EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling street scene in Aplichow, a historic fishing village located near Aberdeen in Hong Kong during the 1960s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this vibrant community during an era of significant cultural and urban transformation. The photograph showcases a narrow, winding street lined with traditional Chinese shop houses and structures, their ornate facades adorned with intricate carvings and colorful signs. The architecture reflects the rich ethnic and cultural diversity of the area, a melting pot of indigenous and immigrant communities. People of various ethnicities and ages can be seen going about their daily business, adding to the lively atmosphere. A woman in a traditional Chinese dress walks along the street, carrying a large basket on her back, while a man in a Western-style suit hurries past, briefcase in hand. A group of children play in the street, their laughter echoing through the narrow alleyways. The photograph also captures the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, with lush greenery and the sparkling waters of Aberdeen Harbour visible in the background. The traditional sampans and junks moored along the shore add to the picturesque scenery, highlighting the area's rich maritime heritage. This photograph is an invaluable ethnographic record of a bygone era, offering insights into the history and culture of Aplichow and its people. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the unique stories that each community holds.
