Labourers at pier
1960s-70s
One corner of Tai Kok Tsui typhoon shelter. Yellow filter was used to create texture to the clouds. In the past the boats shipped in the sand for coolies to move. Those who sold labour for a living may not have the opportunity for higher education, but boasts morality and a sense of righteousness, contributing their honest efforts to society.

烈陽似火炙肌膚 茹苦含辛永記牢
牛鬼蛇神難利誘 志堅品格樹楷模
