Hong kong. Children growing up in 1978 香港兒童

Education had improved considerably in 1978, before being confined to children of families who could afford the fees. The better living conditions also had a great impact. See also my other 100 vids on old Hong Kong by searching for 'playlist "Hong Kong" "Michael Rogge" '

Mike, I think we should spread this out in order to identify the faces and how they are doing now, to make a comparison and perhaps follow up....may be the local media will pay some attentions to this and arouse their interests to follow up....? :-) thanks for sharing, you are my hero Mike!

@eatsee. Very seldom I get responses from people who appear in my clips. So far two or three have been identified. I have to rely viewers. So far more than a million people from HK have seen my clips, but most have them report that their parents lived at the time the films were made and that they were too young to remember.

Sir do you know these families personally?

[MichaelRogge]

@connie59do . I wish I did. I seldom hear of people portrayed in my clips. I should love to hear how they are doing now! As to my older films of HK in the early fifties, it is sad but most people seen are not alive anymore.
