SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT

The Prisoner was brought up in his childhood years at Wo On Lane, Central, Hong Kong. When their wooden hut was burnt down, the family had moved to Sai Kung, New Territories for a year and to Habe Haven (Pak Sha Wan), New Territories, for half a year.

In April, 1965, they were allocated a room at No. 404, Block 7, Valley Road Estate, Hunghom, Kowloon. The monthly rent for this room is $65, and the Prisoner's family have lived there to the present.

The Prisoner, however, had lived outside his home since about 1971 after a quarrel with his father. He lived at a neighbour's home at Room 419, Block 7, Valley Road Estate. His period of residence there was about half a year.

In about 1973, he began drifting between apartment houses and guest houses for a few months, and then he settled down with his girl-friend at a room at No. 28, Kowloon City Road, 3/F., Kowloon.
