Luck-quacka preface — Uncle Wong, muttering for most of his life

I’m Dominic Wong.

I was born in Kwong Wah Hospital in the 1970s.

As a child, I studied at Hong Kong Szeto Clan’s Association primary school.

My father thought I wasn’t a good student, so he told me to change to an English primary school.

However, my grades got even worse because I really didn’t understand what the teachers were talking about.

I worked as a lifeguard and earned HK$40,000 over the summer holidays after the HKCEE!

In the end, I spent every last penny partying in Lan Kwai Fong, hopping from club to club for four months. My mother kept calling me every night.

Eventually, I got pneumonia.

My dream now is to be a composer.

“tàːi pōu” Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra will soon perform my latest work, Luck-quacka, in the Studio Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre.

I can’t wait to see you all there!
