Revive and Thrive in Hawking
2024-12-02
Hawkers were once a deeply human part of Hong Kong's street culture. However, since the 1970s, the government has relocated many vendors to designated areas or public markets. It also halted the issuance of new hawker licences and imposed restrictions on the inheritance succession and transfer of existing licences. As a result, the number of licensed hawkers has declined. As of December 2023, there are approximately 5,053 f fixed-pitch hawkers and about 270 itinerant hawkers in Hong Kong. While public opinions on hawking vary, some argue that hawkers benefit grassroot communities and attract tourists. Will society consider establishing a robust licensing system for hawker markets and implementing long term conservation and support policies to revitalize and develop hawking culture, preserving this traditional aspect of street culture?
If “ Hong Kong Connection ” were a tree, how old would it be? It was on 5 March, 1978 that the documentary series first went on the air in Chinese.
As the series continues, its staff are determined to go on uncovering and delving into every local and international topic that concerns the people in Hong Kong, whether it be political, economic, educational, commercial, environmental or technological.
A tree plays an important environmental role in refreshing the air that we breathe and holding from the earth on which we stand. It is Hong Kong Connection's mission to provide the public with information and analyses as well as an opportunity for rational discussion.
The programme is aired from 29 May 2023 (Monday) on RTHK32 at 9:30pm - 10:00pm.
