Ng Pok Kong was born in 1951 and was raised in Kowloon City. Ng Pok Kong’s family also owned lot of land they rented out in order to make money. His elders just sat by, gradually watching as their land dwindled away. Ng Pok Kong’s grandfather studied at Queen’s College and did not really work at a proper job after graduation, instead relying on the rent received from the land, farming and raising pigs for his living. The old man was regarded as a fop who lived a carefree life and left his wife to take up all the burdens of work around the house and farm. Ng Pok Kong’s grandfather was much better educated than his fellow villagers. When Ng Pok Kong was small, he often visited his grandfather’s home near Tung Tau Village. Ng Pok Kong’s family members were educated people who did not care about the village or clan affairs and seldom took the villagers’ side. However, should there be any important decisions to be reached in the village, his grandfather would play a major role. As a result, his fellow villagers dared not dispute his words or actions. One day, Ng Pok Kong’s grandfather decreed that the open space behind the new ancestral hall be leased to either a grocery store or fruit shop with he himself pocketing the rent. He continued to profit from this arrangement for many decades.
