The closure of a long-established store in Hong Kong has surprisingly stirred a vast number of netizens. This store, the Malaysian Chinese Restaurant located in Jordan, was founded in 1969 and is particularly famous for its Hainanese chicken rice. More importantly, it has been a filming location for several Hong Kong movies, such as "Throw Down" starring Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung Ka-Fai, and "Happy Birthday" starring Louis Koo and Rene Liu. In recent years, many old stores that carry the memories of numerous Hong Kong dramas have shut down.

I feel so sorry for the people of Hong Kong. I was based at Sek Kong 83-86, and loved every minute of it. I was part of the Hong Kong Flying Dragons Skydiving Display Team, which brought me in contact with people who I normally wouldn’t have known. I was hoping when the UK had to give the colony back to China, that things would stay normal. But obviously the Chinese government doesn’t realise how proud and hard working they are.

Grew up in Hong Kong, went to Sha tin Junior International School and left in end 1997 after the handover. Most of the great restaurants left for Taiwan then too. The roast goose & fishball noodles is now in Sanchong now. Never forgotten what a friend of mine said back then. Once the British hand over HK back to China, its over. Why would China work to make HK prosperous when they have ShenZhen? ShenZhen was created to compete with HK. Edit: By the way, the pronunciation of Cantonese words really made me laugh

China is forcing buildings to be taken down and redeveloped so they can keep the construction scams going. All the new buildings will be shoddy and unsafe. The construction scams were the main income source of the CCP. Without these scams, they have to take money directly from bank accounts and that makes it obvious so the CCP wants the construction scams back.

Yeah, Hong Kong lost a lot of it's old charms. Now, just like every other modern city, it looks bland and boring, with equally boring architecture. The mainland washing of Hong Kong pretty killed a lot of it's cultural heritage, and what made it distinct. I'm not saying moving with the times is a bad thing, but if it comes at the cost of what makes it unique, and you just have buildings that basically look like every other city in China, it doesn't feel special anymore. 90's Hong Kong was peak Hong Kong culture IMO, and it steadily got worse from there (especially the cinema, it sucks now).

I was shocked because surely that's the last thing they wanted. He continued "the euphoria will disappear once people realise the changes that will come but it may take a decade. The CCP won't allow HK the kind of freedom currently enjoyed to flourish. The issue is potential impact across the border." Crumbs, how right he was 😢 He's retired and left HK for greener pastures elsewhere.

They did stick to the original treaty which was a lease of the New Territories for 99 years beginning in 1898 at the end of the 2nd Opium War. Hong Kong Island and the tip of the Kowloon peninsula were ceded in perpetuity to the British Crown after the 1st Opium War, but the decision was taken long ago to cede the whole colony back to China in 1997 as the Chine has made it clear they'd just take Kowloon and the Island if they weren't handed back. Your statement about "50 more years" is just fantasy.

You are so right about that. The music, films, TV shows all reflected that golden age period of 1980s-1990s. If only the selfish British government had spent that same period of time developing and installing into the law true democracy, with everyone voting for an elected governor and legislature, that would PERHAPS have helped the situation. On the other hand, the CCP never keeps its promises and lies continuously, so perhaps it would have ended up like this anyway, no matter what. Let this be the ultimate warning to Taiwan. The PRC and CCP are corrupt, lying, murderous thugs. Do not ever trust them in any way, ever.

HK resident here, born and raised. These shops close not directly because of the politics, but because of the business is bad here, rapid inflating cost (labor and rent), the strong USD, and the re-opening China border. The price difference across the border is just too high when you can buy similar products/services with less than half the price in China, and countries like Japan is absolutely cheap now. Ultimately you can say it's because of the China-US decoupling, and foreign capital fleeing HK, it's a tragic situation, HK need to find another way. Or China need to have 180 change on HK policy, which I don't think will happen under current leadership.

Why are all these businesses shutting down since China GDP grew at 5.2%? 🤔

China just builds another ghost town and GDP goes up!

Protestors destroyed the city economy. A strong economy was the only way to keep Hk autonomous. Now all those students emigrate away leaving all those we can’t to live in the mess they left behind. Kind of just shows you how much they actually cared.

Raising the rent on these businesses and then the businesses shut down….how is the landlord going to make money now, it’s a no win, win, solution

Hong kong loss is Canada and the US gain. Let's admit those food enterpreneurs and chefs with talents to North America... If we can not go to HK no more, we bring HK to us.. Hong Kong as I knew, forever..

Greedy landlords. Greed! They are so stupid. No loyalty. Then what happens when they have to sit on their now more expensive place to rent because no one wants to rent it! Or can rent it!
