EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print from the 1960s, we catch a glimpse of life in colonial Hong Kong during a period of rapid population growth. With over four million people residing in the city, many were forced to endure harsh living conditions in squatter shacks and shanty towns. It is January 1968, and as we observe this snapshot frozen in time, our attention is drawn to a scene outside a clinic run by a charitable organization. A sense of desperation hangs heavy in the air as families patiently wait their turn to see a doctor. The lack of social welfare options available is painfully evident, leaving these individuals with limited access to medical care. Amongst the crowd are mothers clutching their children tightly, hoping for relief from ailments that plague them. This image serves as an enduring reminder of the hardships faced by those living on the fringes of society during this era. Poverty has cast its shadow over countless lives, forcing them into slums and pushing them into long queues just for basic healthcare. As we reflect upon this photograph captured by Daily Mirror's lens, it becomes clear that charity organizations played an essential role in providing assistance where government support fell short. This visual testament invites us to contemplate how far society has come since then and reminds us not to take for granted the progress made towards ensuring equal opportunities for all members of our global community.
