Synopsis:
Hong Kong is a lively city; Tsim Sha Tsui is a mid-night paradise for
most of the teenagers. Ah Man and Ah Fok are two of them that we can find
in the terrace in Cultural Centre almost every night.
They said that they have rode bicycle for 2 years, Tsim Shan Tsui is a
check point for them, and the starting point is in Cheung Sha Wan, pass
through Nathan Road, stop at Tsim Sha Tsui, then go to Sai Kung or other
farther places. Sometimes, they are discriminated or even blocked by police,
but they still go on because they enjoy cycling, they enjoy the time they
ride as fast as wind, and enjoy grouping with friends so that they can
share with each other. This is the best way to evade from reality. Ah
Man told me, an 18-year-old boy, is an express delivery in Tsim Sha Tsui
district. It¡¦s a hard job for him, he has to get back to office at 7:00am
every morning and work until 5:00pm, and he has to deliver more than 500
orders within 10 hours. Moreover, he is so new that scold by customers
all the time. But he told himself that he should work hard and be patient
to those bad customers, he is no longer a child anymore, so he should
count on himself instead of asking parents for money everyday, career
becomes important at his age, he didn¡¦t want to lead a life like 2 years
ago, just got 20 dollars inside the pocket.
Ah Fok, 17-year-old, stopped school at his 15 and worked as a temporary
driver assistant, when there is no duty for him, he idles at home or go
to game centre for whole day, sometimes go to bar with friends at midnight,

think too much, they don¡¦t have any plans for their future life¡K.. Meanwhile,
