Hong Kong 1962 (8mm Home movie)

[999basille]

britain saved allof these people from starving to death. In 1962 most of mainland chinese were starving thanks to the communist

[da5families]

@999basille Thats quite a generalization.

Hong Kong people prospered under Britain's governance, and Hong Kong would not be prosperous without the work ethic of the Hong Kong people. A mutual relation that develop Hong Kong into the economic international city it is today.

This is very good quality for the 8mm film, and was shot nicely. I would even say "professionally" when I saw how smooth of the pan & tilt shots with the equipment back then. Good Job!!!

I love the music too, I can dance quick step ....

HK in 1960s was in fact a very modern city, with many cars and tall buildings

[bobchewaing]

This is good. Most of the old Hong Kong pictures and clips were concentrated in Hong Kong Island. I think I did see some old Kowloon in this clip. Thank you for sharing.

[scoutdandan]

Thanks for sharing. 1962 I was a little boy.

[valleybeneaththesea]

Looked back those old days, people seems receiving the natural smiles, or happiness simply puts on first.....

[waitsuny]

the movie is great... but i think it's around early 70s rather than early 60s.. especially the truck model, dressing style..and Jodan's seaside bldg in 4.10

[madcheme]

Oh, how very nostalgic! Being born in 1962 this was the Hong Kong I was too young to see, but this video brings it back to the present. It lets me see with my own eyes what my parents saw. Thanks for posting.

[adidasaddict]

Great video, thanks. Its funny you could say a lot has changed since then, but in a lot of ways HK is still the same as the video.
