Can you tell me about my great-grandfather, Grandpa
All right, let me tell you a little about his life. My father had a very hard life. His parents died in China when he was young. He had three elder brothers but they couldn’t look after him because they were too poor. So he came to Hong Kong. That was about a hundred years ago. There was no railway 5
back then so he walked all the way. When he arrived in Hong Kong, he worked in a shop. At first he lived with the shopkeeper’s family. His room was small and dark.
Why didn’t he turn on the lights
People used oil lamps at that time, not electricity like we use today. The 10lamps weren’t very bright.
Did your father have any toys when he was young
No, he didn’t. Your parents can buy you toys but he was poor so he couldn’t afford toys. There were no televisions either. But on festival days he made his own special toys
like lanterns for Mid-Autumn Festival.
15Thank you for telling me about my great-grandfather, Grandpa. Now I know how lucky I am.
