Memories of the Walled City - Legacy of memory
Although Kowloon Walled City has always been a notorious crime zone, the residents continue their daily lives here. So, what is their real life like? Before the demolition, all squatter houses were illegally built by homeless people and refugees from World War II to the Chinese Civil War. They were used as their temporary residences. Due to the poor living conditions of the people and the lack of public security management, it has gradually become a gathering point for the underworld. With the growth of the population, the densely packed buildings filled the land of the Walled City, and people could only shuttle through the dark, narrow streets and were kept in a labyrinthine city of sin.
On the other hand, it is precisely because of the alternative and gloomy nature of the Kowloon Walled City that it triggers our imaginations about the world in the Walled City. Many classic Chinese and foreign film and television works are based on the Walled City, such as "Kung Fu Hustle", "Blade Runner" and "Ghost in the Shell", etc., all of which have been infused with elements of the Walled City as the theme or scene which are impressive.
龍城往事 — 記憶的遺產
雖然九龍寨城一直是個惡名昭彰的罪惡地帶，但住在這裡的居民依舊在這裡繼續他們的日常起居。那麼他們的真實生活到底是怎樣的呢？在拆遷前，這裡全是由二戰至國共內戰時期的流浪者和難民非法興建的寮屋，並作為他們的臨時住所。由於人們生活拮据，地方缺乏治安管理，漸漸便淪為黑社會的聚集點。隨著人口的增長，密密麻麻的樓房種滿了寨城的土地，人們只能穿梭在黑暗、狹窄的街道，被豢養在如同迷宮般的罪惡之城。
另一方面，正正是因為九龍寨城的另類與陰暗，引發了我們對寨城裡的世界浮想聯翩。不少中外經典的影視作品都以寨城為藍本，例如《功夫》、《銀翼殺手》和《攻殼機動隊》等，注入了寨城的元素作為主題或場景，令人印象深刻。
