At a closer look, paper tiles are actually all around the city – on the walls of public housing estates, the stairs of tenement houses, the pavilions in parks and the floors of old cafés.
Paper tiles became prevalent in Hong Kong in the ’50s and ’60s. According to a survey published in 1984, 80% of the 500 buildings investigated were decorated mainly with paper tiles. The small squares may not be the most noticeable, but they are an important symbol of the old Hong Kong.

有人笑他太天真,這部又不是跑車,又何來速度?阿聲卻自豪地說:「我就係要改得快過你,先有意思。」他受John Cooper的啟蒙,認為故事和他本人相似:被很多人看輕,馬力不如別的車,車身又細小……最後也能連續幾屆贏得蒙地卡羅賽的世界冠軍。這令阿聲下定決心要改裝Mini Cooper S F56,令它也可以成為賽車場上的冠軍。
