  Then this one is the newspaper of July 1, 1997. I got up early in the morning and went to the newspaper stand to buy this newspaper. I bought whichever copy I saw, and kept it. In 1997 July 1st is a very important or memorable day in Hong Kong. After Hong Kong returned to China, it left the colonial era and returned to China and its own home.

For those of us who grew up in Hong Kong, that day had a big impact, because it was a special day. We grew up in the 1970s and witnessed a big change in times.

It's actually very touching, it really feels like we're finally home, a home of our own, a place of our own, that's what it feels like, not that we're a sojourner or something has been robbed, but now we belong Go back to wherever.

  [Explanation] Recalling the original intention of the collection, Dylanze said that in addition to commemorating special days, he also hopes to retrieve some childhood memories.

  Why do I open a nostalgic store like this? In fact, the main reason is that we grew up in the 1970s. At that time, it was not so easy to buy things. The pocket money at home was relatively small, and the house was very strict. Buying so many things for us makes me want to get back the things I liked when I grew up.

But later, many people who collect things in Hong Kong came to look for them, and they found what they were looking for. They said that you were a collector. In fact, I didn't think I was a collector. I just found my childhood memories. Or find something with a beautiful design that you think is beautiful, put it in this store, and then start to continue this store for 18 years now.

  [Explanation] For 18 years, Dylanze has traveled around the world to find old objects in Hong Kong.

He said frankly that due to the rapid development of Hong Kong, many objects were eliminated by the times before they could be preserved.

  In fact, the things in Hong Kong are the most difficult to find and the most precious, because Hong Kong is really special. It is very difficult to collect things in Hong Kong. It does not mean that you can buy things with money, because the biggest problem is the space in Hong Kong. , No one can keep the old things, as well as the old buildings in Hong Kong, the city is developing very fast, the old buildings and shops will be demolished and rebuilt, and the old things will disappear all the way, because of the problems of living in Hong Kong and the space problem, It's impossible to keep so many things.

  [Explanation] For 25 years, Hong Kong has attracted foreigners from all over the world to settle and develop here.

As a native of Hong Kong of Indian descent, Dylanze has witnessed the development of Hong Kong with his own eyes during the collection process, and hopes to find his own meaning and value in this land.
