The Hongkong: people obsessed with the old flavor (Photos)

When a problem is quite curious:HongkongReally have the underworld? If there are, what they is it right? Wu Yi strength, beauty with? After growing up, more interested in question is to: Hongkong iPad how much cheaper than the mainland? Hongkong where the baozi stuffed with BBQ pork is the most authentic?

Hongkong on the way of growing the imprint is material and secular. It is a public building of Hongkong. These years, continued at Hongkong port, and from between the two places, only to see the Victoria Harbour on the glorious light, but not good at hiding in the light of the Hongkong.

The visit to Hongkong, and then come back empty talk, the nostalgia, marketplace, folk and other keywords to the table, I would like to mention is in the presence of a screen, small people inside and outside the mouth of the old Hongkong.

����Yau Ma TeiVS humble life: the secular life

Nostalgia to the National People's Congress, but many people only see young type arena fights from Hongkong film, heard Wong Kar Wai's demoralizing tune, the old Hongkong life most is have a superficial knowledge of.

 Let the people daily life began in monuments and historical buildings in Hongkong, this is the activation give us the biggest revelation.Let the people daily life began in monuments and historical buildings in Hongkong, this is the activation give us the biggest revelation.

The so-called old Hongkong spirit, the screen can display only one side. Revisit one's old site, the circular thinking, Yau Ma tei,Sheung Wan,CentralThe traditional community features unique common for us to reveal is a never ending of the old Hongkong: the secular life and humble life interaction, grassroots Hongkong and upper-class Hongkong intersect each other.

Film than life gorgeous, but life is more real than the movie. Screen, Yau Ma Tei theatre, a title of "king of Hongkong, and covered" conveys is a appear trite and insignificant, but the unique Hongkong style of life.

����Idealism

����Golden age remodeling grandfather

A drinker should how to write a confession to you, I say is my grandfather.

He is a Hongkong fan, but he hasn't been to Hongkong. Some of his partners go, swim past, then most of them developed, ancestral hometowns, built temples, smoking is no longer cheap cigarettes, drink is no longer cheap wine. In his hometown of generations have a "Hongkong", the local thugs, some of the introduced near the matron, though some do not big boss, but also can often back to back some old clothes, let the family members do not worry about clothes.

Unfortunately, this gave the women's feet man the landlord family, didn't wait and partners to swim to go to Hongkong, he died of alcoholism.

For this matter, the family women think that is life. They then often sigh hypothesis: if he is "Hongkong", at least not rich and offspring with light. Women sigh is understandable, even assuming, people are accustomed to good thinking, as if to swim "Hongkong", the result can be bright, ancestors, behind the hard and sad but not more.

If the grandfather was "Hongkong", the result is not to say, inevitably and Rong back to hometown fellow people: he should not start life in Sheung Wan central, it is the old Hongkong rich family gathering place. He should start from the dock cooly worker, for example in Yau Ma Tei when a porter or fruit bar delivery workers, in addition to homesickness pastime, is in the typhoon shelter life people on the water, to Yau Ma Tei theatre to watch a movie, my grandfather's age should be able to catch up with the "Iljimae" or too link during the period of the Hong Kong Film (at that time is not much salty piece look).

After several years of cooly struggle, he finally in Yau Ma Tei becoming a member of the grass-roots community, recognized by the local old people in Hongkong. Maybe he can rely on in the home can act as a barefoot doctor training and experience, in theShanghaiStreet opened a small shop of traditional Chinese medicine, a prescription for the neighborhood in a middle-aged doctor, if able to endure loneliness, can withstand the test of time, maybe a meeting in Hongkong in recent years the historical buildings in history, was awarded the title of activation.

He is also possible with youth martial arts skills, known as the civilian nightclub Temple Street before the acrobatic, playing his sword swallowing, was later a film crew phase, from the double, play a bit role to start, because lucky to finally become a generation of martial arts star.

The grandfather's "Hongkong", there are third ways: no prostitution is not gambling, not drugs, honest honest personality makes him much mojo, halfway into elegant, is first recruit was carrying, then turning around toWan ChaiYau Ma Tei to a certain industry magnate, such as the Hongkong T V B play the same, become a business miracle. Come very naturally, growth trajectory can be further scrutiny of his offspring, such as his grandson, was born in Hongkong, studying inBritainWork in the mainland, a strange combination of circumstances, may also on "if you are the one" stage.

Hometown ties with Hongkong, life is accidental and inevitable, is enough to make my life on his grandfather's. And the old Hongkong, haven dock, theater Temptress Moon, perspiration came down like raindrops...... Another golden age about grandfather I in Yau Ma Tei fruit bar market can imagine.

If the grandfather wasn't drinking himself to death, if the grandfather swim "Hongkong" success......
