'The metal shutter finally comes down.

Uncle and Aunt Choi’s 84-square-foot shop under a staircase served the To Kwa Wan community for 58 years, from 1962 to 2020.

Urban-planner-now-photographer Kelvin Chan visits Choi Kee Emporium and the environs during the last days of trading. He feels the couple’s inspirational spirit of hard work, optimism and devotion, and he feels his own sense of loss, nostalgia and cherishment: Chan grew up in same neighbourhood.' - from publisher's website.



「終於拉下捲閘了。財叔財嬸位於鴻福街唐樓樓梯底的店舖僅佔84平方呎,卻為社區服務了58年,最後於2020年6月19日結業。

這是一個香港故事,關於普通卻優秀的一代人。他們留下來的除了美好回憶,還有啟發着下一代的勤奮、樂觀和奉獻精神。

作者陳國榮在書中透過影像敍述『財記百貨』最後的日子。他在小店內外穿梭、在區內閒逛,追尋他們一家人留下的足跡,細察與感受財叔財嬸如何互相扶持守護着這小商店,還讓許多早已被遺忘的日用品重新煥發魅力。」- 摘錄自出版社網頁
