Actually, the house fka Fairy Land still exists.  Attaching some pictures I took a couple of years back.  House is most definitely still standing.  

Fairy Land, 2017, by Uncle Yabai

This is where my parents lived before the war. when the Japanese invaded, my father was recruited into the Middlesex Regiment and almost immediately captured by the Japanese. He played a major role during the sinking of the Lisbon Maru, now very well documented in a film made by a Chinese team on the subject.  My mother, not knowing what had happened to my father left the house to search for him. She did not know that she would not return. She was interned in the Stanley Camp.  After the Japanese surrender and the liberation of Hong Kong, the first thing my mother did was to walk from Stanley to her house.  The thought of not knowing what had happened to her dogs haunted her for years.  My parents were finally reunited in England and returned to Hong Kong where my mother opened up her ballet school at the Helena May.
