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 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.

Born in Hong Kong, I left Hong Kong in 1973 for college in the United States. This video brings back a lot of memories, especially the markets, the Aberdeen fishing boats and the old Tai Pak seafood boat restaurant. Yes, I miss the Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau ......

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 a Kowloon resident, going to Hong Kong island was a major trip for a little boy in the early 70s

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.

I was 9-year-old in 1973. As a girl from Kowloon, my parents very rarely took us to Hong Kong. When they did, it was a real big deal for the entire family. We all dressed up nicely. My mom would constantly remind us to behave ourselves because people in Hong Kong have a higher standard. I didn't know how true it was but her words have stuck in my head for many decades to come.
