Saint Too Canaan's Secret?

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College next week for a school visit. My cousin went there years ago and swears they have some crazy hidden tunnels under the old part of the campus – apparently,… more

That's a fantastic experience! Lui Seng Chun is a visual treat, no doubt. Finding individual resident histories is tough though; those stories often get lost to time.

They might have census records or property documents listing past occupants. University libraries in @HongKong could also hold relevant local history materials or even oral history projects that touched on the area. It's a bit of a deep dive, but you could uncover some amazing things! Good luck with your search.
