vr Fung, we would like you to give your evidenos pleuse,

with regard to those graves.

I lost a brother 38 years ago. He died when he was 9

years old, and he was buried on Mount Davis. For three

years, I saw the grave, and when they fourth year

came,

the grave was not there. The place was simply

levelled.

Q.

This is some time ago ↑

21 587.

A.

35 years ago. My second son died when he was five years

old. That was 19 years ago, and he was buried at Mount

Davis. For two years, I saw the grave, and the third

year, the grava was gone. Both of these graven had

stones marked, and with the names on them, too.

The Chairman:-

And do you think, Mr Ping, that that is probably the

general custom, and is going on at the present moment,

stones taken a way and graves levelled ?

A.

A.

I think that is the practice of the sextons.

Have any of your friends told you of similar

experiences ?

Yes. When I made enquiriss from the Tung Wa Hospital,

about my second son, of course, I did not make

enquiries about my younger brother, because I was too

young then, - I made enquiry about my son'q gravo, the

Tung wa Hospital people made angry and reported to me

that no trace of it could be found.
