Wu Brothers had deep feelings about his homeland because it was a revolutionary village
Wu Guo Qiang and his brothers grew up in Mainland China. In the early years, when they filled out biographical documents, their father would tell them to write ‘Baoan’ instead of Nga Tsin Wai, Kowloon as their place of origin. It was not until the Gang of Four was overthrown that they began to put ‘Nga Tsin Wai in Kowloon, Hong Kong’ as the place of origin. When chatting with friends, however, they usually said their homeland was ‘Hong Kong’. They paid no special attention to Nga Tsin Wai because they seldom wrote to the clansmen in Hong Kong. They only asked about Nga Tsin Wai in passing when meeting Ng’s clansmen who came to Guangzhou to discuss clan affairs. As to the recently proposed demolition and redevelopment of Nga Tsin Wai, the Wu brothers would like to have their homeland preserved. The Wu brothers have deep affection for their hometown. It is because their ancestors had lived there for a very long time. Besides, Nga Tsin Wai was the base of revolution: their father Wu Hua You, an Nga Tsin Wai villager, had devoted himself to the cause of revolution since his young age, people like him are uncommon in Hong Kong. Now, when the Wu brothers come to Hong Kong to handle clan affairs, they would take their children along, so that they can see their place of origin with their own eyes and offer incense at the ancestral hall.
