Both Ng Siu Hung, his father and his grandfather was borned in Nga Tsin Wai. He almost stayed in the village for his entire life. Ng Siu Hung was born in Nga Tsin Wai in 1943 and grew up in his ancestral home with his parents and an elder and a younger sister. His grandfather regularly smoked opium in the village while his grandmother farmed pigs to support them. Ng Siu Hung was born during Hong Kong’s occupation by the Japanese army. His father had worked as a farmer during his early years and was over 40 when Ng Siu Hung was born. As the older man was forced into hard labour away from his home by the Japanese occupiers, he was not present when Ng Siu Hung was born. After the war ended, Ng Siu Hung’s father returned to Hong Kong and ran a hawker business with his wife. The older man subsequently took up a Government job at the airport when his son was around 10. Ng Siu Hung’s grandparents and father all lived and died in Nga Tsin Wai. Ng Siu Hung himself was born and raised in the village, getting married and starting a family in an ancestral property his grandchildren also called home.
