Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
Mui tsai was a product of prevailing Chinese cultural prejudices towards the birth of a girl in a family, which in their most extreme form expressed themselves in female infanticide.
Following simtang's earlier postings of stills from this film, I thought it might be nice to cover more of the locations that were used in the film as I have done with other movies (Soldier of Fortune, Enter the Dragon).
The film was made and released in 1956 with the on-location filming in Hong Kong completed during January 1956.
In 2019 I posted a request for help under the title “Warrens at Sea” in locating the dates that my family left or arrived in Hong Kong by boat. I’ve been successful in finding 2 out of 6 of those voyages thanks to being offered a trial week to search the SCMP, which seems to be come up with more “hits” for a name than the mmis search facility.
I'm looking into CLP substations built in the 1960s that have employee housing on the upper floors, and would appreciate any information about them. There are roughly a dozen of these substations left, mostly in Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Sham Shui Po, Tai Kok Tsui and To Kwa Wan. I've found one out in Tsuen Wan and another in Tai O. I've been able to access the CLP archives and found mention of them in several annual reports from the early 60s. They were part of a company policy to provide housing for their "Chinese workmen" but few details beyond that.
Panoramas of Hong Kong 1900-1999
Over the years I have collected a large number of panoramic photographs of Hong Kong so I thought I would collect them all on one page, together with other Panoramas posted on Gwulo, divided into decades. Some of the dating is approximate so please feel free to post corrections on the individual panoramas page
Part 1, Hong Kong 1842-1899 can be found here

Hi all - a bit of a shot in the dark but I am looking to find the aircraft registration number for a BOAC 707 that took me and my family to HK for the first time on Saturday 9th September 1967 departing London Heathrow. I am having a display model made and would love to have the correct registration number if possible. Not sure where to look or even if its possible to find out such a thing.
Many thanks in advance. Keith
