Being Hong Kong 020: The World

2023 is now in the past, but have you counted
how many photos you took last year?


Have you ever estimated how many portraits or candid photos
a person takes in their lifetime?


Since the invention of photography in 1839,
countless portraits have been taken,
proving that these individuals indeed lived.


Photographs can guide our memories,
leading us through periods of time that have passed.
When memories fade and loved ones depart,
photos can also provide us with clues
to imagine and connect with eras we couldn't be part of,
different lives.


Whether you're browsing cloud-stored photos, taking selfies on your phone,
or flipping through family albums gathering dust for decades,
or even old photos from a century ago,
on this journey into "Hong Kong's Human World,"
among countless figures,
who are the people that leave an impression on you?
