OLD Mr Chow and his wife have been selling ducks and chickens in a Mongkok street market for more than 40 years.
Mr Chow arrived from China in 1949 hoping to make money and go home. But he never returned; instead he got married, had five children and settled in Hong Kong.
The couple worked hard and made enough money for all five of their children to go to university. Four went to Canada and one stayed in Hong Kong. His eldest son, Ander Chow Kum-chong, gained a PhD in engineering in Canada and his younger brother, Patrick Chow Kum-shing, also studied there.
Both decided to make Canada their home, until their father became ill. Then after nearly 20 years in Toronto, they returned to Hong Kong with their children to look after him.
Now their story is about to be told to millions of people around the world, as the Hong Kong family chosen to appear in a special international television co-production to celebrate this year's United Nations International Year of the Family.
The Hong Kong segment has been produced by RTHK's Common Sense team which joined up with nine international television companies to co-produce the 10-part documentary series, each one focusing on one family and the upheavals they face in their particular country.
