光影流情，歲月留聲，相隔而家88年，我諗片中的人有九成都去曬投胎，就算細路仔唔死得都一把年紀㗎啦， 最震撼係宋王台原來係咁大坐山， 九龍灣真係一個海灘， 我咁大個人第一次見，以前啲人都幾高大同幾鬼馬， 佢哋應該冇諗到 88年之後， 佢哋在生時嘅足跡， 會喺智能電話睇到， 我諗以前用得八米厘拍影片啲人 ，都非富則貴， 有番咁上下， 呢條片珍貴 ，浪漫， 珍貴， 浪漫。

Thanks for these historical pictures, elegant people! some where in time! Makes me cry! Christopher Reeves, such a good person.

Yes, elegant and happy. On a family outing there is plenty of humour from the young men. And the young ladies are relaxed, happy and well-dressed. I have watched this several times - each time I notice something new.....

[@Bouncybon]

Grateful thanks to Mr Leonard To for sharing this family film with us. It is a precious record of prosperous family life in 1930s Hong Kong. Maybe he was inspired to post it on KZbin after seeing the many films by Mr Michael Rogge - a banker from the Netherlands who worked in HK in the 1960s. His many films are here on KZbin.

[@Bouncybon]

I have watched this gem several times and will watch it again. Here is a Chinese family well-established and prosperous, with joy and confidence in their position. Full of humour and fun, with young women and boys enjoying their time together. I agree with Michelle Currier (lower down) who writes: "Makes me cry". There is so much hopefulness and peace in the film, it makes me feel emotional for the past. And a Hong Kong that has vanished!

[@Peter-uf3jf]

Fantastic, rare to have such a family vedio at that age. Hope to know which family owned that license plate 1484

@Wai Leung Lip 你說的新山, 估計就是現在新山道附近, 土瓜灣體育館位置上, 早就被移平的那位山崗. 這個山崗在第一次鴉片戰爭前, 歌連臣從九龍約在蒲崗村道頂畫的手繪素描中有原始記錄, 在素描中有馬頭的樣子, 比聖山高得多,估計跟摩利臣山差不多高. 但歷史上自從英軍搶了香港島後, 這個山就已經變成採石場地盤, 從十九世紀中葉開始不斷縮少, 類似上世紀安達臣石礦場, 二戰前的樣子是一岩一忽非常醜丑, 根本無人會有興趣上的荒廢石礦場.

[@fcuku7519]

I guess life could be simple and relaxed in those days, but the video might have failed to capture the other side of life in which many poor people had to struggle for their daily necessities in order to survive. But none of them were aware that a few years later all of them, be they rich or poor, would live in great miseries brought by the Japanese.
