Ng Siu Hung remembers his childhood as being a time of innocence and fun. He grew up with clansmen with similar ages. He went home after classes dropping his school bag and rushing out to play with his friends. He was a naughty boy back then and liked to run and hide amongst the houses. As his neighbours were mostly relatives, they all knew him and his playmates very well. They simply shot marbles and picked soda bottle caps from the sandy ground, scuffling playfully in a group as they did so. The playmates also went up into the hills to catch jumping spiders and pick gooseberries and wild gooseberries. On hot days and during holidays, they paddled in the water in the huge sewer (Editor’s note: now call Kai Tak Nullah) and went swimming in the valleys of Diamond Hill which was free of any water pollution.
