Poems on the Ferry
Yam Gong & Ah Lam
One day, Mr. Yam Gong came from Peng Chau to visit Chow Yik Lam (Ah Lam) on Cheung Chau. They talked about poems but couldn't get enough of them. So, Ah Lam took the inter-island ferry to accompany Yam Gong back to Peng Chau while they read aloud each other's poems on the ferry.
**This is a moving event, starting in Cheung Chau ending in Peng Chau.**
