Mo Family's home is located halfway up the hill, known for a saying in Hong Kong, "The noble reside on high mountains, and the wealthy by the bays," which implies that living on the hills is reserved for high officials, distinguished individuals, and not just anyone with money can live there. In the 1970s, Chinese residents were not qualified to live in those top positions where only the Governor or government officials could reside, and they were all British.
Thus, the fact that the Mo Family has a residence halfway up the hill sufficiently illustrates their status in Hong Kong; even the He Family, who possess the title of Justice of the Peace, barely managed to reside halfway up the hill, neighboring the Mo Family.
Li Family lives on Sha Xuan Road, another high-end residential area exclusively inhabited by top-tier magnates.
