[@metaldog88]

I lived in Hong Kong from 1970 until 1997. As a 10 year old, the Kowloon Walled City was the only place I could go (apart from crossing the Sham Chun River directly into Shenzen) to buy fireworks. They were banned in Hong Kong because of the anti-British riots in 1967. I could buy a large shopping bag full of firecrackers and rockets for about UK50 pence. As a feral child, it was great fun to let off firecrackers in Tsim Tsa Choi and have the police chase you around the streets. As for the sensationalist YT video above? - eh, it's ok. Some of it is accurate but what the narrator has failed to do is talk to any Hong Kong Chinese people or Gweilo's who actually were around then. The main thing that I would dispute is that the Kowloon Walled City was a huge centre for manufacturing opium. Yes, they had drugs, especially in the early 1900s leading into the 1930's but after that and the successive police raids the Walled City was more of a distribution centre. As the narrator said, the Sun Yee On triads had a large grip on the Walled City but by the time it was the mid 80's the 14K were having running battles with the Sun Yee On for control and meetings to discuss who would control what part. The main thing to realise is that the vast majority of people living there were just trying to have a life. They went to work, they made money any way they could and by and large, they were law-abiding citizens. As I grew up there my favourite place to go was on the first floor of the south side to a restaurant (really more of a Dai Pai Dong) run by an elderly lady I called Aunty Tse. She made the best Pai Gwat (baby spare ribs) and chicken fried noodles that I have ever had before or since. She often gave them to me for free. I was a white boy with red hair and freckles and I could speak Cantonese so she loved to chat with me. I'm 61 soon and I feel very nostalgic for a time in Hong Kong that will never be again, very much like the Hong Kongers who watch the movie, Twilight of the Warriors - Walled In.

I remember flying into the old Hong Kong airport throughout the 80s and 90s well over a dozen times and skimming over the top of the walled city and Kowloon generally. You could clearly see the people on the roofs. You flew so low it felt like the planes landing gear might touch the aerials and clothes lines on the roofs. Bye the way, Kowloon or Zhou Long in Mandarin means nine dragons. That's what the posters on the wall in the video mean...

[@Penfold-8521]

There’s an excellent essay by William Gibson (author of seminal cyberpunk work, Neuromancer) that compares the wildness and chaos of KWC and the ultra-clean ultra-modern ultra-controlled image that Singapore was fast becoming at the time. “Disneyland with the death penalty”.

@@JonManProductionsBlade Runner was inspired by the 1968 novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick. It was not inspired by Kowloon Walled City.

[@LAK_770]

​@@Erndea obviously they mean that the distinct visual design of Bladerunner was inspired by KWC, not the entire work of fiction. The squalid claustrophobic streets bustling with downtrodden humanity, with noodle shops, sketchy businesses, and signs with Asian characters everywhere, it makes sense. None of this was in the novel, and the film is a fairly loose adaptation overall. Meanwhile Ghost in the Shell's director Mamoru Oshii is on record saying he modeled the cityscapes of the 1995 film off of Hong Kong, including KWC, and that he set out to make an Asian version of Bladerunner's Los Angeles.

[@tjakal]

I hope one day someone makes a digital forensic effort to recreate this place that has captured the imagination of so many as accurately as possible. It's like seeing culture grow into a wilderness in the shape of multistory modern architecture, something that only exist in fiction nowadays and then only because of how those depictions where informed by the reality of this very place. Any fan of near future sci-fi and cyberpunk keep encountering the echo of this place in those worlds they traverse.

It seems a piece of the past, like the American Wild West. On the other hand, it also seems our future because it represents humans doing what humans do- survive. Everything we have erected in the West is a luxury. The so-called Standard of Living for The People.

[@rickwrites2612]

Nobody declares a right to luxuries. Rights are based on basic survival stuff - an opportunity to pursue survival live, be not overly interfered with and mutual aid among a community. Humans have always had that.

[@supermexicanroboninja3116]

​@@rickwrites2612 People declare luxuries to be rights or needs all the time. From big things like driving, owning a house, or going to school, to smaller things like having a working cellphone, working hot water, or a good paying job. You only need food and water to survive. Everything else is a luxury.

[@freddiemercury2075]

The Kowloon Walled city is similar to the Bukit Ho Swee squatters in Singapore in the late 1950s. Authorities tried to shut the place down but were pushed back but later on a mysterious fire broke out and burnt the entire place down, the fire was so big it is regarded as the most iconic in Singapore till today. A young politician later promised to help the people by building 80,000 public houses for the people who lost their home in 10 months and he delivered on his promises. He been winning election since then for the next 40 plus years, even becoming Prime Minister for over 30 years. His name is Mr Lee Kuan Yew. But what about the fire you might ask. Based on what I know, police attempted to investigate it only to abruptly stop investigation for some unknown reason. Till today, no one quite knows who is responsible for the fire and how it even started in the first place ...
