Even at his age, you can see the motivation and energy in his eyes despite his tiny frame and living conditions. He is nowhere close to throwing in the towel. He is a fighter and an example to all 65-year-olds.
Really puts things in perspective, my heart goes out to these people who just got a lousy roll of the dice in life compared to a lot of us living comfortably watching this from our cozy homes. That being said, this video makes me feel incredibly grateful for what i have right now.
I felt so sad watching how much they suffered living in such a punishing small space. heck, even prisoners get to stay in a much better place! I really feel for them.... sigh...
I always think my ~900sqft rental house is too small for 4 people. But now I know that it is a million time better than what these people are going through.. Hope their issues gets solved soon.
I've been to HK twice and was always curious of the cage homes. The hotels I stayed in Mirador mansion is smaller than my apartment, it's crazy expensive too. The old man reminded me of my uncle who until now works hard and does not depend on anyone but himself. 💕
the 2nd lady in the video should have moved back to hainan. the kid maybe a hong kong citizen, but moving back to hainan mainland is easier to live in and much better conditions.
I'm wondering if the husband is preventing that as he wouldn't be able to see his child. Maybe he want her close or maybe he's doing it to screw over the ex wife. We don't know and we only see her opinion.
@@acajudi100 I'm pretty sure they know they can catch fire. What they are saying is that a small place like that with that many people in those small areas would be an instant, drastic loss of life.
And now I see why so many stay in the rural areas, barely scraping by, living on potatos and rice, but having a whole house and space. Gosh I wish I could help all of these people!💔😭
How I see them makes me feel sad :( i'm still very blessed and happy that i was born in my country . Hope it will change for the people in there country.
I'm really grateful for my parents moving to America and working hard. My childhood I remember going through different rented houses. Both my parents work now with stable jobs, but I need to finish school and find work I'm 19 and I still live with them. I have multiple diseases I have to keep on top of. I'm happy and appreciative that my parents have money to afford insurance.
Such a sad thing to watch. I watched some videos about this situation in Hong Kong and I always felt terrible. Never felt like visiting it because of this.
How can they let this happen? There's no humanity left in Hong Kong where literally they squealed everything out of human. Let people being living in a box.

This is the plight of our planet. In every country there are the very rich, the very poor and the folks in the middle who are working hard to support themselves and their famiies so they can hold on to what they've got. The bug invested cages and bed spaces are not even fit for a dog..just very sad and a darn shame.
And now I understand how all those people died in that fire and the government forced all those people to move ....but they didnt provide them with a place to go within their means
Hong Kong needs to sort out their housing issue. According to the economist and housing experts in another video it’s not even a land issue. Ridiculous. And this is not the first (and horrifying) look at people living in what amounts to a dirty/unsafe coffin & sharing facilities with too many people.
I'm from America San Antonio Tx. They should make the bridge into a apartment and add floors to it solve some problems. I don't know why but I've allways been fascinated with Hong Kong one day I will visit.
Watching this video I feel the landlord is a typical irresponsible lessor providing unhygienic and unsafe living environment to those tenants. The toilet is dirty if virus outbreak occur hell break loose.
And the winner for the most pointless, aimless, empty, hollow, blank, purposeless, valueless, worthless, trifling, insignificant, inconsequential comment goes to... twigs36
what happened to them in tiny shares room during corona virus pandemic? it is very risky. many Myanmer people got infected with the virus because they lived in a congested room like that.
The storage box which comes with my apartment is bigger than the space these people have and to be honest, it is much nicer... This is just appaling....
I really sympathise with the people in hk. I been watching many similar vids n I understand this is due to shortage of land space in their country. At the same time I’m angry at those who take advantage of their situation .
Actually, contrary to popular belief, Hong Kong does not have a space problem. While Hong Kong is definitely not big by any means, much of the land in Hong Kong is kept undeveloped because the government wants the property prices to stay high, in an effort to make money.
Endelig Gnist Exactly!!! There’s an awful LOT of space actually, and don’t forget that they can always build over the sea too, expand the coast in areas, but of course what has been done lately is NEVER for the poor/working class .. 😕😪
Bruno Barbosa this is very sad. Thot the government should be concern looking at her people’s living conditions. Especially those living in cages. Nobody deserves that.
It is a plot of Mainland China government ; they want to destroy Hong Kong within 20 years so some of their own cities will take over the international status of Hong Kong!
I believe it! It's a good answer and explains a lot. Mainland China absolutely HATES that they have little to no control over HK and especially its people. Control and domination is the main tenet of China's government.
Why do so many with so little live in Hongkong Hongkong? Are they trying to make money to move to a smaller village? Do the smaller rural communities check your immigration status more than the 2 million plus towns? Why do people stay in a city with such a high rent / high home-price problem?
After watching this , Yip we need to be Grateful , I just don't see myself living in those kinds of places and calling them Home . On top of this I am Claustrophobic I personally could never handle it . But 1 get and does what a Person also can Afford now days
That is terrible the elderly and you get people and children have to live like that. Like the 65 yr old man still works but can't afford the rent too much. The greedy Landlords. Why can't the government build more housing or Something? thanks
This is just said to watch, 2020 this could happen to anyone, & we just push it to the side out of sight out of mind ,these people are as tuff as nails , respect hope there government step up & does more too assist thiere needs.
I have more than enough space to do many things in my house. Seeing how these people live in cages, truly makes me thank God for His blessings and favours on me and my mum. God, please help these people. They are in need of proper housing, a basic need of humans. Amen.
That 65 year old man is healthier than 99% of 65 year old Americans. Holy cow he is fit and doesn't even look 65, looks younger. Just goes that if you exercise and don't turn into a pile of glob mentally and physically, you can be healthy too (well unless you unfortunately get sick which you can even if you stay active). None of these people should be living like this. I wish I had more power or something to help money something so no one has to live like that... this world...
Red lining helps me understand what it feels to be denied, and forgotten. Those are people who've worked hard all their lives, and this is how the CCP respects their common citizens. Yes, I understand being of color from a certain side of town.... It's dispicable. It's ungodly.
The Hong Kong government has plenty of cash surplus but fuck all heart. Zero conviction in looking after the quality of life of its citizens; only there to serve big business property developer and nothing else. Total disgrace. The people expect and deserve better.
This is a disgrace, people caged like animals. Greedy people allowed to exploit the poor. The government needed to step in when these cage houses first came about, their pets have bigger home than this.
I feel bad for these people because it is not that difficult to improve their living conditions. If I was married to any of those woman our family would be in a 3 bedroom condo before week's end because I still gots connections in HK.
This is so not right. What to do. Something need to be done. What is it people? What happen to charity in this country. Where taxation goes to? Something is js not right.
1:30 if he is on SS why not move to a smaller community without such high rent ? Is it because the other charity is easier to access in Hongkong City ?
Rich 🆚 poor, watching this people makes me feel embarrassed and ashamed of the humanity 😔 Time to time, we should remember that leaving this materialistic life, we will take it with us the ABSOLUTE NOTHING, rich or poor...

This is a wake up call for those of us who complain that our house is too small. I should be grateful for what I have. Perspective is everything.
What's does Communism Nations got to do with the living conditions of Hong Kong which is the most Capitalistic City of the world?
susique333 I agree and I help non beggars help themselves.
lol ikr
susique333 exactly
But at the same time you cannot be too grateful of what you have if you want something better.
Still these people are smiling incredible.!! Salute
huge respect to that 65 year old man. he working it for money even though he should be retired by now. good luck to him
❤
He deserves all the respect. He tries his best to work even he is discriminated at times due to his age.
Even at his age, you can see the motivation and energy in his eyes despite his tiny frame and living conditions. He is nowhere close to throwing in the towel. He is a fighter and an example to all 65-year-olds.
You respect someone working in money
Then what will you disrespect

Man! This is crazy!
Hao lian
I'm moving in to a 175 sqft apartment hahah 😂 but, I don't think I'll mind it though. My first like it. First time living alone
Me too will never complaint hereafter.
do they make apartments this small? smallest in ca i seen was 480square feet
Love the old man I hope to be like him at that age God Bless everyone living like this and one day live life in better living conditions

Hardly 'old' at 65. I prefer seasoned or elderly.

It's been 4 years. I hope he got his public housing.
That 65 year old man still has his hair his teeth and his muscles...hes doing something right
I'm surprised he's 65
@AVLRECORDS you lying 🤥 😂 I've seen people his age in much worse shape.
What muscles? There was no meat on him
And now I see why so many stay in the rural areas, barely scraping by, living on potatos and rice, but having a whole house and space. Gosh I wish I could help all of these people!💔😭
I don’t know why I watch this. It makes me sad.
Be grateful; and help those in need. One day, it just might be you.
Even in rough times they share..😢
This video is 4 years ago. It's now 2021. I can't imagine how much has improve on the living condition. I have not much but grateful where I am 🇳🇿

Well I kinda know how it feels. Coming from a poor family of 4 that lived in one bedroom and kitchen in the backyard. Yikes

For letting this situation continues.
a wet market beneath their living space omg thats awful😔
what a pity they paid a lot of money for such a small space..life is just a misery for some people i hope their condition improves as time goes by

Such a sad & horrible living conditions for the elderly. This should be illegal!
Meuy Fong it is illegal theres a minimum amount of square feet required to put an apartment up for rent
been 5 years i hope that man is doing good in life :(
3-5 years to get a public house if you get married and have children, if you a single, it is just a joke
The cat that you can swing (or not) is the "cat `o nine tails" which is a whiplash which was used for punishment in the past.
