A nostalgic and sentimental journey down memory lane of the Hong Kong golden age era. Picturesque scenery and heartwarming music. An impressive labor of art and excellently documented.
Watching these photos makes me feel like peeling the onions, ended up full of tears in my eyes, I walked once from Wong Tai Sin to Shatin during the excursion of Primary School in the late 50’s. and I lived in Shatin from 1982-95, then moved to overseas . Thanks so much for your greatest efforts. Cheers, R.K.
I lived in Hung Hum , Kowloon during the 60’s . Went from Kowloon City area over the Lion Rock Mount twice on to ShaTin and ride the train back to Tsim Sha Tsai . During those days of plenty of Chinese ( mainland ) refugees rushing into HK , my mother brought breads over certain areas to feed a few of them . Later found two sons of our friend used live near our Ming Garden in GuangZhou were among those refugees , my mom didn’t find them instead being informed by the HK police because these two brothers got our name and address and so we for sure accepted them . And later we found they swam into HK instead walk across the hilly areas of the border . It was later that too many of the refugees came on and so the HK government had to send them back after given them a meal . And they came again . So sad for them risking their lives crossing the border because they would starve to death if they stay put at where they came from . Those refugees were talking about in the millions . Many of them mentioned that they were so glad to see the British flag ( Union Jack ) when they came close to the border . Every HK local news papers and Radios got plenty of such news and later the United Nations Refugees system stepped in . 🙏. Those were part of the 60’s and many of the younger generations probably know nothing about it anymore . 🙏🕊️
@@cordeliaho164 Hi Cordi, it's great to hear from you. I've been a little busy lately. Now, things are on track, and I am preparing for the EU tour. As a matter of fact, it's a shock to have your message after all this years. The teenage memories are still fresh in my mind. The schools, teachers, mates, and many others......!Oh, yes Cordi, i hate to say that. However, It is an ugly world! Before we chat about our crazy teenager's doings. Can you give me a couple of facts that you are one of the gals I met on the road? Sorry but it's necessary. Look to talk to you in email, sincerely
Absolutely brilliant video thank you. I grew up in Fo Tan and Ha Wo Che but never appreciated the rich history of the area and the huge changes seen in the last 130years.
Thanks RK, my parents got married in 73 and they moved to live in Shatin, and a year later i was born. Since then, i have been living in Shatin/ Taiwai till now. Never a moment i not love this place i call home. Thank you so much for all these photos. Meant a whole lot to me.
This video of the pass is very meaningful and touching and nice unfortunately the movie change too fast where no time to watch the picture carefully and need not to say, trying to read the subtitles.
Thank you for sharing. What a trip down the memory lane! For most of us who really appreciate this video must be in their 60s or 70s and a lot are probably not resident in Hong Kong.
JL : Thank you for watching. Here are the statistics: 37% of the viewers are over 65 and 54% are from 35 to 64 years old. 71% views come from Hong Kong
@@RK-hg7ye Thank you for the response with the statistics. I have to admit that I am rather surprised to learn that more than half of the viewers are under 64 and some are as young as 35! I just thought that most of those who would be interested were those over 60s "old cake"! 😄
Thanks for your Hard Working on those Photos Managing and Slide Show Videos Editing. You are Great ! i am 67 living in Fanling since i was 3. My Middle School was in Mongkok. So i always using Train to pass Shatin on every week days during i was studing.

Wow, what a heavy storage of memories there was! Life is ephemeral, so is the evolving appearance of a place like Shatin. I fancy what it would be like if Hong Kong had only 3 million inhabitants now. Many might think it can hardly be able to get so materially developed as it is today. But, in terms of quality of life, one might think differently perhaps. Indubitably, there would be good and bad things mixed together making it hard for anyone to mete out a fair judgement. However, a stark impression this collection of images gives me is that the nature of its growth originates as a respite for people to survive after fleeing from war and political tyranny. And this makes me difficult not to stare at the irony of history that political aggressiveness could smash a safe haven so blatantly at one stroke recently. No sober democratic leader would dare do it today, unless he is out of his mind. And out of his mind he definitely is.
I tried not to be political and to state the fact only. The fact is that the city of Shatin look totally unrecognizable today. Population-wise, Shatin has grown from a rural township of about 15,000 people in the early 60s to roughly 700,000 today. Some would call it a success story.
@@RK-hg7ye Thanks for your feedback. You have really done a great job in compiling such a comprehensive retrospection of Shatin's early years. Few can deny that the building of satellite towns in the 70s was one of many credits of the British colonial legacy to Hong Kong. My whining is only an outcry for the imminent threat of a hiatus of its development because of a sudden political about-turn that severely affects the city at present. I personally am not interested in politics.
@@Pingau spent a year and countless hrs working on one but gave up due to the complexity of the subject matter.. Thank you for asking though Will think it over again. Do you live in Hong Kong or overseas?
Thank R K. We were poor. But we were happy. Many bare have enough food to live. They still felt good because across the bother China was even poorer. For now, across the border, China is much more richer than Hong Kong. Maybe, that is the reason that HK people had put up a fight against the mainland China in 2019.
You should not keep the white text it’s sometimes difficult to read but you should make the text bolder for easier reading. Thanks for making this interesting documentary.
Thank you for your advice. I had thought about it as well. I guess at the time of putting the video together, my main focus was to accentuate the images. As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Thank you again.
Ben: Sorry, I don't remember as I literally browsed through a couple of hundreds of websites and thousand of images over a long period of time. What I can tell you is that I had been to his mansion when I was very young.
請問多位網友們，可有曾經有友人於何柬樓@聖安德烈英文書院～～有寄宿、走讀；有小學、亦有中學。68年首度入駐公開招生！Form 2 Form 1 .有很多新界少年男女就讀㗎，所以有好多大埔大圍沙田的同學、亦有許多市區的⋯⋯我68年入、69年返出市區⋯⋯請問若有網友們知悉有認識的人是這段時間曾經在聖安德烈英文書院讀書的⋯⋯可以大家聊天呀！
我在1957-1969年間住在沙田大涌橋附近，這個視頻給我帶回不少回憶。
1962是最大影響香港的年份，沙田是極重要的地點，年頭時𠕇幾百萬大陸難民擁入香港，我家傭人的姪仔是其中之一，但在新界途中被黑邦捉到，之後通知那傭人，用$1000港幣買他回來。當時英政府立例如果難民能出到九龍就會給居留權，所以沙田是最後一線，如被英軍捉到就只有一餐飯吃然後送回大陸。
同年年尾溫黛台風襲港，沙田水位升了20呎，很多鄉村木屋都被吹倒及浸掉，全港死亡人數有183人，其中127死在沙田，風後我們要暫時搬到九龍兩個月才可搬回沙田，離開沙田時所行經之路到處見到人與動物的死屍，慘不忍睹。

在視頻25:12處，圖中標記“沙田畫舫/馬鞍山”處，那裡不是馬鞍山，是近石門的一處已關閉了的石礦採石場。現在那處近路旁有一個垃圾轉運站的東西。山坡則重新種植回很多的樹木，睇落已回復得唔錯囉。

在視頻中21:52處，圖中若其他標記是正確的，例如聯泰紗廠、上/下禾輋、沙田畫舫、城門河、沙田海等，那麼標記的大埔道是錯的，這應該是獅子山隧道公路，新開的道路連接獅子山隧道。若那是新開的公路，那麼大圍不是在圖中那處。
