britain. Ng Sui Kuen arrived at Britain on 29 May 1967. Thanks for his clan brother Ng Siu Kin who worked in the airport, Ng Sui Kuen was offered a piece of cake on the airplane. It was because before the takeoff, Ng Siu Kin told an air hostess that Ng Sui Kuen was his younger brother and asked her to take good care of him. Ng Sui Kuen appreciated very much his kindness and still keeps it in mind now. In Britain, he lived with his father in Newcastle. They shared the bed in the restaurant dormitory. Three months later, his father asked a foreign lady, who was his former colleague, to take care of him.
