Entertainment: Cricket

Taken from thebeijinger.com

Cricket fighting was a very common form of entertainment in Law Uk Tseun as adults will use it as a form of gambling whilst children used it as a form of competition of who would find the strongest cricket. These cricket would then be placed in a wooden bowl as shown in the picture and a staff would be used to encourage the crickets to fight. People will then place bets on which cricket would be the strongest, sometimes betting with money and sometimes just betting for fun. As well as a use of entertain, children would also use this to earn money for example, my Father used to catch these as a child and sell them to adults for 5HKD which was considered a lot in that time.
