It was an amazing scene that villagers song mountain songs on opposite sides of Kai Tak Nullah. In the early days, when young men and women went cutting grass in the mountains, they could not talk to each other as they were too far away. As a result, they learned to communicate by singing mountain songs at the top of their voices. Ng Sui Mo’s idle uncle wooed and married his wife, a rural woman from the New Territories, by singing mountain songs! Many unmarried young men and women stood on opposite sides of Kai Tak Nullah every evening, singing such songs in both local and Hakka dialects. Such sessions generally lasted from after everyone’s evening meal to bedtime. The singers often stretched all the way from Sha Po Village at the mouth of the nullah to Tai Hom Village at the nullah’s end. A lot of couples became engaged and married this way. While Ng Sui Mo and other kids often gathered at the side of the nullah to hear the melodious singing, they did not really understand the words of the songs.
