Lam Tsuen residents are longing for a new wishing tree to save their businesses and bring vitality back to the village.
林寸居民正期待一棵新的許願樹來挽救他們的生意,並將生氣帶回到村裏。

一位叫”呀黃”的豆腐店老闆說:自從政府於2005年禁止人將許願包擲在樹上,她的生意就滑落。
"I used to sell 4,500 bowls of bean curd in the first three days of Chinese New Year, but now I can sell only half that amount, not to mention normal weekdays," Ms Wong said.
呀黃說:「我之前,在農曆年頭三天,可賣出4,500碗豆腐花,但現在只能買出此售量的一半,更不要題平時的日子」
"This injured tree looks so dead, I hope a new tree can come as soon as possible."
「這棵受傷的樹看來很殘,我希望新樹能儘快來到。」
Ms Wong had read about the new tree and said she thought the mainland candidate looked beautiful, but she was hesitant when told it was not healthy.
黃小姐曾看過有關新樹,她說來自大陸的新樹很好看,但她顯得猶豫,當談及樹不健康時。

另外一位叫”呀陳”的居民說,與其運一棵新樹到村裏,政俯應讓他們去挑一棵存在村裏的樹。
