Tram going through Central

Gwyneth Tang, 15, student

i took this picture at 23rd dec. 2005 23:30 when i was sitting on a tram going to sheung wan. I've been living in tsing yi since i was born, therefore i didnt usually ride on trams. i had never taken a tram till i was primary four. i forgot where i was going but only the picture kept in my mind throughout years: there were only few passagers on the tram. it was a hot sweltering summer day. i took a sit by the windows. gentle breezes wiped off my torrid feeings and dried my sweat. sceneries outside the windows were so new to me. the ride was rather noisy tho, it was novel and special for the little girl.

time flees, now i prefer to have a ride on tram when i'm dejected. it might not be as cozy as 7 years ago. the tram sometimes can be really crowded. but it is slow enough for you to have clear visions of hong kong, the peoples, the buildings and even some trivia which is happening at the same moment in the same city. i'd feel so much better when i've relized that there are plenty of other affairs taking places in such tiny part of the globe. and i'm just a puny part of them.

i can barely imagine hong kong without tram in the future tho it may really happen. 84 years later i probably cant get a ride on tram when i'm down. and these early memories will likely to be vanished with times. but i guess history of hong kong will not put the tram - this aggregate remembrance aside.
