“I grew up in Happy Valley. I’ve been living here and selling eggs since I was 10 years old and it’s been over 40 years now. My family used to live in the Jockey Club staff accommodation on Blue Pool Road (藍塘道). My father was a stable boy and looked after the horses for the races. He would get into work at 3am to walk the horses, to clean and feed them. We used to wake up to the sound of trotting horses every morning around Happy Valley. Dad would be done with his shift at 6am; and would then start his second job – selling eggs at the market. I am the middle child in a family of five children and I was the only one who couldn’t study well, so I ended up selling eggs with my father.”
「我喺跑馬地大嘅。10歲起就喺呢道賣雞蛋，依家已經40幾年喇。我細個屋企住喺藍塘道（Blue Pool Road）, 係賽馬會職員宿舍。我老豆係做馬夫嘅，負責照顧啲賽馬。佢凌晨3點就開始帶啲馬去行街，做清潔呀, 同餵啲馬。我哋跑馬地以前日日晨早就會聽到啲馬喺街周圍行。老豆凌晨6點輪完早班。跟住就開始佢第二份工作 – 喺街市賣雞蛋。我屋企五兄弟姐妹，係得我讀唔到書，所以我跟咗老豆賣雞蛋。」
