Unique Hong Kong culture

Some people say that Hong Kong is a cultural desert, but this is not the case. It would be very interesting if you could live in Hong Kong for a while and observe the city carefully, patiently savor its culture and capture its temperament and spirit. This treasure island, where Eastern and Western cultures are compatible, has its own unique and proud features. The first is the combination of Chinese and Western styles. In the shopping mall, famous products from all over the world are gathered together, making it a paradise for shopping and shopping; on the streets, advertisements and signboards written in Chinese and English (or even Cantonese) can be seen everywhere, which is the popular culture of society; in the subway, people are hurrying to work. , people going to school are racing against time to read the freshly released newspapers. They are a people who keep pace with the times. In newspapers and periodicals, articles expressing feelings in Cantonese dialect are often seen, and they are extremely popular with the general public.

Even ordinary women and children who have never learned English will naturally use many English-transliterated words as long as they have lived in Hong Kong for several years; and English names are even more popular among people. Especially among white-collar workers with a certain cultural level, it is common to communicate in English.

This is a city where Chinese and Western cultures blend. For me, an English-illiterate person from the Mainland, listening to these interesting "Liyin" sounds during meetings is quite interesting even though I am not used to it. This year's exposure to Chinese and Western cultures not only broadened my horizons, but also provided me with a good opportunity to learn English. In addition, Hong Kong’s cultural resources are rich and open. Nearly 40 large-scale libraries (including those of various universities), tens of millions of books from various countries, and hundreds of thousands of multimedia audio-visual players are always waiting for Hong Kong people to visit. Sha Tin Town Hall, Hong Kong Cultural Center, Convention and Exhibition Center, Hung Hom Stadium and other cultural venues have more than 3,000 performances every year, delighting the ears and eyes of Hong Kong people. The Hong Kong Audiovisual Arts Center, Tea Ware Museum, various thematic museums, large and small gymnasiums, art museums, folk museums, space museums, science museums, etc. are often open to the public. Every Wednesday or during winter and summer vacations, students can also enjoy free visits. Field trip with the group. With these cultural places, school education and teaching will have a good practice base, and students will have a good place to go during holidays. It can be said that Hong Kong culture is popular and there is culture everywhere in Hong Kong.

It is said that the circulation of newspapers in Hong Kong is extremely high now. With a population of more than 6 million, Hong Kong has more than 60 daily newspapers and nearly 600 periodicals. Three of the daily newspapers are distributed free of charge. A newspaper has three to forty pages and more than a hundred pages. People hold up newspapers and glance at politics, economy, culture, and finally encounter the stock market, as well as horse stocks, wave stocks, murders, car accidents, celebrity tracking, and private secrets? This is where many Hong Kong people feast.

In Hong Kong, if you are interested in tracking a cultural event, you will eventually find that it is inextricably linked to business. Opening up the cloak of culture, business is often both the starting point and the end point. Some people name this kind of culture industrial culture. When culture is penetrated by business, culture is just a form, seemingly there or not, and business is the purpose. At this time, people feel that Hong Kong culture is as little as Hong Kong’s green spaces. But at the same time, Hong Kong's business is also covered with a layer of culture. Business has a kind of cultural infiltration, which makes people feel comfortable and civilized. This is a popular, everyday culture that is wrapped up in the operation of capital, digested in a strong business society, and fed back to the people as a by-product of business. It does not have the dullness of traditional culture, nor the unfamiliarity and difficulty of elite culture. It is easy to tolerate, attracts and lingers, and is full of comedy, allowing you to enjoy and consume culture while talking and laughing. It is precisely because of this that Hong Kong has never been able to shake off the label of "cultural desert". This is the characteristic of Hong Kong culture.
