Ng Yiu Fai grew up in the walled village, only leaving when he was 10 or so, retaining a few traditional concepts when he did so. He thinks that the ancestral hall still exists today and that as he belongs to his ancestral line, tai gong (ancestor) will always be tai gong. He hopes that the clanship will continue and will be very sad if it is lost during his generation (i.e. the 28th in the line). He also worries about clanships’ future during his children’s generation. Ng Yiu Fai was interested in things from his forefathers’ days when he was a child, but every time he asked his father to tell him more, he was scolded for being nosy! When he was young, Ng Yiu Fai had only the barest idea about his ancestral heritage. Only after his family emigrated to Canada leaving him alone in Hong Kong did he gradually begin to take interest in such ideas. He hopes that the next generation will follow a similar path. Ng Yiu Fai does not wish to deliberately indoctrinate the next generation and only takes his son to attend the clan affairs in a subtle attempt to cultivate his interest.
