香港仔最後一代水上人 The Last Boat People in Aberdeen
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2012
- This is a story about Hong Kong's Aberdeen Harbor - once famous for its floating villages and boat dwellers - told through two generations of 'boat people'. Today, flashy yachts have edged out the old boat families, and a ban on trawler fishing later this year will only accelerate the drift to dry land. Together, Mr. Leung Siu-yung, a fisherman, and his son tell of their hardship, struggles, and hopes for the future.

I like the way the man expresses himself on the video. Things do change. Here in USA too. I wosh it was the same here in state of Oregon where we sisters grew uo. Slam Oregon. The Best to this fisherman. Than you. I like seeing the Chinese in HK. I worked years ago for 2 Chinese in their Restaurants in Cal. Also one family had me in their home in San Fransico, Caluf. Presidents Birthday February 1989. Stayed 2 days. Had a big dinner in a Resta. In SF. Then next day went to Madera Calif back to work.
I love watching these videos of the boat people in Hong Kong. I saw this one before. The family here does not seem as close as the boy in the 1977 and 1980 Video on the family fishing boat. The one in 77 showed the grandpa and grandma and the one in 1980 should alot of family. This man seems so lonely. Was is his wife not there?
Without these boat people. It take away the flavour of Hong Kong.
This is great! I grew up in Aberdeen and have met a lot of boat people while growing up. I respect their hardwork. Great job and thanks for sharing.
I was in Aberdeen few times during my trips to Hong Kong but i couldn't believe these fishermen are such tough people... only few days a year at home with his family! Nice place that you wanna come back to, i loved to take a boat from there to Lamma island and back as well.
For some reason that brought tears to my eyes, I remember Hong Kong and her people from having lived there as a child with such fondness, truly golden moments abide with me to this day.
very touching and great cinematography. have you plans to produce more of these documentaries? i agree that hk is at risk of losing much of its history and cultural heritage.
Glad you liked it KamLC! I made the short for South China Morning Post as part of a series called "Neighbourhood Sounds". (It's published every Friday in "City" if you read the print) I recently made two more episodes on HK neighbourhoods, which I will upload to this channel shortly. So if you're interested, you can subscribe to my channel, or follow SCMP's facebook page :)
I wonder what the boy is doing now. Or if his father still around. He seems nice as a father. And the son. Thanks for the video
What an amazing channel!
I hace said it before. I know as people get older. They miss their kids. Fathers and mothers acc should talk to thier kids.They The kids should have. respect enough to talk to them. Cheers. I wonder how they are all doing now? What year was this filmef) Thank you
This is rather sad in that the father and his son are not close. Also, the father's absence had made his son rather effeminate.
Oh, young man... Talk to your father. As much as you can! About anything, doesn’t really matter! Because you are gonna regretfully miss it once your Dad forever sails away...😪
Hedy Bok. Do you ever get a chance to record these people or others again
Sad story. Great video.
I liked this story. Watched it many times. What year was this filmed. The boys father might be still alive. Maybe mither too. And young nan about 19 or 20. Thanks for video
BRAVO~
I really believe boys and girls should be close to their parents. At least call every 2 or 3 months . Or once a month. I dont think all Chinese kids are that way. The mans son seems rightly educated. He does not speak of his mother. Or siblings I guess. I wonder if his father is still around and maybe he talks to his son. More. I worked for a Chinese man and his wife 8n Madera Cal US in Sept 1988 till July 89. He had me to their house for a week end in San Francisco, Cal in Feb 1989. His folks lived there and 4 kids. I was 44 then. Then another Chinese man bought the restaurant. I worked for him 11 years.
Was this taken in ,2012? It is sad in away he could only come home ,3 ,,- 4 times a yr for a few days . And his older son maybe 19, said we don't have to verbally talk to love each other. I wish I cohld gave met this man and maybe his wife. I wonder how his sons are today, and if he is Alive. thanks
Thanks for video. I have watched before. What year is this filmed? Is thos ma and his wife son still living in HK?.😀🍇🌽🎇❤🙏
