After my father's brother in Chai Wan asked us to move immediately, my mother contacted one of the brothers in Hong Kong who was number 2 to accommodate us as a family for a while.
Stay at Hong Kong uncle's house number 2 in Tsing Yi
Then the four of us brought our suitcases, which were 2 red and white blue bags that are often used by Hong Kong locals to store things. At that time, we had to be frugal, so my mother sometimes only cooked 1 plate of vegetables as a side dish for the four of us to eat at lunchtime.

Kicked Out By Hong Kong's Uncle's Wife Number 2
Uncle has 4 daughters who are in high school and college, and all still live with them. My uncle's house has 3 bedrooms: 1 room for my uncle and wife, 2 other rooms are used by 4 of my cousins. After we were in their house, the four of them lived in one room and the four of us in the same room. My younger sister and I were in the top bed, and the parents were in the bottom.
A month later, my uncle's wife, in an unpleasant tone asked us to look elsewhere on the grounds that their house was too full and we had interfered with their daily activities. We are not angry with them, because what my uncle's wife said is the truth.
I became disappointed at that time because I saw the Hong Kong brothers who were once kind and respectful of my parents now look down on us. From then until now, we have never had any contact with my parents' brothers and my mother's two older brothers who are in Hong Kong.

Living in the house of the daughter of Hong Kong's first uncle
It just so happened that the daughter of the oldest maternal elder brother in Hong Kong, whom we had never met, came to visit Tsing Yi. After he found out about our situation, he invited us to stay at his house in the Tin Hau area.
My female cousin is almost the same age as my mother, and she is a property agent. Since he lived in a big house alone, he didn't mind us living with him.
At first, his attitude towards us was very good, but one day his attitude changed, and he found a small apartment that had been divided into 2 units, and one of the units was the place where we were moved. The change in attitude was caused by the female cousin believing in a good friend who had Feng Shui knowledge and said that having us at home would bring bad luck.
A few years later, this sister's older cousin became hostile to her good friend, who was a Feng Shui expert. Then he, who initially had 5 luxury apartments in Hong Kong, went bankrupt. My parents at that time also gave him money in return for helping us in times of need.

My father and I started looking for work
We had been back in Hong Kong for a few months and still hadn't heard from aunt number 2, so my father decided to start looking for a job and look for an elementary school in Hong Kong for my sister.
Due to our family's very poor financial situation at the time, I also had to start looking for a job when I was 16 and continue high school at night school. At that time, at the age of 16 had already started working, which is not uncommon in Hong Kong.
