Once in Shatin, they had to walk for more than two hours before reaching Wong Nai Tau Village. Sometimes, the pair might take a boat at Shatin Railway Station to Chap Wai Kon and then stroll the rest of the way to save some time. When in the village, Ng Chi Wing usually stayed in his mother’s family home for one or two days. As his uncle and other relatives used to give him pocket money, he felt very happy there!

He also used to go back to his mother’s family’s home for Chinese New Year, sometimes bringing a pig and chicken along as gifts.
