lui seng chun building

Hong Kong Resident A:

” Witness of Time, plus the name just makes me feel familiar.

I think he’s thinking what I’m thinking, which is that because this type of building tends to be bound to have a different story about him, plus I see that his profile is actually in a busier area, and then it’s such a little bit of a period building, that this type of building is actually going to be a little bit out of place in a busier area, but he’s, well, even if he’s so out of place, it’s not going to stop him from staying in the most busy place.

Because I think it is now in a very good state, that is, he has very heavy traces of age, but also in such a busy place, a bit like the elders in a big data era, that is, he seems to be out of place, but in fact, if you go deeper to understand a bit more, perhaps you will find that he is very able to keep up with the current times to talk about the pace.

In fact, I am a bit torn, because I do not want to change its shape, because I think it this shape is very beautiful, but also very historical precipitation. But I also want to see it and because in the end it is the interval of Hong Kong, I would prefer him to be full of some modernity, not fashionable, because Hong Kong is a very fast-paced city, but in fact it is a very slow-paced building.

Yes, because although it is a very historical and age-old building, its transparent floor-to-ceiling windows and the neon lights on its signboards do not contradict the bustling feeling of the surrounding area, but rather I think that this is a very good thing about it. Just as we sometimes want to change the minds of our elders, or change the minds of our friends who have different ideas, we subconsciously think that our own ideas are more correct. But people’s ideas are many times, what is correct and incorrect, it exists must have its reason, you can not use your very subjective concept to judge it right or wrong. Just like who says that this building is so historical that it can’t be in the most prosperous place, if we force to change him, maybe it will make him lose his original beauty and make him not have his own characteristics.

Because you see the original look is very simple, very bright geometry, and then there are some European decorations, some circles, and some thin, thin frames. But the pictures that we generated, even the last one that I’m barely satisfied with, he still has some very crowded and very closed feeling, it’s not as open and bright as it was originally, I still prefer his original look.

I think there’s just two possibilities, well, either he’s still so retro and bright and then seems to be out of place and then there’s a little bit of an old-fashioned vibe, or he’s really become very simple like the last one and still has floor-to-ceiling windows. But because of the simplicity and minimalism, but lost his original kind of historical legacy of this center of synergy.

I hope it’s the first hope I just mentioned, that it doesn’t change, because change is actually a very simple thing to do, but to stay the same all the time and stick to yourself is the hardest part.”
