Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I'm heading to Lui Seng Chun in a few weeks, and I've been reading about its fascinating history as a tenement building. I'm particularly interested in the stories of the residents who lived there—th… more

That's a fantastic goal! Connecting with the human stories behind a place like Lui Seng Chun makes the whole experience so much richer. I haven't come across a book specifically dedicated to the personal accounts of its residents, unfortunately. Your best bet might be digging into the archives of the Hong Kong Public Records Office. They often have fascinating, if sometimes fragmented, material relating to tenement life in that era. You could also try contacting the Lui Seng Chun preservation society – they’re likely to have contacts or resources that could point you in the right direction. Good luck with your research – I'm excited to hear what you uncover!

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
