My family tells me I was delivered at home by midwives. At the time, we lived at 257 Wanchai Road. I grew up in Wanchai and got to know many children living nearby. What we loved most was playing football after school in the side streets which were quite wide. At the time, situated at the end of Wanchai Road was the warehouse of the Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Co; around the corner from Nanyang Theatre used to be their office building. That street was our football field. Below that were Morrison Hill Road and Tin Lok Lane; there was a tram track there. It wasn’t dangerous to play on the streets then as there weren’t many cars.
