Can you tell me the difference between Hong Kong in British times and Hong Kong now?

There are many differences between Hong Kong in Britain and Hong Kong now, including: 1. Economic development: Hong Kong was a port city in the British period, and its main economic activities were shipping and light industrial production. Now Hong Kong is an international financial, commercial and tourism center, and has also developed high-tech industries. 2. Social system: During the British period, Hong Kong was under British colonial rule. The political system is dominated by the Executive Council, and the Chief Executive is appointed by the British royal family. At present, Hong Kong implements "one country, two systems", has an independent judicial system and legislature, and the Chief Executive is elected. 3. Cultural exchange: Hong Kong in the British period was deeply influenced by Chinese and Western cultures, and Chinese and English cultures infiltrated each other. Nowadays, Hong Kong is more international and pays more attention to the inheritance of local culture. 4. Lifestyle: During the British-Hong Kong period, Hong Kong people were dominated by traditional families, and their lives were relatively simple, and their eating habits and social habits were also formed. Modern Hong Kong people are more diversified, their lifestyles are more diversified, and their diets are more rich and open. In a word, Hong Kong in the British period and Hong Kong now have unique cultural and historical values. Although there are many differences, they are all important processes of Hong Kong's growth and development.
