I wish you told the riot kids in Hong Kong, even in those days, there were no democracy and we were just fine. It's when the Brits started to lose control and they brought in the concept of "democracy" and started to bring the wrong kind of democracy to Hong Kong, like a Taiwan or India style which crippled Hongkong for years. From our point of view, it might have been the heydays for us all, but as we got older, I realise we were just part of the cheap labour which made Britain "Great". We did gain a lot from that - but they got more out of us too. So when China rightfully took back Hongkong and gave us more freedom than the Brits did for us, we should have been more grateful. Only the people who went thru the history would understand what I mean by that, but the riot kids/uneducated bunch like Joshua Wong or Nathan Law destroyed this generation of kids in addition to the next generation of kids. It'd take another 10-15 years before we could rebuild a new generation of people in Hongkong and once again bring back those hard working attitude to the open. Remember it was the people of Hongkong who made Hongkong great, nothing to do with the invader.
@@magicsmurfy hahaa funny; world friends heard this? HK and new China do not need world friends any more? I do not understand this! I heard that China town old HKers said: HK 1841-1997 Salute to Queen and King Charles
@@magicsmurfy no no no, I think you were told by some bad boys about all these imagination things. Jacky Chan may be happy that you live in this country or so as Jack Chan had said that people living in this type of country must be tightly controlled and taught to officers' satisfaction. I am ok with that.
@@magicsmurfy wow, do not use violent mindset all the time even if it is party special tactics as they are primitive and outdated in today's modern world. be kind to others and Gods and UFO will be kind to you. it is the Great new China premier zhou that stopped the UK govt. from giving the colony democracy. it is released a few years ago from the UK govt. archive. Go and check it out. do not just believe all your officers' words. I agree you MUST follow but no need to believe it all. Be clever boy!
People of Hong Kong are some of the most resilient and hardworking anywhere in the world in that era. Always self-reliant and never complain how hard the lives may be. I was a teenager that failed school countless times by 1973. I had the worst and dangerous job one could imagine but worked hard with self-taught skills, and appreciated by my manager. I was fortunate to be streetwise to not mix up with street gangs, but knew some good gangsters. I seized on an unlikely opportunity to leave for Canada with a tourist visa in 1975. I obtained an Western advanced education as a late starter and became a technical professional, and now living comfortably in USA, but I never forget how I rose from the mud there. So much fond bittersweet vivid memories I have. I would return many times in recent decades, but sadly today it has lost much of its former lusters.
I was 8 and left HK in 1973 for America. Every time I visit HK I feel safe, unlike America where crimes have been surging in the last 2 years. It's too bad Jumbo floating restaurant is no longer there. This is the year Bruce Lee died as well. I didn't know who he was at that time and I remember my brother was holding a movie ticket for "Return of the Dragon." He was quite a sensation back then. The thing I remember the most is the traffic cops. There are way more people now than in 1973. I remember watching Shek Kien and Patrick Tse in black and white movies. I love milk tea and wonton noodles and I can never get enough of. I will surely visit HK a few more times before China takes over completely. I can only hope HK stays vibrant. I love the nightlife. I can always get great food in the middle of the night or go to a department store to shop.
懷舊總是記得好的一面，但在我70年代記憶中，一個成績很好的女同學因家庭貧困而不能完全小學，認識太多的女同學亦因貧困無法升中學，而當了工廠女工；在我居住的屋邨黒社會橫行，少女回家要父親在樓下等，木屋環境是人鼠共存，警察收錢是光明正大的！在石油危機中，失業率高企，無牌小販滿街！每日工作至少十幾個鐘頭謹能糊口！懷舊只是懷緬失去的青春歲月，過度吹捧就失實了！
對！看街景和當時的生活片段，其實都不是真實的，我甚至看到有人說日治時的香港比現在更美好，單單從一張街上途人很少的舊照中做定論。
以上是影片，是一種紀錄不是什麼懷舊也不是吹噓過去。

當時英國被西方妒忌恨，在國際輿論壓力下成立廉政公署。
西方妒恨英國在殖民地香港獨吞全中國出入口的貿易代理，就用貪污，環保，社會福利來攪英國。
@@yiuleung1796 澳門都係背靠中國殖民地，都有貪污，又唔見宗主國葡萄牙俾西方國家妒忌？
片中都有很多辛酸，懷緬當年，可能最重要是我們的小時候，年少時，青年時，的無知，探索，興奮，健康，活力...這些都是我們今天已失去的。
人老了！総是懐念以往在香港開心日子，看了後感慨万千！一時感触下境流下涙来！
人年輕時望時間快些向前走，人老了，時間可否能停留多一會兒！多看這世界，感慨勤萬千！
@@user-lc7xu6hp6v離開香港30多年，睇住香港変了又変，今非昔比難過呀！
70年代是大家可以温飽的時代, 人人努力工作, 幸運的可以在社會的階梯往上爬, 不幸也可以维持生計, 比對當時大陸的狀況香港是天堂, 其實社會的弊病不少, 所以亦不必用太過羅曼蒂克的想像去觀察當時的社會。
我係90後, 但睇完個心會覺得有一種好特別既感覺, 好親切 好溫暖 好懷念
这个年代很多大陆人偷渡过去，因为中共搞计划经济违背市场规律，导致大陆收入非常低，又饥不裹腹
本人在廣州出生長大，1966年高中畢業後經歷了文革與上山下鄉，在雷州半島種香茅＂戰天鬥地＂，1974年＂非法探親＂去了香港。經熟人介紹，在大埔一間工廠寫字樓做會計，包食包住外有四百多元薪水，無憂無慮。同事相處很好，週日踩單車遊深界，晚上到潮州飯店吃飯＂打冷＂，這是我一生中最快樂的時光。1976年移民美國後一直到1991年再回香港。看到這個短片，勾起很多回憶。現在的香港已經不是那顆閃爍發光的＂東方之珠＂了，聴著羅大佑的＂東方之珠＂，心裡充滿了感嘆。希望在有生之年能看到這顆＂東方之珠＂再次閃耀生輝！
萬物循環不息的周而復始！永不停止的運轉和變化，是黎明前的黑夜！
沒机会了！
我懷念懷念往年。。。😢⋯⋯
那時候人人奮斗向上，知道會有回報，社會各方面都進步中，跟現在產生強烈對比
看見當年的前輩們不論是什麼行業，都是多麼辛勤拼搏地工作，他們才是令香港繁榮起來的動力根源。（人）才是一個地方的靈魂。
無錯！辛勤拼搏地工作，多謝他們！
@@daygood2781 I can't agree more! although being one of them !
前輩們的默默耕耘很值得尊敬，有他們才有今天。

港英年代實行積極而不干预經濟政策，所以亦出現好多職場上不公平现象，但還好的是，肯做唔休两餐，當年師傅级工人，的士司機，死慳死抵都可以供得起一層三，四百呎嘅唐樓，
雖然生活艱苦，但人情味也很濃，樂於助人的人也很多。

好怀念以前嘅日子😔
73年我剛剛20歲， 當時生活 唔算富裕 ，但好開心， 而家我唔使憂柴憂米， 但我過得唔開心， 睇到當年影片令我勾起好多回憶， 還有失去聯絡好友， 燕霞，鄺愛蓮....你們好嗎？
近年，翻天覆地改變，全世界也在速變，是變得更劣，和平安逸的人類又再互相撕殺爭皇。
看到如此美好歲月，感慨不已！
1973 年我是初中學生的當然預上了。我雖然是在油蔴地長大，我有一姑婆住在石水渠街的藍屋（當年是灰色的），片段初期有介紹湾仔道街市的片段，是我的父母和我去探姑婆必經之路，當年丈公也請我全家去龍門酒樓飲茶。

昔日的美好！🎉🎉🎉
好花不常開，好境不常在，風水話人運十年地運廿年，七十年代世界經濟起飛，百花齊放，香港受惠於外圍經濟，生活水平不斷提高，由七十年代板間房至九十年代樓價過百萬，由工廠妹至國際金融中心，2022，回歸廿多年，開始踏入九運，可惜物是人非，人才流失，上一代父母走難落香港建設起一顆璀璨明珠，今日新一代又遠走他方，守著這顆朦塵之珠的就只有惜日的黯然神傷😔
so sad
都因為同一個原因

無獨有偶，同樣是 1970年代 到 1990 年代
，香港經歷 城寨英雄，五億探長 到 獅子山下 的變遷， 台灣經歷 白色恐怖 到 開明專制，勵精圖治，而俱產生一段 相對 內政清明，民風純樸，經濟起飛，社會充滿希望，的時期 ， 令經歷過 1970-1990年代 的人懷念
@Wai Ho 1945-1997年，從來只有大陸人爭住來香港，沒有香港人想搬返大陸，證明英國管治下既香港，衰極，都好過大陸。
仲有，英國曾經嘗試下放權力，俾香港實行有限度民主，只係中共唔俾。早於1946年，港督楊慕琦，已經提出立法會改革，一半議席由華人擔任，2/3議席民選產生，史稱“楊慕琦計劃”，呈交倫敦政府，都批左，只係1949年大陸政權更替，共產黨上台，繼任港督葛量洪怕進行大規模政治改革，會觸動共產黨神經，先沒有執行。
1957-1962年，港督柏立基送華人公務員去英國進修，都係想培訓華人政府高層，只係周恩來係1958 & 1960年，兩次恐嚇英國，如果在香港推行民主，中國將武力收回香港
73年香港係多事之秋，3月開始波瀾壯闊嘅大股災，之後又爆第一次石油危機，當年都好多人跳樓，但都係dup左兩年左右到76年又再龍精虎猛，始終果時香港人力同土地成本低，有大把工廠實業吸納勞動力，好容易喺經濟危機企返穩，唔似而家一味靠金融同服務業，用唔到咁多人而且對經濟衰退抵抗力弱
