Mr. Jan Con-Sang is my paternal great-grandfather.

Learn from Great Aunt No. 6 "Cheng Mei Hing", graduate of Hong Kong U that great grandfather was very "religious" in "spreading the Gospel" to neighborhood kids by ringing a handbell every Sunday and feed them after the gathering or something like that.  I do remember that grandfather, Jan Con-Sang oldest son-Mr. C.P. Cheng, held many round tables Chinese banquet in the "Hall" on the ground floor of the U shaped 3 stories structure  at 5 Duke Street that children were not allow to mingle into all these hundred(s) of adult participants of "kow dai guai" banquet.
