Shops on Queen's Road Central
Those Chinese people who came to Hong Kong to earn a living in the early days lead extremely difficult lives. In times of trouble, they reached out to industry, native and kai-fong (neighbourhood) associations for assistance. Over time, Chinese communities developed a strong spirit of mutual support. This photograph shows Queen's Road Central to the west of Central Market in the early 20th century. Burgeoning with shops on both sides of the road, this is indeed a prosperous scene.
