The only 44-year-old “Shangzai” in Hong Kong with a history of 44 years will be officially closed tomorrow (31st) from 5:00 pm onwards. It is reported that following the shedzai is closed, all remaining goods in the shed will be confiscated by the authorities. A cloth dealer who has been in business for more than 30 years bluntly said that he would change careers following closing the business, and criticized the authorities for not seriously handling the compensation and relocation issues, hoping to give enough time to “bulk”. A reporter from our newspaper went to inspect the “Pengzai” yesterday followingnoon. The scene was crowded with nearly a hundred people. Many people came to buy cloth before the relocation. There were also foreign tourists and “Dragon Friends” among them. It is believed that they stayed for the historic moment. beautiful shadow.

Ms. Mui, who is engaged in fashion purchasing, felt sorry for the relocation of the shed, because shed is supposed to be the last market in Hong Kong where hawkers can gather. It has historical characteristics and its value cannot be easily replaced by other places. She continued to point out that she needs to buy cloth around the corner, and has been helping the shed shop for more than ten years. She described “they have everything, it’s like a treasure hunt. Compared with street shops, it is much more flexible.” After the relocation, she believes that it will have a great impact on creative people, because compared with other places, the relevant supporting facilities are quite different, and there is also one less good place to buy fabrics.

Citizen Mrs. Leung worked nearby since she was a child, so she knew the place of Shanzai very early. She pointed out that there were occasional “helpers”. She described that it was very rare to revisit the old place before the relocation. The owner of the stall is also quite humane, and has always gotten along well with the neighbors nearby. “You can forget to eat during this time.” I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a similar place in the future, and even lose the place to gather.

Su Sheng, a cloth dealer who has been in the shed for more than 30 years, said that he might not see the development prospects of the cloth industry, so he will change careers following graduation, or work in the security industry. Regarding compensation and relocation arrangements, he angrily denounced the authorities for being unkind. He bought seven stalls one following another at prices ranging from HK$50,000 to HK$100,000 many years ago. The Hong Kong dollar suffered heavy losses. Su also revealed that at the end of last year, he received a letter from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, requesting that all the goods in the shed should be removed by 5:00 tomorrow, but he bluntly said that there is not enough time, and he has tried many times, hoping to give a grace period until the end of March at the latest , but ultimately to no avail. He described Chinese New Year as a time of anxiety. He used to rest from the 26th of the New Year to the 9th and 10th of the Lunar New Year, but now he has to start working on bulk goods, otherwise “there will be no scum left.”
