Socializing with Kwun Yam Shan villagers when cutting grasses
Ng Fat Chuen's faimly was familiar with villagers from Kwun Yam Mountain. It was favourable for him to organize ancesotr worship. Before 1957, the Ng Hon Ko Tso branch worshiped their ancestors twice a year. It was the idea of Ng Fat Chuen’s mother. Ng Hong Ko Tso’s grave was located in Mau Tat Village on Kwun Yam Shan. Everyday villagers carreid firewood and bamboo broom downhill and sold them in market. At that time Ng Fat Chuen and his mother reared pigs in Chuek Yuen Village. Although they alread had enough firewood in their store room, hey were willing to offer a favourable piece for buying firewood and bamboo broom from them. By doing so, the country people did not need to worry about carrying unsold goods back to Kowloon Peak. Through this kind of trade they became familiar with the villagers. Ng Fat Chuen thought it would be difficult to go up hill for worship had there not been such friendship.
