** 2012, 黃翠芳 [Grace Huang] (lyrics and music), “阿奶好作 [Easy To Be A Lady]”, in 牽等你介手 [Hold Your Hands]‎, performed by 黃翠芳 [Grace Huang]:
       rhiuˋ deuˋ ngin hauˇ shidˋ nanˋ zoˇ, kongˇ diˇ vug haˋ, han denˊ rha ngiong loi hiug [Taiwanese Hakka Romanization System]
       Some people love eating and are lazy. They stay at home and wait for their parents to provide for them.

[Jyutping]
       Just like with investing in Japanese properties, once I realized that rent collection is completely reliant on that agency in Hong Kong, I became very anxious. Maybe after making a fortune, they will love ease and be lazy, maybe they will just close down the business, or maybe they will just run off. What can I do?
