Hong Kong in the sixties/六十年代香港·一

Hong Kong Tram ·  香港電車



























Life was simple in Hong Kong in the sixties. Nobody spend thousands of dollars to eat abalone and shark fin, nobody bought 18K gold diamond Rolex watch, nobody wore European designers label fashion. The road traffic was slowly flow, and no Mercedes-Benz filled up the roads. The real estate market prices were reasonable. High school graduates could work in the banking business district, the University of Hong Kong or overseas university graduates could be management. The youth from lower income families could work as a factory apprentice but they still went to night school after work.

六十年代的香港, 生活簡單, 民風淳樸, 沒有人花幾萬元吃鮑參魚翅, 沒有人戴十八K金鑽石勞力士手錶, 沒有人穿歐洲名牌設計師衣服, 路‪上‬交通暢順, 沒有大量平治車充塞街道, 地產房屋價格合理, 中學畢業生可以在銀行商業區工作, 香港大學或外國大學畢業生回來即可當管理階層, 家境不好的青少年早出來做事, 大多數當工廠學徒, 但放工後晚上仍然上夜校。
