Maintaining connection with clansmen in Lamma Island
Ng Fat Cheun maintained a close relationship with his fellow clansmen in the same branch. Ng Hon Ko Tso had descendants in Tai Peng Village, Lamma Island. Driven by the traditional believe of recognising oneself with the ancestors, they maintain contact with their relatives in Nga Tsin Wai through attending Jiao Festival and going to worship. Ng Fat Cheun is also belonged to Ng Hon Ko Tso. While he was studying in Lok Sin Tong Primary School from 1949 to 1951. As a child, he was naughty and fearless, and would go swimming at Lamma during summer vacation. He would spend one night in Tai Peng Village at Ng Shui Gun or Ng Yau Hei’s house. Yau Hei welcomed Ng Fat Chuen warmly and did not mind that he was poor. He would take Ng Fat Chuen to swim at Yung Shue Wan or take a boat out and catch fish for him from the sea. The tie between the two families lasts until today. As owners of boats and houses, Lamma clansmen were considered quite well-to-do within the clan.
