China Town, Vancouver

China Town, Vancouver, Canada, March 2019

再繼續放加拿大時影的相。今次是第六天的早上。

這個早上去了溫哥華唐人街。沒有預計中的多唐人。聽說自從溫哥華多了很多中國人後,四周猶如唐人街 (特別是列志文),唐人街都逐漸失街存在的價值,小了唐人來,老店相繼結業,沒有了以前的熙來攘往。

唐人街很多小店的職員都說廣東話,感覺很親切。有種回到舊香港的感覺。

Continuing to post my photos shot in Canada. This time is the morning of the 6th day.

In this morning, I went to the China Town in Vancouver. It did not have as many Chinese as I expected. I was told that since many Chinese people moved to Canada everywhere is like a China town (esp. Richmond). China town started to lose its value of existence. Fewer Chinese people come here. Old shops are closing down one after one. The street became less hustle and bustle.

The staff of most of these small shops spoke Cantonese. It felt so dear to me. Here I felt like going back to the old Hong Kong.

最近網上看到海外香港人示威都有人踩場,為勢孤力弱的他們感到心痛。
Recently there were some overseas Hongkongers protesting across the globe but they were all disturbed and harassed by the Chinese people. Hong Kong's communities are not as big as the Chinese ones. Like the students in Australia, they got surrounded and beat up. My heart broke when I saw those videos and lives.
