Just because you have not seen Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s, that is why you find these photos of Shanghai exciting!
The old and the new, the order and the chaos, the dirt poor and the filthy rich, the tradition and the advancement, those who hold fast to the past, and those who embrace the future/or the illusion of the future, the list can go on and on...
For all the middle-aged people from Hong Kong, we have seen a lot - there is nothing new under the sun! The transformation of a city follows the same pattern.
Only the package, the label, and the scale is slightly different.
Certainly, in the eyes of a "post-80s", it is something exciting!
However, it is good that someone can keep a honest record of it!
