28th September, 1963

​

Our family’s clothing industry is becoming more flourishing than before. The fabric stock in our home became empty in a blink. Yet, my brother has grown up a lot. In the beginning, he was unwilling to run errands for me. However, as time passed, he became obedient to running errands for our family business.

​

Today, after I finished housework, I went to buy fabric with my brother. After all, the fabric is heavy. It is necessary to have a strong man to share the responsibility with me! During the journey, I discovered that my brother had become manly, and the cruel fire disasters had passed for ten years. Time flies; this is our tenth year living in Mei Ho House……

​

I teased my brother all the way, and the one-kilometre journey ended. In front of me is the place I am familiar with, Ki Lung Street.

1963年9月28日

 

家裡的製衣事業蒸蒸日上，存放在家裡的布匹猶如曇花一現，眨眼間就消失得無影無縱。而我弟就漸漸由一開始的不情願，變到現在心甘情願地為我跑腿。

​

今天，我完成家中的瑣碎事後，便和弟弟一起去買布，畢竟布匹沉甸甸的，還是需要一個壯男為我分擔一下吧！沿途中，發現弟弟的眉宇間不知不覺地多了幾分男子氣概，才發現原來當年那場冷酷無情的聖誕節大火已經過去了十年。時光飛逝，原來這個是我們在美荷樓渡過的第十個年頭了⋯⋯

​

與弟弟一路打打鬧鬧，一公里的路程就這樣結束了。眼前的，又是這個再熟悉不過的地方，基隆街。
