  • This is the earliest Hong Kong film found in archive. Just right after Addison invented the moving films and sent a crew to Fast East for the western countries to see the other side of the world. This is also the first time that I can related my great grandfather daily life in Ching Dynasty.

    Thank You very very much to show me this life time experience. I really love it and this is priceless.

  • Thank you for posting this, this is priceless.

  • It is priceless. Thank you so so much!

  • It should be "edison shorts", the earliest Hong Kong moving images found, filmed by the US Edison company.

  • @kenkencode Except the images are a hell of a lot cleaner and colorful.

  • wow simply amazing, nobody in that footage had a clue what kind change and horrors that would come to the world in the coming century.

    lucky that hong kong has always been a pretty safe place even in the worst of times, hope that trend continues for the next century too.

  • thank you very much for sharing with us.

  • wow weird seeing men still having queues

  • @chrisz78

    You sound like a nasty-nice fellow, huh?

  • @bobchewaing

    Who is "Addison"? Maybe your addled brain tries to think of Thomas Alva EDISON, but even he didn't invent movies - that was Louis Le Prince in the late 1880s. Could you and the other legasthenics here please make an effort to look up basic facts (Google is your friend!) before polluting the comments with their verbal diarrhoea?!?!?!

  • @EmperorChiCheung

    You were born too early to accomplish that. If you bother to read a little about media history you'd easily find out that moving pictures on film weren't invented before the 1890s. "Video" (used by people familiar with the English language for magnetic-tape or digital moving images only, otherwise we talk about "Film"!) came into being only in the 1950s.

  • I've watched this many times and each time is no less breathtaking. Anyone know the name of music? It's so fitting for the video.
