Children of old Hong Kong in 1962

In 1962 there were many refugee children around. Girls hammered powder into firecrackers. Education was a privilege.

Thank u so much Mr.Rogge for your priceless record of the old Hong Kong. In 1964, I was about to enter 1st grade in school. As u have metioned in the other clip that parents would save every penny for to send their children to school to pursue a better future. I remembered my mum had waken up at five in the morning to line in queue for getting registration forms from good schools for me. Through all the hard work, patience and dedication of the old generation did HK succeed to blossom. THANKS!!

Thank you very much, Mr. Michael Rogge. It was my neighbourhood and school. I miss it, because I am thousands miles away. Thanks again to bring back my memory.
