Diao's home, school, and church were located in an area between Chatham Road and Nathan Road. His life centered around his school, which was two streets away from his home, and a church one block away, which often distributed cards with reproductions of religious paintings. It was likely that Diao's interest in art was piqued by the church's handouts.
