| Lo Yau's Lecture Romance of Sam Tung and the Hakka people in Tsuen Wan | |
| Content: | Famous radio storyteller “Lo Yau” is not telling fictional stories this time, but lecturing on historical anecdotes about Sam Tung Uk, a traditional Hakka walled village that was founded by a Chan clan who settled in Hong Kong in the 18th century. The clan’s distant ancestors can be traced back to Fujian province. Chan Yam-shing, the 13th ancestor of the clan came with others to Tsin Wan (present-day Tsuen Wan). They worked hard to earn their living, and more importantly preserve their Hakka tradition. Through the lively and dramatic presentation by Lo Yau, the struggles and achievements of the Chan’s clan as well as the Hakka people of Tsuen Wan can thus be well explained. The character “Lo Yau” is played by Patrick Pak, a renowned local dramatist and historical educationist. |
