Sand & Dust Department Store · Honey · Huajian · Telephone T-shirt In 1842, Hong Kong was opened as a port, and in 1851, a foreign prostitute put out a small advertisement in the "Dechen West Newspaper": "At Mrs. Langdai's place, there are small jars of good honey for sale, in addition to gin, brandy, Cherry wine...Location: Floor X, No. X, London, Victoria." I believe everyone is familiar with it, honey has another meaning in English. In fact, the advertisement alludes to "good honey" - high-end foreign prostitutes are waiting for the driver on the street. It is said that foreigners call prostitutes to send flowers to win favor, so the flower stalls gathered on the streets gave birth to the Chinese name Laihua Street. If you understand, you will walk to the door with newspapers and flowers. With the gradual prosperity of commercial trade, the first telephone company was opened in Hong Kong in 1881, and advertisements for installation were gradually published in the newspapers. The term "Delifeng" is unfamiliar to the general public. (Some say that "Delifeng" was translated by Yan Fu, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty; others said that it was transliterated through Shanghai dialect). Another name that is more well-known is A translation of "telephone" from Japan. Since the 1900s, the trend of Hong Kong's erotic industry has been blowing from the puddle mouth to the big restaurant and ballroom in Stone. If there are "Western vegetables" (foreign prostitutes), there will naturally be "Tuodi Zhengcai", and there are also many peerless famous prostitutes in the local area. Following the ancient brothels, women were able to sing and dance. At that time, famous courtesans in Tangxi behaved decently and happily without being obscene. ) four items are only standard. Beginning with the charge of "One Mosquito Chicken" (which originated from the fact that the guests of Tangxi Restaurant spent one yuan to write "Flower Notes" to call a prostitute, pour a drink to accompany them or play and sing a song), the sons and brothers have entered the money-burning time. In those days, how many "filial sons" made Bo Hongyan's family go bankrupt with amazing tricks, not only burning silver paper, making mung bean paste, sending flower cards made of folded banknotes, but even installing the trendy gadgets that only high-ranking officials could have at that time in their rooms. Just to change the way to make the beautiful woman heart. The so-called poverty limits the imagination. If it wasn't for the fact that we had seen Ruhua and Twelve Shao in "Rouge Buckle", it would be difficult for the poor people like me to imagine such a Gatsby-style drunken life and dream death out of thin air. After that, phone calls became more and more popular, while Tangxi declined for various reasons. In the early 1930s, the British government enacted legislation to ban prostitution, which spread to colonial Hong Kong. It's a pity that food and sex are also sexual. After the total ban on prostitution in 1935, the erotic trading method of looking for "tour guide girls" became popular, and the tour guide agency became the "liver-soothing garden" for the dog owners (the word for soothing liver was originally a term of traditional Chinese medicine. , which in Cantonese is extended to experience a good thing that makes you feel good). The hotel introduces it to the guests, and then just dials a wheel (Cantonese, meaning to make a phone call, the old telephone body has a rotatable disc on the front body with small holes numbered 1 to 9 and 0, and the fingers are inserted into the phone numbers one by one. You can make a phone call by dialing the small hole clockwise. It is commonly known as "disc" in Cantonese for "wheel"), and tour guides of different levels are called. The world is unpredictable, and the erotic industry has gone underground, but it is actually related to the phone in this way. Among them, there are various forms of the red world, and together we interweave the century-old changes of the former Hong Kong. This historical (great) history (dream) that actually happened is incorporated into our own imagination and becomes a pattern. In the past, the purple drunk and gold fan of Xiangjiang, Telephone played an unusual role in it. Therefore, we took the corner of the telephone booth of Hong Kong's Lai Yuen Amusement Park where there was a dance performance in the old days as the prototype to create the fragrant Honey, Huajian, and Telephone.
