My dad & mum's picture taken at Jumbo Seafood Floating Restaurant in HK (circa.70s)In one of their last trips together overseas in the mid 1970s, they visited Hong Kong and Guangzhou where their relatives came to meet them. Travel back to the mountainous region from where they came from took days, and therefore my parents were too old to go back to their village. So my dad, after toiling and working and sending money back to his nephews to rebuilt their ancestral home, a 14-room house on top of a ridge, did not even go back to see it built or completed before he died in 1991.
