Mr. Rogge. I want you to know that I am so delighted to find your work here. I have been enjoying your HK footage in the last few months. Your interest and sensibility to our culture in your young age sure is outstanding. I could easily be one of the children you documented. We were poor and have little like most around us. We were happy and found joy in simple games and past time like renting comic books. I look back with fond memory of the simpler days.

@maestrovso . I'm glad my clips evoke such memories. I didn't realise at the time that my films would reach such wide audiences!

Great shootings. Kid licking the plate...swarming around the hawker...and comic books. Those were the good old days.

this was so true - kids doing their homework in the street on a fruit crate - totally oblivious to the hustle and bustle around them! little girls carrying their younger siblings on their backs...strong family values and sense of responsibility

Haha my parents weren't born yet in 1960 :). But it's great to see the live of children in those days!
