Hong Kong fishermen keep old ways, 25 years after handover

A fisherman Ng Koon-hee catches a fish in Tai O village of Hong Kong, Saturday, June 25, 2022. Tai O is a remote and scenic fishing village on the west side of Hong Kong's Lantau Island. Tai O's homes perched on stilts above its small harbor, are a picturesque remnant of skyscraper-studded Hong Kong's past. Hundreds of years ago, before the British colonists arrived in the mid-1800s, fishing was a way of life here and in other villages in the Pearl River Delta region.

The Ng brothers, fishermen living in the remote Hong Kong village of Tai O, have carried on with their lives since moving from the Chinese mainland in the 1950s, untouched by political campaigns and even Britain's handover of the city to Chinese control in 1997.
