I have received 5 years primary school education at Y.M.C.A. Primary School at Blk.19, Shek Kip Mei R/E. In 1970 as I was fed up with books so I gave up the study and stayed at home. I didn't find a job.

About a year ago my father was working as a cook in Chuen Cheong Kui Restaurant in Tai Po Rd. The living of the whole family was dependent on him. In recent half year my father didn't go to work due to old age and stayed at home. The family then relies on my sister whose monthly income is about $500.

In 1971 I was arrested by police for committing

a robbery and was subsequently sentenced to Kwun Tong Hostel for half a year. Later, I was again arrested for smoking opium and was fined $50. In 1972 I was again arrested for Possession of Offensive Weapon and was sentenced to jail for 8 months. I was discharged on 10.1.1973.

I didn't apply for a Hong Kong Identity Card

About a year ago while playing in the vicinity of Pei Ho Theatre, Pei Ho St. I came to know a male called HO So-kuen (0149-5685-2938). After then we often gathered together. In this connection I was also introduced by HO So-kuen to know HO So-ming (0149-5685-2494) @ Ah Tim (7093-3240), and Kong Tiu Chuen (6921-2742-0356). We often played with each other in the vicinity of Pei Ho Theatre. I also remember that HO So-kuen has introduced his wife 'Fai Mui' to know me.
