NHK's documentary program "Another Stories: Crossroads of Destiny" (NHK BS) will be rebroadcasting "The Day Hong Kong's "Den of Evil," Kowloon Walled City, Disappeared" as a "selection" from 9:00 p.m. on January 7th.
This feature focuses on Kowloon Walled City, a place feared as a "den of evil" in Hong Kong under British rule. Kowloon Walled City was a place feared as the "den of evil" of the Orient under British rule, and it was said that if you entered, your life would be lost. It was a huge slum where illegal buildings were crowded together on a small piece of land and tens of thousands of people lived.
While it was a stronghold of gambling, drugs, prostitution and the mafia, it also maintained internal autonomy, had excellent medical and welfare services, and was said to be a place full of human kindness. Is it a horrible slum or a paradise of freedom? This film explores the shocking reality of this lawless area that emerged between Britain and China.
