I bought these recently - they were sold in one batch, and I guess they're what was left over from various albums after the seller had sold all the better photos. Let's see if any of them have a story to tell.
Who called Hong Kong 'home' in these 1880s-1950s photos?

David shows us photos of the wide variety of people who’ve lived in Hong Kong - we’ll see barbers, cobblers, compradores, hawkers, soldiers, sailors, Scottish golfers, and more! The photos were originally taken in Hong Kong between the 1880s and the 1950s, and have been scanned at high resolution so David can zoom in to show us their hidden details. He’ll use these clues to explain the stories ...

    It's interesting to note that, even though the Japanese had surrendered, there were holdouts who resisted. British troops, bolstered by Canadians, fought small battles throughout the city to defeat these Japanese troops. This needs to be acknowledged and not ignored or glossed over. Although most Japanese troops were willing to surrender at this point, there were some who wanted to carry on the fight.

    Suggest if it the photo belongs to e.g. the decade of 1960-1969, then put it as 1960s. For the photo in year 1960, then put it as 1960-01-01. Otherwise if you have a photo of a definite year in 1960, it will show it as in any year between 60 and 69.

    • @Gwulo
      @Gwulo 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Andrew, after the upgrade the user will be able to specify: A - decade, eg 1960s, or B - year, eg 1960, or C - date, eg 3 Mar 1960 Then when we search we can view: 1 - Photos from the 1960s: A, B, & C 2 - Photos from 1960: B & C 3 - Photos from 3 Mar 1960: C Will that solve the problem you described?

    The first "translation" means: You was able to get into this room through the other room you saw before, but now it is a storage and locked. (I can't understand this sentence very well too, because his words are really confusing!) The second "translation" is: It is used only during the war.
