A video of Brits OLD Hong Kong in 1937
Ignore the dialogue and the irritating voice of the commentator. The staged
film is worth seeing. I didn't expect pre-war Hong Kong to be so clean and
beautiful, and the people on the streets so well dressed and cheerful.
While the video is a good one showing old hk, the commentary leaves much
to be desired. From historical perspective, the commentary is a whitewash and
sheer British propaganda suggesting that the Brits came and got rid of pirates
inhabiting HK, but most insulting remark is that the Brits took HK as a payment
for TRADE debt from CHINA without mentioning OPIUM TRADE which resulted in the
infamous Opium War!
