@S W ToDi Looks like your imagination comes from ingesting lots of gutter oil. The evil deeds of Red China the whole world witnessed with their own eyes, such as scaming the whole world through the lies it told to gain entrance into the WTO. Red China's refusing to honor the Joint Declaration it signed in front of the world with the British, registered in the UN is another. These are facts. No one respects 'success' acquired through lying, cheating and robbing. The Cultural Revolution completely wiped out Chinese culture from the piece of land called PRC; the souless behaviors of 99% red chinese mainlanders are witnessed globally. Your parrot like regurgitation from CCP's propaganda handbook is blown years ago during the era of the Cultural Revolution. Brainwashed commies zombies like you are a disgrace to the entire global Chinese race, so is your Communist Red China which is a fake. You commies even write one of the two Chinese characters for China wrong! Once again, the war between Good and Evil comes to the forefront of mankind, after two major ones. The third one is inevitable.

I was lucky enough to have lived in the New Territories 1966-69, school was St.George’s, Kowloon and life was just amazing. No images on film can really give a flavour of the smell, heat, humidity, excitement of moving around within the Colony, the rickety single deckers outside of Kowloon and the Island, the crush of people, the ingenuity of the people and the clear distinction between the have and have nots, but as a have not, you had one path and that was via your own effort- no social support just sheer hard work. I re-visited just before the handover, amazing changes but tinged with the sadness that everyone knew that China and the CCP would never honour the two system agreement, they would start to chip away, then smash away and before your eyes would blatantly state that it was the will of the people. If I had a time machine, not to change anything, but just to go back to 1966-69 and revisit and see just how interesting things were before we all changed into cynics.

Thank you but it's not a colony. It is our home.
@@user-li3pn8nx3u it was then and I'm sure they wish today they still were. Since the return to China Hong Kong has gone down hill .
Rascal Husky If you had ever come to HK you would learn.
Interesting and very educational. Well made 👌. Hong Kong was much better under uk rule than today . The people of Hong Kong had freedom in many ways . Today that's completely gone .
What kind of freedom lol
Thanks for posting such wonderful film, brings back youth memories, Thanks
Thank you so much! The sights were reminiscent of my childhood.
小時候上大酒樓食物煮得非常之好食，依家仲記得😊
好懷念我們的香港！
Thank you for sharing such valuable footage
I was there in 1968 to 1969
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I can still remember the closed area at Sha Tou Kok. Went back in 2015 to visit Kuk Po village.
非常有共鳴，想不到移民幾十年後，仍能再重溫如昨天別去的鄉土風情，有意思，謝謝，我會推介給我輩移民及我們的後代觀看，謝謝！
Do you honestly like your new country?
@@SWToDi-qc8hb Do you honestly like your birth country? Well, it is not a real question. Your answer does not matter. Your birth at a certain place is only a coincidence. You did not make that decision. You did not earn the right to be there. It is a lottery, and you happened to be there.
Lovely, nicely shot, the unhurried pace is splendid, thank you
Very nice and real documentary, thanks for posting it! Also the sound track fits well with the movie.
Pictures and Video mostly 99% was BLACK AND WHITE in my memory, That is a great colorful memory that could extend the years before i was born 1967 June
wow...very rare footage...thanks for upload!!
Memorable historical youtube of Hong Kong. I was about 20 years old.
Thanks for sharing, that was also the first year i visited Hong Kong
今年是2020 年鼠年，1967 年，嘩 !! 53 年前的珍貴紀錄片，而且是彩色 colour film , 配樂充滿中國風，好聽。多謝上傳。 19/7/2020 HK .
I had left many thx messages before, and now, I have to say it again. thank you Mr. Rogge, your great works give me chances to know the past of HK! thx!
Love the music. Great job!
I wish i was born during this era, everything looks so real, connecting and historical
Those days were peaceful; people were poor but happy.
Old is GOLD 😍
Stupid comments in 1967 the Vietnam war was raging and everybody was afraid of nuclear war between the US and the USSR
Thanks for posting !
This brings back so many memories and it's actually surprising how little has actually changed over the years.
以我記得那時的舊式唐樓還有倒夜香的. 因為還未有沖水式的廁所.
great footage, thank you!
The great Auld British Hong Kong 👑
Indians were much more submissive and enjoyed British rule they got to live under british rule for many extra centuries
片段彌足珍貴，片中香港仔和鄉村景色現今早已絕跡。
I left Hong Kong in 1967, the day after the riot during which a news broadcaster was killed. After over 50 years, I still miss that place (until recent events). The video brought back lots of memory & emotion. Those were actually the "good old days", even we were poor.
Those were the simple old days when there was no government welfare for the unemployed. People worked very hard to earn their decent life to put food on the table for their family.
@@jamesng9831 Back then people, however poor they were, need only money to enter a hair salon and restaurants. Now they need mandatory vaccines and tracking apps! Money is worthless now.
Would you go back to the "good old days"? Not me.
@@tlee3838 Then stay.
Who filmed this? He/she did a very good job!
文字的記錄，尚有理解的偏差。圖像的紀錄，平淡如水的表達。影視的呈現，歷歷在目的回憶。 歷史社會時移世易、面貌渙然，往蹟影中尋。
nice video, miss the old hong kong
hello, old hong kong (wanna say british ??) i was born in romania, my life dream was to visit h.k., when i lived in romania no money, no possibility to get outside, h.k. was then british crown colony of h.k. now i live in spain from 2001, i have spanish citizenship, i can make a trip anywhere, but ......., is the h.k. the same ????? 😳 in july 1997 i cryed watching t.v. how they gonna give to p.r. of china the siank-kan perfumate harbour.... are you from h.k. ? do you think it worth to visit nowadays ?

Enjoyed your video. Reminded me of when I visit there in 1967.
What a great job you've done for us here. Really reminds me of the good old days in Hong Kong betweem 1967 till 1971 while going to school there. Been searching for this kind of films for a long time...Many tks krub...
Thank you for sharing.
C'est (!) vraiment très beau .
Great memory jolter. I went to live in Hong Kong when I was 10 in 1968 so most of what you filmed was very familiar. The only thing missing are the sounds and smells!!
So grateful for sharing this Video 👍👍👍
I love HongKong😢😢😢
Even with barbaric terrorst Cockroaches? You must be a CIA agent posted in Hong Kong for the riot movement!
@@SWToDi-qc8hb You must be a CCP red guard?
彩色真的很棒！好像坐了時光倒流機！
1967 was my birth year! No fancy mall but nice close neighbourhood, too bad is not the same anymore...
It was also the year when CCP started riots in HK and planted "pineapple, homemake" bombs in the public that killed a very young girl and her little brother.
Nostalgia. I had bridged over my poor teenage live in the Central District. It's not a good memory to me but still thank you to upload this clip.
Hongkongers: hardest working people in the world.
We had no choice. My parents were working 6 1/2 days a week. My great-grandma was taking care of my two brothers and me. Talking about the capitalist exploitation of the workers. Now they are doing the same thing in China.
Excellent historical images and film. I went to Aberdeen area daily circa 1974 to a family friend's restaurant kitchen to learn the ropes - hoping the skill would be my ticket to Canada or USA. Even in those days the floating restaurant (9:15) was considered to be very overpriced and tourist trap. But it was infinitely better than what it becomes today. My learnt cooking skill turned out not to be the ticket for me to the West, but my education later in the West. Thanks for sharing.
V Sohn Yup...now complete Tourist Trap...plus fishermen pushed further out and now mostly big Yachts to show off one's wealth !
好正 好清晰 好有味道..... 还未来到这个世界的年代 ～
The Good old days of HK
影片懷舊,音樂令人陶醉於香港情懷。
Those were the days❤️😞
Very valuable video documentary of a bygone era in Hong Kong. It is like a time machine to a more innocent time when I already left Hong Kong. You did a fine job filming with what we now consider an antique video camera. How did you convert it to a digital format for us lucky youtube viewers?
những thước phim tư liệu quý giá và quá tuyệt vời ! Nhìn đường phố Hong Kong năm 1967 tự dưng lại nhớ tới miền Nam Việt Nam thời Việt Nam Cộng Hòa cùng thời điểm đó quá .
This is a great video. I wish to see more details on everything but dues to the resolution we can only have an impression of what’s going back in the 60’s.
Hongkong 1967 very good
Amazing 👌😍👌😊😍
Precious images of HK in March 1967 - just a few months before the massive riots. At that time, I was a student in a Mid-levels secondary school. It was a most unsettling and trying time for all of us.
It was also the year when CCP started riots in HK and planted "pineapple, homemake" bombs in the public that killed a very young girl and her little brother.
回憶總是美好的。不過，我們也不能否認，當年一般市民的生活艱難（不過可能快樂），貪污、黑社會的問題嚴重（雖然現在合法剝削或更令人氣憤）
7:04，應該是當年落馬洲。當年大陸未開放，西方遊客唯一有機認識大陸，便是由落馬洲遠眺大陸。
老香港好美麗
有很多好看的招牌，現在全拆了
İyi olmus pis hong kong ve cinliler hiç güzel degil
Good colored video of HK harbour and the families in their junks. Thanks. In 67 I was 23 May 13. My youngest grandson now 2018 is 2years old May27, your BD Micheal
one of the list in bucket list that i wanna visit
我細路仔的時候跟父母坐呢d艇 去珍寶呢…………咁就過咗 40 年了
52 YEARS!!!!
They may not be the richest but certainly it gives me the feeling like they're close knitted
Great run ashore many memories
那年才7歲小孩，住在橫頭磡徒置區，對面獅子山仍是木屋區。母親千叮萬囑不要隨街踢罐頭波蘿，會炸死人！亦曾經親眼目睹引爆土製炸彈！記憶尤新。轉眼已經是古稀之年。
六七暴動嗎
土製波蘿係依家工聯會班共狗所放
*Love it !!!*
I was only 6 years old and I can remember the oceanliner at the Ocean Terminal.
Good for you! I was around 16 or 17 in school and started having meals at restaurants because having additional afternoon class!
Wow fantastic footage. If anybody is feeling too reminiscent for the HK of this era, then I cannot recommend Georgetown in Malaysia enough. Another former colony that skipped the development of the 70s and 80s. Now the old town is a UNESCO heritage site.
Wonderful stuff - I'm actually looking for archive footage to use in my independent documentary would you be willing to discuss
是用超8厘米或16厘米菲林拍的嗎？但質素很好！
I was lucky enough to have lived in the New Territories 1966-69, school was St.George’s, Kowloon and life was just amazing. No images on film can really give a flavour of the smell, heat, humidity, excitement of moving around within the Colony, the rickety single deckers outside of Kowloon and the Island, the crush of people, the ingenuity of the people and the clear distinction between the have and have nots, but as a have not, you had one path and that was via your own effort- no social support just sheer hard work. I re-visited just before the handover, amazing changes but tinged with the sadness that everyone knew that China and the CCP would never honour the two system agreement, they would start to chip away, then smash away and before your eyes would blatantly state that it was the will of the people. If I had a time machine, not to change anything, but just to go back to 1966-69 and revisit and see just how interesting things were before we all changed into cynics.
You were lucky you were the privileged one. Thank God we got rid of the colonial masters!
Note: This is 11 months after a small riot and 2 months before another historically important riot
Hong kongers were very lucky,hong kong were very western city,enjoy a lot of freedom, China was in a cultural revolution at the time.
There were riots in Hong Kong in 1967 and there were bound corpses floating down Pearl river frequently.
Great video well done good job buddy. I was born in 60 's in hk . : )
This sure brings back some fond memories!
Spent a few days in June 1967 while staying at Fortuna Hotel on Nathan Rd. as my first visit to this Old World's most historic and cosmopolitan city of Hong Kong.
Hi i was wondering if i could have permission to use this vide? For one of my video clips. If you want i could attatch a link to your video and channel for credits. Thanks :)

經典的回憶影片
In those days, you could buy the live seafood in Cheung Chau and Aberdeen. The fish were local produce. Today, most of the seafood come from foreign countries.
I was 7 years old living in a village in Sheung Shui!
幾多年前的7歲？,20,30,40,50,60,70?
@@kamyantse6712 Hi, Thanks for asking. I just turned 60 so it's over 50 years ago. Do you know SHEUNG Shui?
@@kamyantse6712 估計當然是 1967 的 7 歲。
nice filming, was this film taken by yourself while traveled hong kong in the 60's? I was probably one of the young child in the film.
