Wong Wai Chung: ‘Some people living inside the Walled City did not have a Hong Kong identity card, or any money to live on, but the Walled City nourished them. Others earned a living there, maybe through crime, but they also helped other people get by, people that other places in Hong Kong would not take in. If we had turned our backs on the Walled City, there would have been nobody left to help them. After I gave up taking drugs, I still went to the Walled City to pray for drug addicts, and pay them visits’
