Ng Siu Hung grew up in a big family in Nga Tsin Wai. Both his elder and younger uncles were respected elders. Ng Siu Hung’s father originally had more than ten brothers and sisters, most of whom had died young, leaving only his father with his eldest and youngest brothers. Ng Siu Hung’s eldest uncle had poor hearing in his old age and villagers called him “Deaf Uncle”. In his early years, Deaf Uncle was employed by shipping companies like Swire and P & O, working on ocean liners. When he was around 60, Deaf Uncle retired and returned to Hong Kong having spent most of his life working overseas. The old man had held the title of “Committee member” (the former name for Manager and Director) and handled the affairs of the village and clan while still young. He was also the person in charge of Tin Hau Temple. Ng Siu Hung’s youngest uncle became a policeman upon completion of his studies, initially working as a civilian sergeant. After a quarrel with some people with backgrounds, he was demoted to a uniformed role. As a result, he soon quit and returned to the village. Already a policeman before the war, this uncle worked in law enforcement for more than 20 years. Despite having won the trust of the villagers when managing village affairs and ancestral properties, he held no official title and was rarely ever photographed in public.
