My father was born in 1954 in HK, he told me amazing stories of when he was a kid playing in Kowloon and seeing Bruce Lee walking past him. I am born in 1998 in the Benelux of Europe and every time I visit Hong Kong I try to imagine how it was for my father to grow up there, this video almost brought me to tears, Hong Kong used to be so relaxed and less fast-paced. However, I still love the city and will always visit my roots.

It sounded like a very vibrant place to live in with its food, entertainment industry, billionaires, social gatherings ie mahjong. It’s a shame the politics have changed the mental wellbeing of the citizens. Because of this I no longer want to be associated to Hong Kong. I feel so bad it’s so different and gloomy

If there wasn't starvation at all before Mao's rule in China, how could Mao get millions Chinese to join his army, overthrow KMT Government and take power in 1949? Besides, Mao ruled China 26 years. Only 3 years, from 1960 to 1963, there was a starvation, because China had to repay the debts which China borrowed from Soviet for Korean War and industrialization then, or bowed to Nikita and became a satellite country of Soviet. If Trump was the King of America and he decided to repay all US national debts within 3 years but not left the debt to his successors, what would happen to Americans? Mao used to use radical approach to achieve his goal.But you can not deny that the long-term effects of most of his decision are generally positive. For example, in 1960-1963, there were thousands of Chinese mainlanders fled to HK for seeking better life. But decades later, most of these guys and their descendants still live in HK's cage home meanwhile most of their former neighbor villagers who remain in mainland have better life than them nowadays.

I lived there then. It was fantastic. Definitely the best time of my life. I visited HK island very briefly in February 1997 but sad to say the 'spirit' of Hong Kong wasn't there. All the glass skyscrapers and office blocks made it look just the same as any big , modern city in any other country. Didn't have time to explore further so maybe Kowloon was better.

He told me how it was kind of chaotic upon opening, but got onto his flight okay. I believe he also got some card or certificate to say that he was one of the first passengers to board there.

Mainland chinese then were harmless, now they are like wild animals and swarms of locusts destroying and defecating on everything they touch.

Fun fact: The red and white grids on the hill at 0:38 is still here today, but that hill has became a park with swimming pool, and stray dogs are all over the place, I used to take a walk on the hill and was usually greeted by a a few dogs, stray dogs also used to live on Lion Rock as some old dude was feeding them, but a few years later the government step in and the dogs disappeared, leaving the Monke horde alone.

That was the signal for the pilots heading into the airport to turn before they plowed into a mountain! Basically "Hang a sharp left when you are about to hit the grid".

Love this so beautiful 🤩

Hong Kong is a great place, just not the people who rule Hong Kong.

Hong Kong 1841-1997 🇬🇧🇭🇰🇬🇧

I was born in the 90s and visited Hong Kong almost every year since the mid 2000s, went back early 2020 and it was the saddest sight to see, everything closed, protests rampant, people distant out of covid, afraid to get near each other, a falling economy, broken police system, and significant decline in tourism and hospitality. It used to have the most luxury hotels, fun sights to explore, gorgeous scenery, and active social scene.

Hong Kong in the 60s and 70s was only beautiful at its face value. I lived in HK from 1966 to 1979, life was a struggle in my youth and teenage years. The place was so full of crimes and corruption. The opportunities of getting higher education passed secondary school was scarce and highly competitive. I was one of the many who did not make it but I was lucky enough to be able to have further education in North America. I only visit HK once in many years and my visits turned out much more enjoyable than when I was living there because I was going back as a tourist to spend my vacation.

From the 60s till the handover in 1997 - the Golden Age of Hong Kong. Lived there for 9 years, would love to go back to those days...

I prefer the life back then than today's.

The property speculators and tycoons ruined Hong Kong. All the shopping malls in Hong Kong look the same. There is no retail diversity in Hong Kong. Bangkok and Taipei are the best places for shopping in Asia.
