      I just met a man who doesn't have a single complaint. Sik Kan Chung is 91. It took him 15 minutes to walk across the park to Woodgreen Community Centre from his place to meet me. Ten years ago it took him only 10 minutes. Another 10 years, maybe it will take half an hour, he said, laughing so hard his glasses slid down his nose. [Incomplete]
