    Good selection of the Cantonese Song in the second half, Michael. The lyrics "光陰永不回頭" which means "Time never goes back" is a perfect match for this video

      MichaelRogge I think it's been more than 2 years since I last talked to you, Michael. So happy to "see" you!I have no idea of the title of the song since it's not a hot song then. Yet a friend Alex here did tell out the title of the Cantonese song. Superb!The song title is not about Time but the lyrics do contains a sentence saying "Time never goes back"

      Sorry. I have no idea about the name of the Chinese version of Funky Town. I even ddid't know there was a Chinese version then. It's natural that people would rather listen to the original version.

  • @andrewcklam

    Another great clip of Hong Kong!
    However it should be filmed in the year 1981. Evidences came from the scenes in Central (Des Voeux Road Central) with a double decker bus (appeared 02:49, reg number CL1026 which first registered in Hong Kong on 28 January 1981) so it must be filmed after 28 January 1981.
    Later on the same road (03:22) showed the old HSBC Main Building which still with its flag raised, meaning it was still in use. This old HSBC Main Building was closed on July 1981 and demolished later that year, which means that the movie must be filmed sometime between January to July 1981.
    As people on the street were wearing clothes with long sleeves but not with thick jackets, it should be around March and April. The commentary further describes that the weather was a bit humid, which matches the weather of March and April in Hong Kong. Starting from May weather becomes hot in Hong Kong and it's not possible to wear long-sleeves anymore.

      FYI, sources of my evidences:
      1. The double-decker bus: www.1005.idv.hk/info.php?id=452910
      2. HSBC Main Building History (Chinese version describes the day of decommission exactly as July 1981 while English just 1981) : zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E6%BB%99%E8%B1%90%E7%B8%BD%E8%A1%8C%E5%A4%A7%E5%BB%88

      This observation is indeed very accurate and correct. There are also blue and cream buses too which are former London Transport Daimler Fleetline DMS class vehicles which were being sold to Hong Kong CMB from 1980 onwards.

    If people want to recall people and lives in HK in the fifties I recommend this book by Martin Booth who passed away a couple of years back," Gweilo" was published just before his death. He spent about a decade in HK as a child going native and said he could not forget HK.

    The much shorter building immediately to the right of Jardine House (12:19) is World Wide House which was built on the site of the Old Post Office when it was demolished in 1976. The construction of World Wide House was completed in 1980. This excellent little film must have been shot in the early 80's. Many thanks for another highly entertaining piece of Hong Kong history Mr Rogge!

    This is definitely shot in the late seventies, could be around 1977 or 1978 when you can see the tram still carried a trailer which was withdrawn in the 1980s, the second sign to make certain the date was the sun hung kai centre at 6:05 (one of the tallest bldg then) was not fully completed until 1980/1981. This film is rare and valuable since it's hard to find footage of this type taken in the 70s, it's so enjoyable to watch and with a sense of nostalgia, my deepest appreciation to Mr Rogge !

  • @alexlammk

    You can see at about 14:30, The Admiralty Centre with MTR logo is completed. Search the Wikipedia 海富中心 "Admiralty Centre in Chinese word .
    The building completed in 1980.As ckretasianman said,HSBC new HQ started in 1983, I think the video was taken between 1980 and 1983.
    The background is very local to Hong Kong people grown up in 80s.

    Michael,
    My wife and I spent two weeks in Kong Kong in 1977 and your fascinating look back seems to be just about from that time, maybe a year or so earlier. No particular reason, just the Flash Back Effect your film had on us.
    We made a return visit in 2011 and stayed in the very same hotel on Kowloon - The Marco Polo Hong Kong, called simply The Hong Kong Hotel in 1977
    .
    Loved your video

    This film takes me right back to my childhood. I recognised all the places and this is exactly how I remember HK. We left in 1978. I know the song, too and haven't heard it in decades. Don't know if it was chosen deliberately, but it talks about time passes and will never returns; life is but a dream and who would understand your personal problems. Listening to the song and watching the film made me very nostalgic and quite emotional.

    The HK Hilton would have been a perfectly good building still standing in any other city today, but Li Ka$hing knocked it down in 1994 or 1995 to build the Cheung Kong Ctr. Interesting to see all the normal cars, instead of the luxury car showroom has become today. Victoria Harbour was huge before they went reclamation mad.

    Thank you so much for these videos! I just started watching your channel and this particular video I really like because I got to see the Hilton hotel. It was where I stayed on my first trip to HK in the early 90s. Brings back so many memories! It’s now gone but I especially enjoyed seeing it before the huge bank of China tower was built next to it. Looking forward to watching all of your videos.

    Hong Kong needs more people like you who got a great collection of the greatest moments of this dying city. Thanks for your dedication to colonial Hong Kong

    Brings back happy memories. I was 7 years old in 1975 and living in Stanley Fort.
    I can still picture the green and white 'Cathay Pacific' 707's as I watched them begin their approach to Ki-Tak airport.

    Thanks for posting this, I'm gonna move and live in HK in 6 months, that's really interesting to get a picture of what was HK few years ago, my wife always talks about the pre-handover era!

    6:41 Victoria Barracks getting a makeover or is it the start of Pacifica Place? Difficult to make out, but the building I worked in appears to have been demolished.

    The bus in seconds 11 to 16 right at the beginning is a freshly painted ex London Transport DMS Daimler Fleetline of China Motor Bus, none of which arrived in HongKong until early 1980, the 1st import being registered CD2093 which is a 1980 plate so this film is from 1980-82 period when they were being delivered from UK

    Thanks a lot for this. It’s very interesting to look at the Hong Kong before I was born :) I have read in a museum in Stanley that The Murray House used to be located in Central. It’s nice to see it again in Central in your video!! The tram ride was very good too!

    My mom and dad’s HK. They haven’t met yet in the 70s but mom worked in happy valley for ticket holders then an assistant for HK’s DA in Central. Dad just swam from China and started to do jobs here and there and met a nice fellow that became a mentor for him during that time, just like a lot of people there during that time. People were generally a lot more genuine and honest that time.
