Mong Kok and Temple Street are two places full of fireworks in the world, and the stories of the little people are staged here, which has also created the most wonderful golden 30 years of Hong Kong movies. "God of Food" and "New Love" were all filmed here, all because Temple Street contains authentic Hong Kong feelings. There are also quite a lot of Hong Kong films named after Temple Street, including "Temple Street Story", "Temple Street Twelve Youths", "Temple Street Queen", "Temple Street Ma Brothers", "Temple Street Thirteen Sisters" and so on.
The gloomy ecstasy in "The God of Food" can be traced on Temple Street, a food gathering place lined with rows of roadside stalls and authentic Hong Kong-style claypot rice. Temple Street becomes more beautiful at night, and it is not until dusk that the stalls begin to do business, which contrasts sharply with the quiet side streets during the day. At night, dance halls and nightclubs are also open, and people of all colors settle here.
Temple Street gets its name from the nearby Tin Hau Temple, also known as "Men's Street", because most of the goods in the neighborhood are dominated by male preferences: knitted clothes, undershirts, jeans, pens, watches, electronics, computer hardware, etc. Because of the concentration of cheap goods, it is also known as the common nightclub of Hong Kong. Fortune tellers, food sellers, stalls and Cantonese opera singers will all give you a taste of Hong Kong's intimate side.
"The Story of Temple Street", released in 1995, starring Ekin Cheng and Wu Qianlian, Ekin Cheng played Ah Miao grew up in Temple Street, his father was hacked to death on the street when he was very young, and his mother supported her son by singing pornographic songs. Later, in order to save people, Ah Miao committed manslaughter, and after being released from prison, he still adhered to his feelings. The director of this film, Liu Weiqiang, is also respected as the father of "Crazy Boy Movies".
The gangster in the movie always likes to say to his younger brother: "Back then, I fought from Temple Street to Tsim Sha Tsui and then to Causeway Bay to have today's status." Therefore, Temple Street can be said to be the germination of Hong Kong's triad. The most unique Hong Kong flavor of Hong Kong films actually originates from the disorderly and crowded streets and alleys, and the police and black are also the content that Hong Kong movies can't avoid. And once the "split" is opened, Temple Street is a place that cannot be bypassed, because it represents the atmosphere of Hong Kong's market.
