Reading Response:Leung P.-K.

These several sections discussed the Hongkong films in 1950s and later serve as a cultural medium to express directors’ understanding of the city Vs. country and rural Vs. urban. Mainland China at that time is a socialistic country and represents “rural”. Hongkong, on the contrary, as a  capitalistic city colonized by Britain, represents “Urban”. Western culture has been greatly advertised since the last century by the HongKong government through pop parties, fashion shows, the Miss Hongkong Pageant, and so on.
