When he was a baby, Ng Pok Kong lived with his parents in Nam Kok Road, Kowloon City. But when he grew into a toddler, he moved to his aunts’ houses in Nga Tsin Wai village for a few days during his relatives’ festive celebrations. Back then, the village was so dark at night one could barely see one’s hand in front of one’s face. This made Ng Pok Kong very frightened. There was a huge sewer (Editor’s note: now Kai Tak Nullah) opposite the village. During his childhood days, he and his two younger uncles often used to fish here, using cans to catch small fish and tadpoles. The nullah was like a small river with no fence on either side where one could jump into the water.
