As times change, many Hong Kong stories are slowly disappearing. While there's still a chance, let's record them and take a look together at the cultural life that once flourished in Hong Kong during a certain era! Cantonese Museum's "Tong Hok" series, the 5th installment, "Cantonese That Loves to Talk About Culture," continues to explore more interesting stories and terms related to Hong Kong with readers.
