This is a 7 minutes documentary video produced with original photos and photos and video taken by the author. A photo identification of a group photo is at the end of the video.
😎well, 根據資料: 何東的生父是荷蘭籍猶太人Charles Henri Maurice Bosman,何仕文(1839年8月29日-1892年11月10日)。「何姓」是何仕文從1859年至1873年在香港逗留期間所使用的漢化姓氏。何仕文原荷蘭姓氏是Bosman漢化為何姓,其姓氏Bosman音譯為粵語「何仕文」(粵語拼音Ho Sze Man)。所以以"非華人"待遇能在山頂上"立足"吧!加上富甲一方!香港當年亦有權富貴米高·嘉道理爵士,GBS,伊拉克猶太人(Michael Kadoorie)呢!
Thanks Andrew for the precious photos and your efforts! Esp at 5:04 which Sir R. HT and his half brother 何甘棠 were the traditional Chinese mourning dress披麻帶孝
Many thanks indeed, it is little chance to have known the interior of iconic resident mansions within past Chinese elite circle of Hong Kong. And it is really a reflection to show one's integrity of how they decorated their home, such a decent personality.
I am sitting in Tai Kwun at Central, watching Andrew’s family archives / video, in an exhibition….I am so impressed….which brings me to here…. Glad that I can still see the old days of my beloved Hong Kong ❤ many thanks for showing these video again 🙏
