139 Ping Yeung (坪洋) in Ta Kwu Ling (打鼓嶺) is a block of village house built by Chan Shing-pong (陳勝邦) who bought a piece of land to build the block of house before 1913. He employed Chaozhou (潮州) builders from the Chinese mainland to construct the house for his two sons, Wan-sheung (雲裳) and Wan-wai (雲蔚). Mr.Chan operated an oil refinery which was near to the present-day No. 131 of the village. The oil refinery was closed in the 1940s. During the Japanese Occupation, the Chans escaped to a hill near the village and the Japanese troops did not get into the house.
