“I am a man of the water. I grew up in a family of fishermen and was the eldest of ten kids. We lived right here at the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter, but with all the land reclamation the landscape has changed a lot. I watched as the Cross Harbour Tunnel was built from scratch in the early Seventies. I’m around sailors a lot; they are a friendly bunch and often treat me to meals, like going for seafood at Po Toi O. The job is not easy as I’m always exposed to the sun, wind and rain but I’m really used to it by now. We are boat people after all, so I’m in my element when I’m at sea.”

“I am 74 years old and I live with two of my brothers. We don’t really see our other siblings anymore - unfortunately we’ve lost touch and people are busy and scattered all over. I enjoy sailing as it gives me the opportunity to travel around the world and meet lots of interesting people. I went to Melbourne with my boss a few years ago for a sailing race. We even had movie star Tony Leung on our sailing boat once. That was such a memorable experience for me as we normally only see him on screens and he’s so famous - but he was a very personable guy!”

「我哋舖頭喺油麻地新填地街。你聽個街名就知道呢度成條街都係填海填出嚟嘅。我哋隔離啲舖頭以前全部都係同航運業有關，而家就完全唔同哂喇。我喺呢間舖頭長大，有好多回憶，以前會喺阿爸隔離幫手，跟住佢做，又會同啲細佬妹玩。我阿爸好平易近人，我哋嘅感情好好，但係我冇機會見過我阿爺，佢係我六歲嘅時候過咗身。油麻地嚟緊又會再重建。我留起咗好多講呢個地方重建發展嘅剪報，因為我對呢個社區同埋呢度啲舊樓好有感情。我唔知會幾時開始重建收樓呀，到時嚟到我就唯有準備好，光榮結束呢間百年老舖囉﹗」

「我今年74歲，同我兩個細佬一齊住。我哋冇乜點見其他兄弟姊妹喇，好可惜係失咗聯絡，大家都忙，住喺唔同地方。我好鍾意揸帆船，因為佢令我有機會周圍去遊歷，認識到好多有趣嘅人。我早幾年同老闆一齊去咗墨爾本，參加一個帆船比賽。梁朝偉仲上過我哋隻船添。好記得，因為平時淨係喺螢幕上面先會見到佢㗎嘛，佢咁出名，但係都好平易近人！」
