Ng Yiu Fai moved out of Nga Tsin Wai in 1972. After leaving, he occasionally returned to the village mainly to visit his grandmother. After the old lady finally moved out, he returned to the village less often. The amount of time he stayed during these increasingly infrequent visits varied. Sometimes, his trips would last a whole afternoon. On other occasions, he would only stay for as much time as it took to offer incense in Tin Hau Temple and ancestral hall. Influenced by his parents while growing up, he would burn incense and greet and chat with his former neighbours every time he returned to the village. Although some neighbours did not share his surname and were not really family, Ng Yiu Fai still addressed them as “uncles” and “aunties”. Examples included Auntie Hung, a neighbour who had watched him growing up. Ng Yiu Fai thought that neighbourhood relations had been very good in the past as everybody took care of one and other and happily sharing their food. This was especially true of kindness towards the elderly. Villagers liked to entrust others to do the marketing on their behalf. If ever his mother felt ill or uncomfortable, Ng Yiu Fai would go to the market to buy ingredients for meals with his neighbours and cook for his family.
