Before 1990s. Borrowing books from the National Library along Stamford Road was a hassle, but I kept going back, all because it was not easy to get hold of the sword-fighting novels by Jin Yong, which were always fully loaned out. But I still remember the captivating plot which kept me engrossed for days ....
